Sextuplets: Our Multiple Birth Medical Journey | Real Stories Full-Length Documentary 

As a cancer survivor myself....I am so happy to know this mom survived. Prayers for the baby

My tears are rolling hotly down my face. As a mother of over-term twiins, I had the perfect experience, I got to take them home with me two days after a natural birth. This family has been through horrors that I cannot imagine. Bless them all.

This mother is the best mom for these babies. So sweet, nurturing, patient, and perfect for them. Mothering just comes naturally to this woman. God bless this family ❤️

I really like this couple. They both have so much empathy and you can see how grief stricken they are after losing the 2 babies, especially the mum. Watching this makes me homesick even though I have lived in the U.S. for 37 years now. Awww Grace is a sweet heart holding her siblings. ❤

I felt so bad for the mom in the beginning ! you could tell she was under so much stress and so worried about the babies, what a strong woman! Such a beautiful family

Can't imagine the anguish of deciding to have a reduction of fetuses. Get rid of a baby to give the others a better chance. No one should judge a parent forced to make it. Glad they tried for all six. RIP to Mattew and Pippa, and best wishes to this family.

The father is a big example of how patient us men should be

All babies should be loved as much as these precious ones. Wonderful mommy and daddy.

That feeling of holding your new baby brother or sister for the first time is amazing! Grace is going to be a great big sister!

I know that this is over 5-6 years now,..but, if these parents see this comment,..I hope and pray that they are doing well today with their family. I loved how compassionate and wonderful that you both are in life. Such loving and caring parents that any baby should/would want to be born into. I can’t even begin to imagine how worrisome and busy this part of your lives were at this time. At first I felt so sorry for you both (well I am sorry for the loss of two babies),.. but as I began to see it,….this particular and unusual situation brings more closeness within a marriage,..with family as well. God Bless your beautiful family and hope you all are doing well in life.❤️

It’s brilliant you nursed them after so many weeks! Bravo mama! I’m sorry Matthew and Pippa passed away, we lost a son early too. ❤️🙏🏼

The parents remind me of Gavin and Stacey! So nice to see parents on the same wavelength. No egos, just caring. Everyone gets crabby when they are tired. So glad they are aware of Graces needs. So often the ‘normal child’ is forgotten (unintentionally)

“Daddy’s gonna have to be more patient [when the kids become teenagers] and I’ll need to maybe chill out a bit”…. This man would cease to exist if he became any more patient 😂. I love that they make the quality time for the older girl cause it would be such a job to make sure she didn’t feel forgotten in the hustle and bustle of life with the babies 🥹 good on them

I can't stop crying. Omg. 😭 May God bless them all. ❤️ I wish we could have an update on them 8 years on.

I am so very sorry for the losses of Matthew and Pipper. But so glad that your remaining 4 babies lived! I am so happy for you and your husband! Congratulations!! May God bless you all!

Moms tears made me cry so much, love when she told dad to listen to her about holding them.

These lovely young people are such good parents! Their willingness to give all they’ve got to having a family is heartwarming. God bless them all.

*I believe in this life we are only given what we can handle.* What a precious family! RIP Pippa and Matthew 💜

The parents are just wonderful people. I admire the way they handle everything! What a lovely family 😊

Eric now has four sisters, poor little guy. Lol. Great job by mom and dad. Mom is so organized, the only way to be with 4 babies. Dad is super. I don't know how he goes to work with such little amount of sleep and mom carries on in the day with little sleep. RIP Matthew and Pippa. You are loved and missed!

