Hannah Carmack’s story is a rare example of how unexpected turns of fate can bring priceless happiness and change lives. The woman gave birth to four babies, who turned out to be a pair of twins.
30-year-old Hannah Carmack from Alabama (USA) was shocked when she learned that she was expecting not just one child, but quadruplets. For a woman who was not taking fertility drugs, the news came as a complete surprise. Writes about this Newsweek.
“We couldn’t imagine that instead of one baby there would be four, so I cried a lot,” Hannah said.
The birth of quadruplets is an extremely rare event, occurring in about one in 571,787 pregnancies, according to the CDC. But the surprises didn’t end there for Hannah: it was soon revealed that she was carrying two sets of identical twins – two girls, Evelyn and Adeline, and two boys, David and Daniel.

The publication notes that the quadruplets were born at 27 weeks and three days after a difficult pregnancy. Hannah remembers being especially worried about the girls, as one of them was at risk of stillbirth. On the day of her birth, she was rushed to hospital when Evelyn slipped into the birth canal. At 04:15 in the morning, doctors were ready for an emergency caesarean section, and about 40-50 people in the operating room were waiting for the babies to be born.
Before having quadruplets, Hannah worked as a veterinary technician and worked 13-hour night shifts. She already had a 9-year-old daughter, and she could not spend enough time with her and her husband.
“The year I got pregnant, I prayed that God would change my work schedule. I had no idea that He would bless me with quadruplets. These children have changed my life and completed our family,” Hannah said.

Social media users call the woman lucky and compare the birth of quadruplets to winning the lottery. While the response has been mostly positive, Hannah admits she has received some criticism.
“My husband and I sometimes sit on the couch, eat popcorn and laugh at the comments, because only those who have four children at once will understand why we do what we do,” says the American.
Previously Focus reported that a donated DNA test kit had revealed a family secret that had been kept for 50 years. A man named Tony received a DNA testing kit as a gift and decided to use it. The results shocked him, as a new “sister” named Claire appeared in his family tree.
It also became known that the woman married a man who forgot about their separation after a concussion. Mitchell Brotherson suffered a severe concussion while trying to do a somersault on a ski slope. Once in the hospital, he called his girlfriend Jenna asking her to take him home, not remembering that they had recently broken up.
