Canadian newlyweds learn they're expecting identical quadruplet daughters
A newlywed couple in Alberta, Canada, were shocked to learn they are going to have identical quadruplets.
Bethani, 22, and Tim Webb, 23, exchanged vows in June and found out Bethani was pregnant in September.
Married for less than a year, the couple, who have no history of multiple births in the family, planned on slowly starting a family.

At Bethani's first ultrasound the doctor counted out all four babies (pictured) who will be named Abigail, McKayla, Grace and Emily
But nature had other plans and after Bethani became pregnant, she went in for an ultrasound and discover she was carrying four girls.
'She turned the screen and she started counting babies and she counted baby one, baby two, baby three - I was thinking "OK you can stop at baby three. Baby three is enough" - and she counted out the fourth baby.
'I'm definitely glad I was laying down because I could not believe that there were four there. I thought there had to be some kind of mistake… my husband almost fainted.
'He had to sit down for a moment,' Bethani told TODAY.

The couple married in June and by September they were expecting their four girls to be named Abigail, McKayla, Grace and Emily
The couple did not use fertility drugs or in vitro fertilization to conceive their children. Bethani will deliver the babies in the next few weeks.
'It was completely and totally natural. It was very spontaneous,' Bethani said.
Having quadruplets without the aid of fertility treatments is one in 729,000, Dr. James Bofill, a professor of maternal-fetal medicine at the University of Mississippi, told TODAY.
However, identical quadruplets like the Webb's, who will be named Abigail, McKayla, Grace and Emily, happen approximately every one in 15 million.
Bethani (pictured) is in the hospital now and has not had any complications with her pregnancy so far but says the babies are 'very, very active'
Bethani has had no complications in her pregnancy and doctors hope she will get to 32 weeks before the four babies are delivered via C-section.
She said the babies are very active and sometimes she feels two or three kick at a time.
Bethani added that while she is excited for the babies, the notion of how much they would need to care for them is overwhelming.
'I'm thinking we have no van, we have no car seats, we have no crib. I thought we were good just having one.
'Going from one to four is like four times everything. Four strollers, four car seats, Four cribs. Diapers. Diapers everywhere,' Bethani said.
The Webbs will use approximately 48 diapers a day once their daughters arrive.
A friend of the couple has started a GoFundMe page to help the Webbs finance their four new additions.
