Australian mother Kim Tucci who gave birth to
quintuplets on January 28, 2016, just shy of 30
weeks, released a photo shoot of her surprise
newborns.
According to BBC, 26-year-old mother took just
two minutes to give birth to her four daughters
and one son, who were conceived naturally. A
team of 50 doctors and nurses assisted with the
planned caesarean and all of the children were born healthy
Names:
.. Tiffany weight 1170g
.. Penelope weight 1160g
.. Beatrix weight 1210g
.. Allie weight 1200g
.. Keith weight 1269g
Mrs Tucci's story gained prominence through
her Facebook page, Surprised by Five, where she
recorded the details of her pregnancy. Family
photographer, Erin Elizabeth who helped
document Mrs Tucci's pregnancy, organised the
quintuplets' photo shoot.
"50 fingers 50 toes, 6 hearts beating at once. My
body fought the toughest of battles to get five
babies here safely," Mrs Tucci wrote when she
posted the photos.
"Everything I did I did for them."
In an interview with Australian current affairs
program 60 Minutes in April, Mrs Tucci said she
felt like her body was "shutting down" during the
pregnancy and that doctors originally offered her
the choice of saving two of the babies while
terminating the others, due to serious health
risks to both her and the unborn children
.
"No-one thought I could do it, and I did, I
showed everyone in my life," Mrs Tucci told 60
Minutes. She and her husband Vaughn already
have a nine-year-old son and daughters aged
two and four.
