A 34-year-old Australian mom has given birth to a rare set of identical quadruplets after a naturally conceived pregnancy that doctors say occurs in about 1 in 15 million cases.<\/p>\n

Jenitar Na\u2019amoana welcomed her \u201cprecious miracles\u201d Emily, Harriet, Catherine and Alexa by cesarean section at 28 weeks and four days on July 14 at Royal Brisbane and Women\u2019s Hospital in Herston, Queensland, the BBC reported.<\/p>\n

Na\u2019amoana and her husband Jortham were taken by \u201cimmense surprise\u201d when they learned they were expecting identical quadruplets despite not using fertility treatments.<\/p>\n

The babies are monozygotic quadruplets, meaning they developed after a single fertilized egg split into four embryos.<\/p>\n

The Brisbane couple are now parents of eight children after the birth, with their older kids ranging from 1 to 10 years old.<\/p>\n

Dr. Alexa Bendall, who oversaw Na\u2019amoana\u2019s care, said the case was even more unusual because all four babies shared a single placenta.<\/p>\n

\u201cIdentical quadruplets occur at one in every 15 million pregnancies, but to share the same placenta \u2014 this is unheard of,\u201d Bendall told the BBC.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Na\u2019amoana was admitted to the hospital at 25 weeks so doctors could closely monitor both her and the babies because of the risks associated with the pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Despite those risks, Na\u2019amoana reached 28 weeks and four days without experiencing the major complications doctors had anticipated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always said that if we could get her to 28 weeks, we would be doing well,\u201d Bendall said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo the fact that we\u2019ve got four beautiful, healthy babies born at 28 weeks and four days is incredible and we\u2019re very happy to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Na\u2019amoana \u201chas somehow dodged every complication and risk for both herself and her babies,\u201d Bendall said.<\/p>\n

Na\u2019amoana and her husband named one of the newborns Alexa in honor of Bendall. The doctor called the gesture \u201ca beautiful tribute,\u201d the ABC reported.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The newborns are expected to remain in the neonatal intensive care unit for several weeks while they continue to grow stronger.<\/p>\n

Na\u2019amoana later launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover medical expenses and the cost of a larger van for the family\u2019s new life as a household of 10.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur four precious miracles have arrived safely,\u201d she wrote. \u201cAnd while our hearts are overflowing with gratitude, the reality of caring for four newborns at once has brought challenges we never could have imagined.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of July 21, the fundraiser had raised more than 82,000 Australian dollars (about $57,500).<\/p>\n
