Historic Quadruplets Born in West Lothian

Arlene and John Mitchell, a couple from Longridge, West Lothian, beat odds of one in 700,000 by welcoming naturally conceived quadruplets - Ben, Noah, Harrison, and Rory. Born prematurely on May 14, the boys weighed less than 3lb each, with Harrison being the smallest at 2lb 14 oz. This exceptional birth marks a first in the West Lothian area and at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. The Mitchell family, already parents to two children, is now adjusting to life as a family of eight, supported by a dedicated medical team during the birth. The quadruplets' arrival, a rare and joyous event, required meticulous planning and care to ensure their well-being and successful delivery.
