WATCH: The Gardners posted this video asking for prayers just a few hours before they welcomed their quadruplet daughters.

Ashley told CNN that the chance of her conceiving two sets of identical twins were 1 in 70 million.

A video posted to the family’s Facebook support page shows Tyson and Ashley a few hours before she gave birth by Caesarean section. They thank their fans for support and ask for prayer.

The babies were delivered 12 weeks earlier than expected after doctors discovered that Ashley had some ruptured membranes and continued to experience contractions growing in intensity.

Each of the four girls weighed around two pounds at birth and everyone is reportedly doing well.
