The authors have examined 30 children from triplet pregnancies aged 18 months to 16.5 years. The group included 20 girls and 10 boys. Triplet pregnancy was found to be, in the average, the fourth consecutive pregnancy in mothers. Physical and mental development was assessed. It was found that 60% of children showed a physical development below the appropriate norm for their age. In 83% of the children under examination mental age ranged below chronological age.
