An Offaly woman has given birth to quadruplets at Dublin’s Rotunda Hospital, the lifestyle and parenting website HerFamily.ie has reported. The four baby boys were born to Anita and David Kelly from Kilclonfert, Co. Offaly on Saturday, February 28.

The four boys are said to be doing well, and their aunt Aisling Kelly spoke to HerFamily.ie to express the family’s delight over the new arrivals. Aisling said that all four boys are healthy, and Anita is recovering after the caesarean section delivery. "There has been so many lovely messages from people; it's unreal," the proud aunt told InOffaly on Sunday night.
Aisling also shared the all important names with InOffaly, and the four boys have been called Luke, Charlie, Tom and James. “David and Anita’s 14-month-old son Matthew was delighted to hear the news that he had become a big brother,” Aisling said. A photograph of the quadruplet’s excited older brother displaying his delight at now having enough brothers to field a five-a-side football team was shared with the website.
Incredibly, the babies were conceived naturally, making this delivery a rare occurrence, given that the chances of naturally conceiving quadruplets is 1 in 729,000. Only six per cent of all quadruplets born worldwide are conceived naturally.
Anita and David will now return to Kilclonfert to a happy household of five boys.
