The event that took place on June 24, 2016 was dubbed a medical sensation. A 37-year-old woman gave birth to quintuplets. Until that moment, she was an analytical engineer and was on leave to care for her 3-year-old daughter Alice.
Interest in the mother of quintuplets was so high that she decided to start an Instagram page where she honestly talks about herself, shares life hacks and, of course, publishes photos of the kids.
Everything was like everyone else: a bare stomach, gel and a sensor. But when the doctor started looking at the screen, her face changed a lot, and she was seriously scared. She remembers how she began to count the number of future babies.
Doctors immediately said that if they weigh more than 900 g, then they will actually come out. No one gave clear forecasts; they just grabbed their heads, how much equipment is needed: for some reason, babies’ intensive care in the city maternity hospital is not designed for so many children at the same time.
Thanks to three doctors, the children appeared in just a couple of minutes: Denis, Daria, Vlad, Alexander and David.
Since the case is unique, it was noticed by the city authorities: they received a 5-room apartment. At birth, the mayor established a fund for their family, and they are slowly mastering it.
By 6 months, they had 6 meals a day, a clear daytime walk and a nighttime sleep when they all sleep together.
Six months after the birth, the husband literally packed and took his things out of the apartment and even from the house in the country, literally in a day, without crossing their threshold again. Before that, so many nuances had accumulated that she was going to file for divorce.
Anyway life is going on and the woman overcame everything with her relatives.
She confesses that she is very ashamed as she confuses her own children; “Girls are very difficult to distinguish. The eldest daughter Alice did not seem to be confused at first, until she was asked. She admitted that she calls them whatever she likes.”
