A mother has spoken of her joy after giving birth to naturally conceived quadruplets.
The smallest of the baby brothers, Harrison, weighed 2lb 14 oz, while Ben, Noah, and Rory each tipped the scales at 2lb 15oz.
Arlene said that welcoming them into the world was “an incredible and overwhelming experience”.
Naturally conceived quadruplets are extremely rare, with doctors estimating the odds at about one in 700,000 births.
They are the first quadruplets to be born in Lothian.
Arlene, 34, and John, 38, already have a daughter Lauren, 11, and three-year-old son Hunter. But they must now get used to being a family of eight.