Glad the Dr. explained exactly what reducing the pregnancy is

As a quadruplet this was really hard to watch to see some of the things my own parents had to go through, I feel myself tearing up

I have a great niece who was due around the end of November but was born Aug. 13th. She weighed 1 lb. 6 ozs. and was 14" long. Her head was the size of a tennis ball. The doctors told her parents she would be a vegetable...never walk, talk, hold her head up, she'd be blind, deaf, unable to speak. She turns 24 this Aug. She has slight cerebral palsy and wears glasses (as do lots of us in the family) but otherwise she proved all the naysayers wrong. She's our miracle girl. FWIW, her father (my nephew) is the one who made me an aunt for the first time. That seems like forever ago. lol

This is such a beautiful testament to the world of how to love and raise a family. These parents are absolutely amazing with the love for each child and each other. Daddy is a great role model and mommy so devoted to her love of him and they just click like brick. It's really a match made in heaven. Sweet big sister, so well adjusted isn't worried about the babies getting more attention since they have come into her life. I am so saddened that two sweet souls didn't have a fighting chance to stay in the world. I pray for them and know they'll all be together for it is written. God Bless and keep them all

That poor woman woman has been through it. As a mom, it breaks my heart to see her grieve.

It's so nice to see such happy parents no matter how many babies they have. They are so grateful it's excellent bless them xx

those babies have more bravery at 3 weeks old than I have at 12. you keep fighting mom and dad, god with take care of you and your babies.

Watching this brought back so many memories for me. I had twins born at 28 weeks and they are now an amazing 22 yrs old.. Mine both had huge brain bleeds and I was told they would never amount to anything and here we are all this time later and they are amazing! I wish this family all the luck in the world such fun and happy times to be had by all 💕❤️💕. I'm almost at the end and am sobbing happy tears for this beautiful family 😇😍💕😍😇

Nati, just remember that no one is allowed an opinion without being attacked and called a monster. get over yourselves people. An opinion is just that, an opinion.

I feel bad for the poor babies... it's hard on them...They told my mother to get me baptized too when I was born, but because I WAS going to die, stayed in an incubator for 3 months....my mom said I was a mad baby, and I guess I cried a lot .....I'm only telling this story to give parents more hope that the baby can survive

R.I.P Pippa and Matthew

These kids are such cuties- 3 have bright ginger hair now! Poor family's house caught fire a year or so ago.... I admire their resilience.

What a heartbreaking yet inspiring story. I hope everything goes well for them moving forward.

What a great couple! Wish them a wonderful life.

Matthew and Pippa are now watching over their siblings. Those little angels will help protect the other little babies. May Matthew and Pippa rest in peace.

The mom is so cute!! "you have to listen to me when I tell you to hold them correctly" awwww!!! that broke my little heart!

I hope their relationship survived all the emotional upheaval. It can't have been easy.

I would sincerely volunteer to help this Mom with her beautiful babies...Im sure she will appreciate it we know it can get too much at times. May God bless you and your family. Sending love and light.

Just looked them up online to see how they were getting on. Poor Rose ended up with cerebral palsy but they are all doing well. They started primary school last year and are thriving

I hope this family is very well now! God bless the children and parents!

So sad, what a lovely family. What a patient husband.

I know that losing a parent is hard but losing a child must be unimaginable 💙💔💜

I feel this so much. I had 2 boys that were 6 weeks apart in conception. One brandies down for weeks. He was given his last rights. I was terrified. I know the fear. Luckily he came home and thrived. I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s a hard road. God bless.

I'm crying so much right now. Stay strong. RIP Pippa and Matthew

What a lovely couple. It was heartbreaking to see them lose the two babies. Those babies are going to be excessively good looking. Both parents are very attractive.

What a great couple. This is the kind of couple needed for a job with this many babies at once. I really felt for the mother every time she would break down and cry. For those unfamiliar with postpartum the first year is really difficult. It comes out in women in many different ways. It’s not always a depression, but there is a sense that something is missing inside and the hormones also seem go a bit crazy as they return to normal. I truly cannot imagine how unbelievably difficult it would be to handle that postpartum and lose two little babies. This woman who may look weak when she cries is entirely the opposite her strength is going to be the pillar of that family.

I love this story. But it also breaks my heart. I'd love to see an update on the lamb family.

wow crazy! I was watching this with my daughter Grace and my name is Vicky and I have polycystic ovaries! I called her Grace because she was a miracle, I wasn't meant to be able to have children!

