Quad sisters born 12 weeks prematurely all home at last after epic hospital battle for survival


Proud parents Gillian Holden and Marc Hanley brought the last of their four baby daughters home, seven months after they were born.

Mother Gillian, who defied odds of 750,000 to one to conceive the quadruplets naturally, had fallen ill with pre-eclampsia during the pregnancy.

Doctors were forced to perform an emergency caeasarian to deliver the babies when her organs began to fail.

Born prematurely at just 28 weeks in January, the four baby girls had weighed just 7lb 6oz between them and had been separated from birth as they required specialist care to nurture them through the first few months of their lives.
