Mathias Girls: The Identical Quadruplets
January 30, 2009Having quadruplets is very rare. Chances of having quadruplets in US with a population of 4 million is 1 out of 729,000 or about 6% of the population. It is a very risky birth because the mortality rate is high and that not all of the quads may survive.
To bear four identical quads is the rarest of them all. The probability is 1 out of 11,000,000. So when I learned about the identical mathias girls, I was really amazed. Take a look at them.
Emily, Grace, Anna and Mary Claire
The Mathias girls are born on February 16, 2000 and their parents are Allison and Steve Mathias from Lexington, South Carolina.
The quads became popular when they won $250,000.00 on America’s Funniest Home Videos. They already have guessed at Oprah and Jay Leno show. They were also featured in 3 episodes of a documentary show called “Super Quads” aired at Discovery Health Channel.
They are so cute and adorable. The girls will now turn 8 on February.

Wow, how amazing.
That is so freaky. I don’t think I could handle three other people looking exactly like me.
These girls are so happy, friendly and loving. Just a sweet website to visit.
I remember seeing them on AFV, they are the cutest.
So cute!Looking at recent pictures I am amazed. My best friend had 6 girls within 8 years and my mother always teased her that she should buy stock in the Kotex company. I can for see that will be a big need for these girls as well as orthodontic bills for braces, and if they are like the average girl – the bills for clothing will be phenomenal. Just think of the cost for 4 prom dress! Then there will be the cost of weddings! Hope they invested their winnings well!
this is a real blessing for these parents to have four beautiful young ladies.children are always blessings .
