One in 700,000. They were the chances of Stacey Wright having her two sets of naturally conceived twins. But what were the chances that she could not only cope with them but make it look like a breeze? Angela Cole went to meet Maidstone's own supermum.


To say Stacey Wright has her hands full doesn’t really cover it. She literally does not have enough hands to cope with her brood of two sets of twins.

It takes a minor military operation to get her and her quartet out of the house, with two and a half-year-old twins Harry and Oscar, and 16-month-olds Annie and Eliza.

And there wasn’t a whiff of IVF involved with the production of both non-identical sets, as they were naturally conceived and born naturally, with just the basic gas and air for mum Stacey, 29.

To describe the onslaught of seeing double for her and partner Piotr Podolski, 28, as a surprise would be understating it, as twins – and even large families – do not run in either side of the family, as Stacey had one brother, who sadly died of cancer recently, and Piotr, from Poland, is an only child.

The couple had had a relatively short courtship before the first happy event happened. Harry and Oscar were born on April 19 2010, at 32 weeks , weighing 3lbs 13oz and 4lbs 7oz for Oscar, who is 27 minutes younger than his blue-eyed brother.

But when the two boys were 14 months old along came a bigger surprise.

Stacey says: “The girls were a Christmas present. I didn’t expect to have twins twice.

“I was happy but I was also really upset wondering how I was going to manage with four small babies.”

But she needn’t have worried. For a mum with four youngsters, she is very composed. Her house is tidy and uncluttered and both pairs of boys and girls are beautifully turned out in matching outfits.

“I dress them the same because it is easier,” she says. “It is easier for shopping; picking out outfits, and if I lose one - which obviously I don’t do - they’ll be easier to find!”
