A TEXAS woman has beaten long odds in delivering two sets of identical twins.
The Houston Chronicle reports Tressa Montalvo delivered her sons on Feb 14 - Valentine's Day.
The odds of giving such a birth naturally are one in 70 million, the Chronicle reports.
Tressa Montalvo watches over one of four new sons, Blaine, at The Women's Hospital of Texas in Houston. Mrs Montalvo gave birth to two sets of identical twins on Valentine's Day, born at 31 weeks.
The happy parents have named their boys Ace, Cash, Dylan and Blaine.
Manuel Montalvo holds his 2-year-old son, Memphis, as he looks in on newborn Ace Montalvo.
The 36-year-old Mrs Montalvo delivered the sets of sons within a minute of each other.
Mrs Montalvo says she and her 43-year-old husband, Manuel, planned the pregnancy but didn't use fertility drugs.
In her words, "I guess we just succeeded a little too much.''
