Australian mum welcomes one in 15 million quadruplets
Teaser / Tailpiece story
An Australian family is celebrating the arrival of four identical baby girls after a naturally conceived pregnancy so rare that doctors estimate the chances at just one in 15 million.
Thirty four year old Jenitar Na'amoana gave birth to Emily, Harriet, Alexa and Catherine at a Brisbane hospital after the babies developed from a single fertilised egg that split into four. Doctors say all four babies are doing well in neonatal intensive care after being born prematurely.
The remarkable birth is believed to be the first naturally conceived pregnancy of its kind in Australia and one of only a handful of similar cases recorded worldwide.
