Twin lottery: a woman gives birth to two sets of twins in the same year

Alexzandria Wolliston lives in Palm Beach, Florida (United States) and has become a famous mother, since in 2019 she gave birth to two sets of twins.

Only one in 250 naturally achieved pregnancies are multiples. But if it is not very common to carry two babies, it is less common to repeat a twin birth in the next pregnancy and if we add to that that all four are male and were born in the same year, it can be said that he has won “the lottery for twins “ As suggested by her doctors when they told her last Mother’s Day that she was pregnant with two babies, again.

“They are a gift from heaven”

Mark and Malakhi were born last March and in May they told their mother that they were having twins again. On December 27, Kaylen and Kayleb joined the family at 34 weeks gestation.

Her mother has posted photos of her four babies on Instagram to show off her children, how could it be otherwise.

But despite being born prematurely, newborns are fine.

According to the television program ‘Good Morning America’, Kayleb was released from the hospital on Monday, while Kayleb will remain in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit until he learns to eat on his own. His mother hopes to take him home to his three other brothers and three-year-old older sister this week.

Alexzandria explained in an interview broadcast on WPTV / CNN that she feels very lucky since she recently learned that her two grandmothers had lost twins during childbirth, which is why she describes her children as “a gift from heaven.”

Even so, she acknowledges that she was restless during her last pregnancy, as it was very followed by her previous pregnancy.

“I was wondering if my body would be able to handle two twin pregnancies in a row.”
