According to the health officials, multiple births can be risky. They put mom through a lot and the babies as well. During and interview, the couple, Tim and Bethany, reportedly said that they wanted to wait some time to start a family.
But, they found out Bethany was pregnant just three months after they tied the knot. After visiting the doctor, Bethany soon learned that her pregnancy was anything but ordinary. And when it was time to get the ultrasound, she saw that four little lives were growing within her. And at that knowledge, she swelled with love for the little ones yet to be born.
Being pregnant with four babies was very stressful for the couple. They needed to prepare their house for four new lives. That meant they had to buy a lot of diapers and other supplies.
Besides the economic impact of having quadruplets, the Webbs also had to prepare themselves mentally. Bethany was just 22-years-old. She also had to put her health under a microscope.
Now that she had four unborn babies relying on her, she needed more rest. She upgraded her diet and drank a lot of water. Everything she did was for the little one. And her community also helped out. Because the couple were adding four lives to the town of 900, they were jumping the population up somewhat dramatically.
Neighbors and friends gave donations and launched fundraisers to help the young couple prepare for the babies. When the time came, Bethany learned that the quadruplets were all girls.
This was a blessing and a miracle. The odds that they were all the same sex was definitely against the young couple, but it was a dream come true for Bethany. She always wanted to be a mom of little girls.
Being pregnant with quadruplets is not easy. Bethany struggle to sleep – four pairs of feet kept kicking her at all hours of the night. She tried to eat enough food – but with four mouths to feed it was not easy. And she tried to keep herself healthy.
Eventually, her planned C-section date came. And it would prove to be a one-in-a-15-million day. When all four babies were born, the doctors and nurses in the room could not believe what they saw.
The quadruplets were identical. That’s something so rare you might as well go play the Powerball. Now the new family is working hard to keep everyone happy. “They’re all doing really well,” Bethani told TODAY Parents. “They’re all good.” Because they were small at birth, they would all share the same crib. That made things easier, but also harder to tell them apart.
