How I gave birth to quadruplets after conflicting scan results from doctors - 50-year-old woman

Olushola Olonode, a 50-year-old woman from Lagos, Nigeria, has shared a remarkable testimony of giving birth to quadruplets after a pregnancy marked by conflicting medical reports.

“

I think I can see twins.

Olonode recounted her experience during a thanksgiving service at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Solid Rock Parish. After a long wait, she married in December 2023 and soon after conceived. Her pregnancy journey began with uncertainty when a doctor, Ibrahim, suggested she might be carrying twins. However, a subsequent scan by a different doctor indicated three babies.

He said, I think I’m seeing three. I said, no. Dr Ibrahim told me he saw two.

"He said, how many did I tell you I saw? I said, you said three," Olonode recalled of a later visit. "He said, I think I’m seeing four. I said four." This fluctuating diagnosis, coupled with a bleeding scare that made her fear losing one or more babies, led Olonode to stop attending scans, telling her husband, "I'm not coming back. Maybe I'll not see five."

He said, how many did I tell you I saw? I said, you said three. He said, I think I’m seeing four. I said four.

Despite the medical confusion, Olonode's faith prevailed. On March 6, 2026, she gave birth to two boys and two girls. She noted that the delivery occurred three weeks before her 50th birthday on March 31, 2026. Her testimony, shared via a YouTube clip by the church, concluded with profound gratitude for her life and the safe arrival of her children.

Maybe I’ll not see five. I’m serious. The first time, twins. The second time, three. The fourth time, so I refused to go back.
