How would you feel?

I read an article about a lady who had natural triplets, in addition to her first two "singlets". So that's a possibility, I guess!
I'd probably go into a deep depression, but try to crawl out so that I could get our house in order before I had to go on bedrest.
I mean, you can reject some gifts in life, but I would find it very hard to reject babies. It's not *their* fault that they came too many to the batch! I'm lucky that I'm in a stable marriage, and have a stable financial situation, so I don't have to consider abortion. I feel sure that my husband and I would make the best of it -- (-: maybe we'd have to go back to nature and make the kids work in the garden to help with the grocery bills, but I suppose that would be educational in itself.
If nature made it impossible to carry them all to full term, then I'd accept it.
I don't think I'd ever, ever resort to fertility drugs for a third child. Two is enough, and if the condom breaks, well, we have room for one more (or two more or YIKES four more???). But I can see how some parents would to for the IVF and all that.
I don't want to be judgemental.

If the quads are natural I'd just suck it up and prepare for the additions to my family. I personally, don't want a family that large, but I would take it if that's what I was given. If they're the result of fertility drugs well then I know I screwed us over financially.

I would be happy. I think a large family is great, and although having quads would have not been what I was expecting, having 4 babies to love would make it all worth it.

A bit overwhelmed, but there is a risk of multiples anytime, esepcially if you've had more kids or are using fertility meds. I'd be surprised and shocked, but I'd deal with it. That's life. Four of them, in fact!

It would be very exciting and quads are unique. My sister-in-law had trouble getting pregnant and nearly gave up then she had twins

Overwhelmed. Very overwhelmed.

I wouldn't have been "trying" so hard that I just HAD to take fertility drugs.
