<\/p>\nA Corpus Christi family is sharing an extraordinary birth story after welcoming four baby girls following a rare quadruplet pregnancy.<\/p>\n
Adriana Luna and her partner, Anthony Lerma, were stunned to learn they were expecting quadruplets. Luna became pregnant while using an intrauterine device (IUD).<\/p>\n
According to the World Health Organization, fewer than 1 out of 100 women become pregnant during the first year of IUD use.<\/p>\n
Luna had no reason to suspect she would soon be sharing life-changing news.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re expecting quadruplets,\u201d Luna said.<\/p>\n
Lerma, a twin himself, thought she had to be joking.<\/p>\n
Doctors later confirmed she was carrying quadruplets. The natural incidence of conceiving quadruplets is estimated at about 1 in 512,000 to 1 in 700,000 pregnancies, based on Hellin\u2019s Rule, a long-standing demographic model used to estimate the frequency of multiple births.<\/p>\n

Adriana Luna and Anthony Lerma welcomed four baby girls at Corpus Christi Medical Center after a highly unusual pregnancy.<\/p>\n
Already parents to 2-year-old Anthony, Luna recently delivered four baby girls at 29 weeks and 4 days gestation at Corpus Christi Medical Center. Amora, Analia, Arya and A\u2019zura arrived early but healthy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe team came together to assist Adriana\u2019s delivery safely, with obstetricians, neonatologists, labor and delivery nurses, and support teams all working as one,\u201d Dr. Luann Hassan said.<\/p>\n
Hassan is an obstetrician-gynecologist at Corpus Christi Medical Center.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is an incredible moment to welcome this growing family,\u201d Hassan said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll four babies are doing well and are receiving excellent care in our Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU),\u201d Dr. Miguel Deleon said.<\/p>\n
Deleon is a neonatologist at Corpus Christi Medical Center.<\/p>\n
Luna and Lerma believe the quadruplets may be identical. The combined probability of having identical, all-girl quadruplets is estimated between 1 in 240 million and 1 in 640 million. DNA testing will be required to confirm.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re so grateful for the doctors, nurses and everyone at Corpus Christi Medical Center,\u201d Luna said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey cared for us like family \u2014 and now we really are a big family,\u201d Luna said.<\/p>\n
