It was worth the wait! The couple, who for five years tried to conceive a third child, are awaiting five babies at once. Doctors 33-year-old Jamie Scott, who became pregnant after taking medications for the treatment of infertility, found too high levels of hormones in the blood of a woman, which could indicate a multiple pregnancy.
Jamie and her husband Skyler thought about giving birth to twins. But an ultrasound scan showed five embryos - one chance in 55 million pregnancies. The Daily Mail... Children should be born at the end of April. Their birth is also eagerly awaited by two older brothers - 12-year-old Shaden and 7-year-old Landon.
In the photo taken in 19 weeks, Jamie looked like she was already in the ninth month. Her stomach is very heavy and the woman can barely walk. Doctors say she needs to gain 100 pounds, and to feed five small mouths, she has to eat 4000 calories every day. Jamie literally gorges himself on hamburgers, pizzas and milkshakes, dreaming of a cucumber salad.
Despite the difficulties that await in front of the parents of such a number of children, both say they feel blessed from above. Here is what the expectant mother says:
“On the ultrasound, I expected to see one or two babies, but only in the first 20 minutes we found four, and then the fifth. I cried, I was delighted. The very fact that I got pregnant was amazing. ”
The future father asked if all the children were alive, and everyone was listened to with a special sensor that detects a heartbeat. After that, the parents breathed a sigh of relief. With previous pregnancies, Jamie suffered from hyperemesis gravidarumwhich causes severe morning nausea and weight loss (Kate Middleton has the same problem). But this time nothing like this happened.
However, multiple pregnancies have their difficulties: it is very difficult to walk and it is painful to eat too much, while doctors require it. Also, Jamie is awkward to sleep.
“When one moves, everyone moves - it’s like a party in your belly,” the woman admits.
Jamie and Skyler say that their local community rallied to support the spouses, and neighbors and friends donated children's clothing and accessories. The couple is currently in a hospital in Arizona, where a multiple birth expert is about to receive babies by caesarean section in late April.
