pregnant mother is set to become the youngest woman in Britain to give birth to two sets of twins - aged just 21.
Annie Gladstone had her first pair four years ago and will now make the record books after falling pregnant with another set.
Miss Gladstone and fiance Rich Porter, 26, conceived naturally but said they cannot understand their fertility as neither of their families has a history of twins.
The full-time mother, who turns 22 at the end of September, will become the youngest woman in Britain to have two sets of twins when they arrive on or around September 11.
Royal College of Midwives says it has not heard of anyone in the UK having two sets of twins at such an early age.
Miss Gladstone said: 'When the nurse told us we were shocked. You could have heard a pin drop.
'It took about a minute for me to begin breathing, and Rich’s face went so pale.
'But after the initial shock, of course we are delighted. We’ve been told we’re having girls, so Rich and Jayden are definitely about to get very outnumbered at home.
'They say your second baby is easier to cope with than your first, but since our first and second came at the same time, we’re hoping babies three and four are a breeze.
'As far as I know, I’m the youngest mum in Britain to have two sets of twins. I’m delighted.'
Miss Gladstone said she always wanted another baby after Lillie and Jayden were born in April 2011 so was delighted when she realised in January she was pregnant again.
But the couple's joy turned to shock when they were told at their 12-week scan that they were expecting two new arrivals.
