2 pairs of twins

As the ultrasound scanner picked up two tiny ­heartbeats, Julie Dalgetty’s face broke into a huge smile. Husband Stuart let out a burst of laughter before the tears began to fall and he slumped over and started hyperventilating. It is, perhaps, an understandable reaction for any dad-to-be who has just discovered he is going to have twins. But for Stuart and Julie, it was a doubly big shock.

After seven years of heartbreak and IVF costing thousands of pounds, the couple finally had the twin babies they were desperate for. But beating odds almost as high as a lottery jackpot, doctors had just told the couple they were having another set of twins – naturally. And Julie conceived just 10 months after giving birth to the first set.
 
Now the family’s home in Whitley Bay, Tyneside, is in cheerful chaos as she and Stuart, 39, cope with nine-month-olds Molly and Nell, and Lily and Daisy, two.
