Natalie Maree, 30, from Roebourne in Western Australia, and her husband Kahn struggled for years before having their first daughter Kiki, two, so were shocked to find out they were expecting once more.
She and her husband Kahn were then overjoyed when they fell pregnant with daughter Kiki and became parents two years ago.
But the pair were even more shocked when Natalie was told she was expecting quadruplets last year, with the mum saying her ‘jaw dropped.
She said: “Squinting at the fuzzy screen, I spotted two sacs. ‘Twins!’ I squealed, pointing.”
When the sonographer told her she was wrong, she asked if she was having triplets.
“But slowly the sonographer shook his head. Then, without a word, he held up four fingers!” she continued, adding that her husband, Kahn, ‘almost passed out.
Natalie gave birth to the quadruplets via C-section at 34 weeks, following months of weekly scans to check the baby’s health. The quads, Maioha Kahn (2.3kg), Frankee Gene (1.92kg), Marley Rose (2.2kg), and Maddison Grace (2.1kg) were born on July 21 within the space of minutes.
She has since been updating fans on her Instagram page – Kiki and the quads – with sweet photos of their family.
She explained how four had “fused together” to give her babies life, labeling it “amazing”.
But life is certainly busier now with another four babies, and Natalie revealed it takes her and Kahn one and a half hours to feed all four babies.
She explained that as soon as they go to sleep she is “counting” down until the next feed.
She has also shared a post-baby photo, crediting her ‘amazing’ body for carrying her quads.
The proud mum wrote: “Every time I look back at these photos they honestly BLOW MY MIND! Isn’t the human body AMAZING? Like seriously!
“Our organs move and our bodies grow and stretch to house a baby/babies. It then nourishes and protects our young until they are ready to come earth-side.
“Your body MAY or may NOT be the same after having a baby! BUT when you think about what it has done, that no longer matters! ”
