The expectant mother and her boyfriend were stunned by the news that they were expecting triplets. But the couple was left speechless when they discovered that they would soon have not only three but four babies.
The father fainted in the delivery room, overwhelmed with emotion.
The probability of giving birth to female quadruplets is one in 700,000 births.
As it turned out, Gemma Robson and her partner Andy Raine had this chance.
During a routine 12-week pregnancy check-up, the couple was surprised by the ultrasound’s verdict. The doctor informed them that they were expecting triplets.
During her 17-week examination, it became clear that a fourth child had nestled in her mother’s belly.
Gemma and Andy had weeks to prepare for the arrival of their four little ones.
The four girls were born before the due date. Gemma gave birth to them on November 18 via cesarean section.
While preparing for the girls’ arrival, Andy fainted in the delivery room and missed the birth of his daughters: Dani, Skye, Mia, and Taylor.
They had to be placed in intensive care and spend at least three months there before going home with their parents.
“I can’t wait to bring all the girls home, but going from one to five is quite challenging,” Gemma confessed.
