Mom Completely Shocked By What Doctors Tell Her About Ultrasound After 4 Miscarriages

After 10-years of struggle with infertility, the first-time parents from Hoyt Lakes, Minnesota, welcomed four girls on July 4.

Olivia Susan, Anna Louise, Morgan Price and Carolyn Grace were delivered by cesarean section — in just four minutes! — at The Mother Baby Center in Minneapolis. The smallest was Anna, who weighed in at 2 pounds, 7 ounces, while Carolyn, the largest, was born at 3 pounds, 8 ounces.

Though Allyson underwent IVF, she was told by her doctors that there was only a 30 percent chance that the procedure would be successful. So the Pontos were shocked when they learned at their six-week ultrasound that they were expecting quadruplets. “I was totally prepared for a letdown. Or for something to be wrong,” Allyson, who endured four devastating miscarriages, said. “When I saw those four heartbeats. I just started crying. All I ever wanted was the chance to be a parent.”
