What exactly is being quantified?
It depends for starters on when you try to conceive. You could increase your chances significantly by trying to conceive in May. If your husband is in prison or Afghanistan in the relavant May your odds drop to zero.
Are we talking about the odds of all 3 being born on 29th Feb? That gives huge odds. Or are we asking if my first child happens to be born on 29th Feb what is the chance the next 2 will be born on the next two 29th Febs. That gives smaller (but still large) odds
I think the odds are pretty meaningless
