movieguy Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Fraternal Twin Delivers 2 Sets of Identical Twins on Her Birthday The Associated Press Published: Aug 14, 2004 WYNNEWOOD, Pa. (AP) - The odds of a fraternal twin giving birth to two sets of identical twins may be one in a million, but Geana Morris can attest to it. She delivered the quadruplets - two boys and two girls - on her 34th birthday at Lankenau Hospital. Mom and babies were doing well, hospital officials said Friday. "It's a very special 'birth' day for me," said Morris, herself a fraternal twin. Morris was implanted with two embryos in January, with the hope of carrying one to term. She and her husband, Kurt, also have a 2-year-old son. Dr. Andrew Gerson, who delivered the babies, put the odds of such an occurrence at about one in 1 million quadruplet births. Each of the newborns weighed between 2 and 3 pounds. Doctors hope the babies, who are receiving some help breathing, can be sent to their suburban Philadelphia home by the end of September, about a month before their mother's due date.
