A Mississippi couple who suffered two miscarriages are shocked to learn they are expecting QUINTUPLES after IUI fertility treatment: they will have four girls and one boy
- The jubilant couple, Shawn and Haylee Ladner, are five months pregnant.
- They’ve already chosen names for their babies: Adalyn Elizabeth, Magnolia Mae, Malley Kate, Everleigh Rose and their son, Jake Easton.
- Haylee said: ‘One split four times and did identical quads and the other did the singleton’
- The odds of conceiving quintuplets naturally are one in 60 million. With reproductive technology, that chance increases to six in 10,000, according to one report.

A Mississippi couple who suffered two miscarriages were thrilled to be told they were expecting quintuplets, five babies, after undergoing IUI fertility treatments.
Shawn and Haylee Ladner said they always wanted a large family with lots of children, but they had no idea that their large family would be all at once.
Haylee said that when she got pregnant, she noticed her pregnancy hormone levels were “super, super high,” but thought she was probably having “twins,” especially since they had already had two eggs.
But when the doctor told them they were expecting not two, but five babies, the parents-to-be were left speechless and stunned.
‘There are five? Haylee asked again. ‘How is this possible?’
Shawn told the doctor to ‘Count again’. Be sure and recount.’ But indeed, the doctor was right.
Shawn and Haylee are 20 weeks pregnant and their names were chosen: Adalyn Elizabeth, Magnolia Mae, Malley Kate, Everleigh Rose and their son, Jake Easton.
Haylee posted a video on her Facebook page on October 10, 2022 with the caption: Here’s the video of our little worms moving! We are almost 10 weeks now! Just to give you an idea, we had two mature follicles with our IUI. One of those follicles divided 4 times and created identical quadruplets while the other ovum formed our ‘twin’ in its own separate gestation.
The couple who are almost five months pregnant -20 weeks- already know the sex of their babies – four girls and one boy – and have already chosen their names.
Her new brood will be named Adalyn Elizabeth, Magnolia Mae, Malley Kate, Everleigh Rose, and her son, Jake Easton.
The excited mom-to-be said: “One split four times and did identical quads and the other did the singleton.”
The couple who married in 2019 knew they wanted a large family with at least four children, said Haylee, who is a high school teacher at Oak Grove Middle School.
But after Haylee suffered two miscarriages, she was terrified that she wouldn’t be able to conceive. She then turned to intrauterine insemination (IUI), to help them get pregnant.
The procedure is a type of artificial insemination that involves the placement of sperm in the uterus around the time that an ovary releases one or more eggs.
“It’s the biggest blessing of my entire life because I didn’t think it would be me,” Haylee said. wlbt News
“I felt like I wouldn’t even be able to have one or that I would be lucky to have one.”

The odds of conceiving quintuplets naturally are one in 60 million. With reproductive technology, that chance increases to six in 10,000, according to one report.
Shawn said, “I don’t know if you’re fully prepared for five kids, that’s a lot, but we’re doing our best.”
When asked if they planned to have any more kids after their five bundles of joy arrived, the dad-to-be quipped, “Definitely not… five is enough.”
