Stacey Skrysak desperately wanted to give her only surviving triplet a sibling

A grieving mum desperate to give her only surviving IVF triplet a sibling was stunned when she conceived her "rainbow" baby. Stacey Skrysak, 42, gave birth to triplets Abigail, Peyton and Parker four months before their due date.

Despite doctors doing all they could, Abigail died on the day of her birth, with their son, Parker, living for 55 days before passing away of a brain injury. Stacey and husband, Ryan, 42, a superintendent at a construction firm, were relieved when their third triplet, Peyton - the identical sister to Abigail - defied all the odds to survive.

The grieving couple became desperate for more children and to give Peyton, now nine, a sibling, but were too frightened to try and conceive. The couple also did not believe they could have babies naturally, as Stacey had struggled with years of infertility due to her fallopian tubes being blocked and parts of her ovaries missing.
