I was desperate for a girl but ended up pregnant with quads – now I have 7 kids and trolls accuse us of claim benefits

WHEN Ronjera and Carlos Abrahams, 33 and 34, began trying for their fourth baby, they were hoping to complete their family with a little girl. 

But what the childhood sweethearts never could’ve anticipated was that Ronjera would fall pregnant with quadruplets – and they were soon to become parents of SEVEN.

“We had been hoping and praying for a little girl for about eight years,” she said. “I love my boys dearly, but I truly wanted to know what it feels like to have a little girl.

“I surely did not expect quadruplets. The girls wear matching everything.”

Ronjera and Carlos met aged 17 and tied the knot young at aged 18, both in agreement that neither of them wanted a big family. 

They welcomed Carlos Jr, 14, Christian, eight, and Cameron, four – all homeschooled by Ronjera – before deciding to try one last time for a daughter.

The couple, from North Carolina, US, were informed at seven weeks that Ronjera was expecting triplets and spent the next month trying to process the news. 

Then, at the following scan, the doctors revealed that she was actually carrying four babies, leaving them dumbfounded. 

After hearing the news, Ronjera took a two-mile walk, crying the entire time.

However, it was Carlos’ compassionate and confident attitude towards the news that brought her comfort amidst the emotion overload.

The quadruplets, who are now five months old, are girls Ariyah and Aniyah, and boys Cayden and Carter.

“Going from three to seven was a huge change for us,” Ronjera told Truly.  “Day-to-day life is unpredictable but I try to at least have a schedule sometimes. 

“Right now, there isn’t a great balance but I just make it work with the time that I have.”

Ronjera has shared her journey of life as a mum-of-seven on social media and has carved out a career for herself as a content creator. 

However, trolls have accused her of having lots of children to receive benefits and government assistance. 

“I don’t take it personally at all,” she said. 

The mum-of-seven penned on Instagram about her experience carrying quadruplets: “Our beautiful babies made it to 31 weeks with no complications and no surgeries, and spent only 36 days in the NICU. 

“My pregnancy was the best pregnancy that I’ve ever experienced and I had a 100% healthy pregnancy with no complications. 

“I say all this to say going from being a family of five to nine was unexpected and scary.

“These are our miracle babies… We wouldn’t change it for the world. They have blessed our home tremendously.”
