The birth
of quadruplets is exceptional, but when there are two sets of identical twins,
it's even rarer. That's what happened in Munich in August, and now the infants
are ready to leave the hospital.
The four
babies, two boys and two girls, were born three months premature and Munich's
Harlaching clinic in August.
Despite the
risky procedure (33 physicians and nurses took part), there were no severe
complications during the birth of Raya, Danya, Ali and Khalid (pictured).
There was,
however, something that made these births even more exceptional than they
normally would be. Ali and Khalid are identical twins, and so are Raya and
Danya.
"Truly
a sensation," said clinic pediatric head Birgit Fritz, adding: "This
will most likely be the only time we see this in our career."
The proud
parents, who come from Abu Dhabi, will be able to take their four infants home
in mid-November, following a routine three-month observation period for
premature births.
