Kicker - Surprise pregnancy

NICK EICHER, HOST: For Ashley Ness of Taunton, Massachusetts, this visit to the doctor produced quite the surprise.

NESS: I said … what? She said ‘you’ve having a baby.’

True, but not the whole truth.

An even bigger surprise showed up in an ultrasound. She told TV station WCVB…

NESS: She starts looking and she’s like, honey, you’re having four babies. I said … I’m sorry, what?

Quadruplets are extremely rare and for Ashley Ness, even more so. Because she’s carrying two sets of identical twins.

She was not receiving fertility treatments, so that makes the likelihood of this pregnancy one in 70-million, give or take a million.

NESS: I feel truly blessed.
