Having a baby is one of the most amazing blessings that a woman can have. But imagine having not one, but four, all at the same time!

After experiencing multiple miscarriages and unsuccessful pregnancies, Lindsay Hay is now one happy mother and is beyond grateful and blessed to be a mother to four adorable babies.

According to Hay, she is still in awe of how great life is and she still could not believe her luck at becoming a mother to quadruplets. However, for Hay's doctors, they were not as eager as she is. Her doctors made her and her husband, Syman, to consider doing a selective pregnancy reduction.

With Hay's past pregnancy issues and miscarriages, it was hard for Hay to get pregnant. But when she knew she was having four all at once, she was also scared of what's going to happen.

Hay shared that it was very dull in the ultrasound room on the day she had her checkup. Hay was only 5-foot-2 and was only about 115 pounds when she had her first checkup and found out she was pregnant to quadruplets. Her doctors said her pregnancy will be risky because of her body size and that she would not be able to handle it. They were really serious about how dangerous it would be and even told her it was unsafe.

However, Hay proved her doctors wrong because now she has four amazing and beautiful children which she named Caiden Michael, Madison Grace, Lucas William, and Grayson James last July 23. When all four children were born, Hay and her husband needed to stay with the babies at the hospital still because of the breathing support, since Hay went into labor at 30 weeks. That 45-day stay in the NICU was very uneventful for Hay, but she never gave up on her children. According to her, her babies were strong enough to thrive through the breathing support and after 45 days, they were able to take them home safely and healthily.

Just last month, Hay shared on Instagram her photo of being pregnant with her quadruplets and photos of her with them weeks after they were born. The posted photo was her two photos edited side by side: one of which she was on her third trimester (left) and the other one her carrying her four adorable babies (right). Her post had over 67,000 likes on Instagram, where she captioned it on how amazed she was of herself and of a woman's body who can be able to carry four babies in 30 weeks and 4 days.

She also revealed how uncomfortable those weeks were for her, and how days were almost making her impossible to stand. With what her doctors told her the day she had her first checkup, she also doubted herself if she can handle it, considering she has miscarriages in the past before. But, despite all of that, Hay managed to keep the babies healthy and living and she was so happy she made it that far in the pregnancy. She also revealed that every time she sees her photo on Instagram, she is still in shock of how her little body managed to go through all of the stages of pregnancy.
