Do you remember the story of the quadruplets born by surprise at Christmas at 29 weeks gestation? They were conceived naturally, something that happens in one of every 700 thousand births and they were born on December 20 by Caesarean section, eleven weeks ahead of time.
Due to its prematurity they had to remain admitted for 65 days in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) from Piedmont Newnan Hospital, of Georgia, and finally a few days ago they were able to go home with their parents and their older brother.
Conceived naturally
The parents of the babies, Kortney and Justin Miller, who were already parents of a four-year-old child, knew they were likely to have a multiple pregnancy, since in the mother's family there is a history of twins and triplets, but they did not imagine Four would come.
Brandon, Brayden, Bryant and Kenlee are fruit of a natural gestation, without mediating assisted reproduction treatments. Each embryo was gestated individually with its own placenta and amniotic sac and weighed approximately 1,350 grams each at birth.
On February 18, after remaining in neonatal care for more than two months, where they have gained approximately one kilo each, finally they were able to go home very healthy. Although all four are evolving very well, they have to go to regular checkups with the pediatrician.
The most complicated are the nights, the parents comment, (if it is already difficult with one, imagine with four) since each take takes about two and a half hours between feeding them, they make them burp and change their diaper. Hard work but happy to have them at home.
