The pregnant woman never expected the quadruplets to be born that day.
When Tania Villanueva first learned she was pregnant, she could never have anticipated the incredible surprises that lay ahead. Little did she know that she would soon leave both herself and the fathers of her children utterly amazed. You see, they weren’t just expecting one baby; they were expecting four!
Everything was going according to plan until Tania’s mother arrived for her scheduled appointment on New Year’s Eve. However, Tania received an unexpected shock when the doctors informed her that the quadruplets would be born on that very day.
“It all happened so quickly. I was admitted to the hospital at 11:30 a.m. and had my first baby at 2:36 p.m.,” Tania recalled to FOX40. “I was overjoyed. I thought, ‘These are my first and last babies,'” she added.
The first baby to be born was Andrew, followed by Julian, Robert, and Samuel. At that time, Tania was only 28 weeks pregnant, meaning the little ones arrived 12 weeks earlier than expected. Despite this, all four babies appeared to be in good health.
What astonished everyone even more was the fact that the siblings were born at two-minute intervals. In other words, the time gap between the first and youngest baby was a mere eight minutes. Such a close succession of births is quite rare for quadruplets.
Around 20 professionals, including doctors, anesthesiologists, and nurses, played a crucial role in ensuring the safe delivery of the Villanueva quadruplets. “As the babies were born, they were handed over to the next nurse. There were people everywhere,” Tania mentioned.
The premature babies are currently still in the hospital but are expected to be discharged soon. As a result, every day, the fathers make the half-hour journey to the hospital to visit their children. This extraordinary event occurred in the city of Modesto, USA.
Many of the couple’s friends had already decided to support them, so they set up an online crowdfunding page to raise money for the family, which now has six members! The initiative has already received more than $3,000 in donations.
