00:00Four tiny miracles. Against incredible odds, quadruplets Rory, Harrison, Ben and Noah were
00:06naturally conceived. Doctors at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary meticulously planned the birth,
00:11with mum Arlene having a planned caesarean section of 30 weeks. A team of 20 medics were
00:16involved in the delivery.
00:17I think I was in shock because I was more like survival mode, I think, scared in case
00:21something happened to anyone else. And then when the four of them were there, still when
00:25you come in and go to their beds, I'm still in a wee bit of, aye, just a wee bit of shock.
00:30All the boys weighed in just shy of three pounds. They're believed to be the first naturally
00:34conceived quads born in Lothian.
00:36I don't think it's anything that any of us will forget for a long, long time. And the
00:41chances of this happening again is pretty slim, so it'll definitely be remembered.
00:45The couple already have two children and are now excited about taking their four new babies
00:49home.
00:50I'm ecstatic, aye. It's quite hard to describe, to be honest. It's amazing. It really is amazing.
00:56Yeah, I'm ready to go. I just can't wait to get them home. Yeah, it'll just be a nice
01:02wee family, you know what I mean, or a big family.
01:05The chances of the boys all being identical are 15 million to one, but they've already
01:10beaten the odds of being here at all.
