The couple admitted the news was overwhelming. "I'm still young and suddenly we have six kids at home, so we were in shock," Efrat recalled. Daniel was more composed: "We're not worried about anything. We have faith and all the help we need."
"I feel like having twins was good practice. Our eldest was still in diapers when they arrived, so it was like having triplets,” she added.
Efrat praised the hospital where she delivered. "This was my third time giving birth here and the staff was amazing, supportive and attentive. They made sure we felt safe and had the best experience possible," she said.
Professor Edi Vaisbuch, director of maternal-fetal medicine unit and the maternity wards at the hospital, noted: "A triplet pregnancy is relatively rare and considered high-risk. The goal is to reach 35–36 weeks. We were pleased to achieve such an advanced stage, with all three babies born at similar, relatively high weights for triplets — around 2 kilograms (4.4 lbs.)."
Dr. Calanit Hershkowitz-Shafran, head of the hospital’s NICU and neonatal department, added: "A triplet birth is a complex event requiring expertise, teamwork and coordination. In this case, a large, senior multidisciplinary team was present for the C-section operation."
On whether more children are in the couple’s future, Efrat said: "I'm just starting to process everything. We’re not ruling out more kids but we’re making no decisions for now."
