Australian woman gives birth to rare identical quadruplet daughters
All four daughters share 100 percent of their DNA after a single fertilized egg split into four embryos, making the pregnancy a one-in-15-million occurrence.
Jenitar Na'amoana and her husband, Jortham, thought their family was complete after welcoming four children. Then came an unexpected surprise: four naturally conceived, identical daughters.
Na'amoana, 34, gave birth to Emily, Harriet, Catherine and Alexa last week.
"The fact that we've got four beautiful, healthy babies born at 28 weeks and four days is incredible," said Dr. Alexa Bendall of the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital.
In 2020, the Marr family in Dallas welcomed their own set of naturally conceived identical quadruplets: Harrison, Henry, Hardy and Hudson.
Jenny Marr believes that, whatever the odds, they've won four jackpots in the same genetic lottery.
