Woman on pill pregnant with quads
BBC


Ms Zolfaghary was on a low-dose contraceptive

A 24-year-old woman who had been taking a course of contraceptive pills has found she is expecting identical quads.

Soheyla Zolfaghary, from Leeds, was told she was expecting four babies after going for a pregnancy scan, the Daily Mirror newspaper said.

Ms Zolfaghary had been on a low dosage contraceptive pill after giving birth to son Zachary seven months ago.

The Multiple Births Association said natural quads were rare as most were born to mothers on fertility treatment.

2. One of my girlfriends got pregnant even though she
was on the regular dose pill AND her husband used a condom. She adamantly did not want to get pregnant. But she went ahead and had the baby and was a good mother to her daughter, and everyone lived happily ever after. But I DO get tired of the pro-forced-birth crew who fuss, "You should have used birth control!" Guess what, birth control fails. And more often than you think.

3. Birth control fails more than people think
I got pregnant with my two boys after my birth controlled failed. First time was foam + condom, second time was the pill. It happens more than people think.

4. First time I got pregnant on the pill
Doctor said " You must have forgot one" No I didn't, I says.
Second time I got pregnant on the pill. Doctor says" Hmm. They must not work for you" Yeh, ya think? 25 yrs old and 4 kids. Even then I had to have my hubby sign a paper saying I could have my tubes tied.
Wouldn't trade my kids for anything.
