A triplet maternity in a reduced population with excessive twinning.

In 1991 a triplet maternity of same-sex (FFF) occurred in a depopulated community of Argyll, Scotland, with a history of excessive, same-sex twinning. Due to a stillbirth and its confidentiality, the maternity was recorded as a twin birth. Using public registers may result in underestimation of rates for higher multiple conceptions and births in local districts.
