3 of woman’s quadruplets are identical

TOWSON, Md. (AP) — A mother has given birth to a rare set of quadruplets in which three of the four boys are identical.

The boys were born 11 weeks premature in January at Greater Baltimore Medical Center in Towson.

Two embryos were implanted into the mother, and both were fertilized, hospital spokesman Michael Schwartzberg said. One of them split, then split again, creating the identical triplets.

The boys were delivered by Caesarean section Jan. 29. Joshua Drew was born first, then Gavin Michael, Cody Benjamin and fnally Logan Christopher, the nonidentical one.
