An Australian family has gone from three members to seven in a matter of minutes, with the arrival of quadruplets.
Amber, Amon, Amy and Amana were delivered by mum Belinda Lotsu at King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH) at 32 weeks and three days on Tuesday.

“Lots of planning went into the birth of the babies so we have complex care teams, maternal fetal medicine teams, all our multi-disciplinary teams come together,” KEMH nurse and midwifery coordinator Jourdin Ross said.
Two-year-old Carl is now adjusting to life with three little sisters and a younger brother.
And their mum and dad are getting their heads around the fact they have five children under three years of age.
“The first one came at 16 minutes past 10am and the fourth one came at 20 minutes past 10,” dad Emmanuel said.
Married 16 years, Belinda and Emmanuel struggled to conceive for many of them.
Turning to IVF they transferred two embryos, which turned into four healthy babies.
They were initially told they were having triplets, until they went for another scan at 23 weeks.
“I told the doctor it was not true,” Belinda said.
Quadruplets are extremely rare, with just 14 sets born here at King Edward in its 110-year history.
The last time was in 2020.
The Lotsu family are now playing the waiting game, with the siblings to spend the next few weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit before heading home to Kalgoorlie.
