When Dr. Ronald Cypher looked at patient Sarah Morrow’s chart, he did more than a double take.

He did a triple take.

Only one in 10,000 pregnancies leads to triplets — and this was one of those cases. Cypher, a Butler-based obstetrics and gynecology doctor, had not witnessed an event such as this in his medical career, which began more than 30 years ago.

“It’s very rare,” said Cypher. “And it’s a surprise on the ultrasound. Obviously you’ll see one baby and then you’ll see a second baby and then, all of a sudden, there’s three ... And it’s a surprise for the mother, the dad and the obstetrician.”

Morrow brought fraternal triplets Beau, Rhett and Luke into the world just after 6:20 p.m. July 29 at Allegheny Health Network Penn Hospital. She spent most of her pregnancy in Butler, with husband Randy Morrow lending support.
