 After finding out the surprising news, Gaby had to have her cervix sewn shut to prevent miscarriage with a surgery called cervical cerclage. The pair discovered they were expecting all boy quadruplets and Gaby was monitored carefully for the remainder of her pregnancy, due to the high risk. Gaby gave birth at 34 weeks to Adam, 4 lbs 8oz, Bennett, 4 Lbs 7oz, Coby, 4lbs and Dane, 4lbs 1oz, via a planned c-section on June 22 this year, making them a family of nine. The Haglers now say they get through a whopping 47 nappies, 32 bottles, a packet and a half of wipes, and three loads of baby laundry every day. Gaby, a real estate broker, said: "I get the quads confused sometimes because Bennett and Coby look pretty identical - I have to paint one of their toenails so I can tell them apart. "Bennett has a green toenail and Coby has a white toenail. "We have colours for Adam and Dane too but as they've got older, they are easier to tell them apart.){kind=link}
A couple were thrilled to welcome quadruplets after trying to have a final baby but admit the big change has come with confusion as they often struggle to tell the babies apart
Welcoming a new baby can be a big change for any family, but having quadruplets is another story altogether. This was the reality for one couple, who had been trying to have a fourth and final child together. However, when Gaby and Patrick Hagler went for their 12-week scan, they were shocked to learn they were expecting more than one.
Gaby, 40, couldn’t believe she was naturally expecting quadruplets at a one in a million odds, but the couple were ecstatic to find out their family was growing.
The parents from Katy, Texas, US, already have a two-year-old son together, as well as a child each from a previous relationship. They welcomed their four little ones in July 2022 and have since opened up about life with quads – including the struggles of telling the babies apart.
