Four in a row for Hedland family

South Hedland's Kenlee Kelly is still deciding whether she should call for an inquiry into the state of drinking water in Spoonbill Crescent.

She said there had to be something strange in it after she and three of her nieces - who all live on Spoonbill Crescent - gave birth to sons and daughters within days and weeks of each other.

The "wonderful" drama started on May 30 this year, when Ms Kelly went into South Hedland hospital where she gave birth to daughter Gypsy.

Three hours later, her niece Keryn Kalzee also gave birth to a son called Zayne.

Ms Kelly said she was just down the hospital hallway from her niece.

"I went into hospital first and then a couple of hours later Keryn went in behind me," she said.

"So when I was nursing my baby, I heard her down the hallway crying and singing out."

However, delivering the first two babies safely was only the start of it.

Two days later, Ms Kelly's second niece, Kristy Ball, gave birth to son Jase, before her third niece, Briannan Tullock, finally gave birth to Jaleah three weeks later.

Ms Kelly said the close-knit women - extended members of Hedland's famous Lockyer family - had come to be known as the Spoonbill Gang due to each living across the road from each other.

"We don't need to worry about going to a mother's group because we have our own mother's group here in the street," she said.

"And we don't run across the road for sugar anymore, now it is for nappies."

Ms Kelly also said that while she suspected the drinking water, she had heard other reasons as to why the women became pregnant at the same time.

"It might have been a power shortage," she said.
