In what is being described as a rare and remarkable pregnancy, an Ohio woman has given birth to two sets of identical twins without any use of fertility drugs.

The parents, Lindsay Lowrie and her beau Kenny Carr of Fairview Park, had decided to have four children eventually, but had never imagined that they would have all four within two minutes, the New York Daily News reported.

Lowrie told local station WKYC that it is a blessing and she loves them all equally and couldn't ask for anything different.

Carr said that both of them started crying and it was probably the happiest moment of his life.

The four boys, who were due on July 10, were born via Cesarean section at just 28 weeks on April 18 and none of them weighed over 21/2 pounds.

The couple will not be able to take them home until late July, as the premature babies still require intense medical attention.
