世界首例同卵四胞胎姐妹 將開啓校園之旅

QUADRUPLET girls who made medical history when they were born from the same embryo are celebrating another milestone in their lives as they start nursery.
世界首例同卵四胞胎女嬰創造了醫學史上的記錄，現在她們正在迎接人生中的另一個里程碑——幼兒園。

Darcy, Caroline, Elisha and Alexis Clark - thought to be the first quads in the world born this way.
達茜、卡羅琳、伊莉莎和阿麗克西斯，克拉克一家的這四個孩子是公認的世界首例同卵四胞胎嬰兒。

Proud parents Justin and Christine Clark had been trying for a baby for nine years before getting success through their first round of IVF.
四個萌娃驕傲的爸媽賈斯汀·克拉克和克里斯汀·克拉克爲生孩子努力了九年，最後終於通過第一輪試管受精成功懷孕。

The youngsters - now 14-months-old - will be attending nursery at Busy Bees in the grounds of the Rotherham Hospital, where they were cared for following their birth at Sheffield's Jessop Hospital on March 25 last year.
小寶寶們現在14個月大，她們將去羅瑟勒姆醫院的小蜜蜂幼兒園上學。

Lorry driver Justin, 44, of Rotherham, said: "The girls all really enjoyed the first half day at the nursery and it will be so exciting when they start there full-time.
44歲的賈斯汀來自羅瑟勒姆市，他是一名卡車司機。賈斯汀說：“小寶貝們第一天上幼兒園很開心，所以當她們正式全天上幼兒園時將會很激動人心。”

"They were good as gold, as we knew they would be.
“對我們來說，她們就像金子一般珍貴。因爲我們知道，她們會很棒的。”

"These girls were ten weeks premature and so any milestone for them is huge for us. We are just so proud."
“寶寶們早產10周，所以她們人生中的任何一個里程碑對我們來說都意義重大。我們非常驕傲。”

Helen Smith, nursery manager at Busy Bees, said: "We are happy to be welcoming the gorgeous sisters at the nursery."
海倫·史密斯是小蜜蜂幼兒園的經理，她說：“我們非常高興，歡迎可愛的四姐妹就讀我們幼兒園。”

At 24 weeks, Mrs Clark was taken into hospital with breathlessness, but doctors managed to keep the pregnancy under control until week 30, when the girls were born by Caesarean section.
懷孕24周的時候，克拉克夫人出現了嚴重的孕婦症狀、隨後被帶到了醫院，醫生努力使這位特殊孕婦的身體狀況保持平穩，直到第30周的時候寶寶們通過剖腹產出生了。

Justin said: "It was a very emotional time for us as we'd been trying for nine years to have one child and had no luck." Christine, 37, said previously: "When we found out we were having four babies, I just couldn't believe it. I was speechless and to be honest, I didn't believe it until I saw them for myself."
賈斯汀說：“這一刻對我們一家人來說十分激動人心，因爲我們已經努力了九年，只是想要一個孩子，但就是一直運氣不好。” 37歲的克里斯汀此前曾說，“當我們發現我們有了四個寶寶的時候，我簡直無法相信！當時驚得說不出話來，說實話直到孩子出生親眼看到我才真正相信我們是真的有了四個寶寶。”
