you wont know until the very end what you actually have the babies
Answer:
Your Sonographer will be able to tell you. I think it is based on how many sacs/ placenta's there are. If there are two they are not identical because they are from two separate eggs.

∙ 13y agoYes, you can get identical triplets - they occur when an egg splits in two, then one of the two splits again, resulting in three eggs with identical genetic material.
I'm a triplet myself (one of three girls), although one of a 2-identical, 1-fraternal set. I'm the fraternal one, but by coincidence I still look very much like my sisters.

In a set of triplets how can two be identical and the other not like the two?
In triplets you could have 3 individuals that came from 3 separate eggs or you could theoretically have 2 eggs fertilized and one of the eggs split in two giving a set of identical twins and the other egg would give you triplets. Theoretically you can have identical triplets, if one of the eggs decided to split a second time (this would be a VERY rare occurance). In that case all of the babies would be identical. In triplets you you can have three individuals that came from three separate eggs, or you could have two eggs fertilized, and one of the eggs splitting to make identical twins while the other egg would give you triplets. If one of the eggs decided to split a second time this would result in identical triplets. [Identical triplets are very rare] only 1 in 1000 triplet births are identical.
How likely is it to have identical triplets?
No. That's stupid. But it is theoretically possible to have identical quadruplets, as in two sets of identical twins. (Another User) But I have heard of identical triplets - It was in the newspaper. They are all 5 years old (Third user) Actually, it IS possible, though exceedingly rare - said to occur in around 1 in 200,000,000 (200 million) births. It happens when one egg splits into identical twins, and then one of those eggs splits again, resulting in three total. As long as all goes well and all three survive the pregnancy and birth, they will live to be identical triplets. There is a story about identical triplets born to a British woman in Austria in 2007. I'd put a link here but don't know if they're allowed. Just search on "identical triplets in Austria" and it will come up. Don't use the quotes.
What makes triplets?
Triplets can be caused in three different ways. With identical triplets there is only one ovum; it splits in two, then one of the two splits again. The second type of triplets is where there are two ova and one splits to form identical twins. Incidentally, I am one out of a set of this type of triplets (I'm the fraternal one, though I still look alot like my sisters). With the third type of triplets there are three ova, meaning that all the triplets are fraternal. This is the most common type, particularly since the rise of fertility treatment.
