Alexzandria Wolliston and co-parent Curtis Quinn welcomed identical twin boys Mark and Malakhi in March 2019. Realized she had hit the “twin lottery” when doctors informed her she was expecting twins again last Mother’s Day, according to WPTV.

 

She became a mom to a second set of twins on Dec. 27 when she delivered fraternal twins Kaylen and Kayleb.

 

Wolliston said that prior to giving birth to Mark and Malakhi, she was unaware twins ran in both sides of her family.

“When my mom told me, and my aunties and uncles on my dad’s side told me, I was like shocked”. She said “Both of my grandmothers are no longer here, so I feel like they’re watching over me,”

Wolliston said her doctor told her she had better chances of winning the lottery than having two sets of twins and delivering them in the same year.

Wolliston is also the mother of a 2-year-old girl. She was scared about how her body would handle a back to back twin pregnancy.

She said “I never thought that it could happen that fast and it did”. Adding that she was worried about how her body would be able to handle a back-to-back twin pregnancy.

It turned out that Wolliston’s second pregnancy was easier than the first:

She said, her first set of twins were considered high risk. Because they were in the same sac using only one placenta. Because of this, she would visit her doctor weekly or bi-weekly. But her second set of twins each had their own sac. She was only required to visit her doctor once a month throughout her pregnancy.
