Two sets of twins were planned, while the other two came as surprises. All babies were healthy, though one was sent to the NICU for observation of possible low blood sugar.

Martin Chavez, MD, chief of maternal fetal medicine at NYU Winthrop, said he and other hospital staffers could not believe the coincidence.

“I asked, were the babies texting, trying to coordinate this? Was this a group effort?” Dr. Chavez told Newsday.