I adore this couple. The babies are so perfect and beautiful! This brought me to tests and made me smile so many times. What's a doc!

this couple deserves the world 🌎❤️

wow what a strong couple

The babies are beautiful like their lovely parents and gorgeous sister! This family is so nice, and so focused on their children. It is a joy to watch them.! And Gracie is beautiful.

I'm really happy that they have little Grace to help with her baby sisters, and little brother. I'm very sorry for the lost of the babies that didn't make it. God bless to this sweet family.may God bless you. Catt.🐈 Texas

My goodness those babies are the most precious babies ever

My firstborn had colic which I now believe comes from being a first time mom and I felt as overwhelmed as Vicky. She should be so very proud of how she is managing. No bigger job exists than raising a child! She's amazing to say the least! God Bless her! I just want to hug her.

What a great family !!! Strong couple with beautiful children. Keep up the great work.

Pippa and Matthew were brave, they fought, but it seems like it is not meant to be. I wish them well the 4 babies that survived and the family.

this is just amazing.. God bless the mom.. she is incredibly strong to go thru that many emotions of extreme grief and happiness sometimes all at the same time..hats off to you babe... I dont have words to describe your strength.. God bless you all and trust me God will take care of you all because you never gave up on your babies..

I'm amazed at how Vicky is coping with 4 kids! Wow....I certainly would not be looking so great. Congrats!

I'm a big guy. With that said, this reduces me to a big softie. I just want to hug them all!!😊

What a strong family I cried throughout 😢

A beautiful family. Just realized they are now possibly 10. Wish them all the very very best

so much respect for these parents! 💗

I just realized at one point they had 2 in heaven, 2 at hospital and 2 at home.

Thank you so much for uploading so many amazing documentaries!

I love that in England, the responses to "there's four of them" are "Oh, well done!" In America, there are an unfortunately large number who would be saying things like, "Why did you have that many?" Good for England!

You've been through so much. Love and prayers always for you both, Grace, and your family.❤

What a lovely husband and father !

it would be great to have a follow up documentary now that the kids are like 6 or 5 :) i hooe the family are doing good

I have twins & had an exercise book on the dining table to keep a record of what each had to drink & when. It initially sounded a lot but wasn't. It was a great recommendation & I was able to tell the doctor's of their progress with ease.

So strange, after watching 3/4 of this documentary when I saw their van I recognised them, when they used to pick the older daughter up from school, whilst I was being picked up from a school nearby. Small world.

How she managed to successful give birth is still amazing to me. Higher order pregnancies are almost always preterm. Many times premature labor is a result of preterm premature rupture of the membranes (PPROM). PPROM is rupture of the membranes prior to the onset of labor in a patient who is less than 37 weeks of gestation. They are at increased risk for having long-term problems such as mental retardation, cerebral palsy, vision loss, and hearing loss. Frequent prenatal care increases the chance of detecting and treating preeclampsia. Adequate prenatal care also decreases the risk of developing a serious problem from preeclampsia for both the babies and the mother. If you are pregnant with multiples it does not necessarily mean that you will have a cesarean birth. The typical recommendation for the delivery of triplets and higher order multiples is a cesarean, but twins are often delivered vaginally. Like in my case. My surrogate in Bio tex delivered twins vaginally with no problems at all.

Brought a eye to my eyes watching this programme. What a lovely family. Wish them all the luck in the world. Make lots of Memories with your babies.

I started crying when i found out Matthew and Pippa died

My older son was due November 29th 2002 but arrived August 21st 2002 and my second son was due April 1st 2009 but arrived December 23rd 2008. And both are strong and smart and awesome. The doctors don't know why I can't carry full term and I should have been a high risk pregnancy after my first son but my circumstances were very scary the first time, not my doing, but they thought the second time would be much better but sure enough my water broke in the middle of the night and my boy was here. It's amazing to watch them grow outside my tummy!

They did not have IVF. The mom took Clomid. Nothing wrong with that. It resulted in one live baby for the same couple before.

My stepson was born at 21 weeks. Was the size of a dollar bill.. Had 2 brain bleeds and wound up with cerebral palsy with left side hemi paresis. He turns 23 this year.

vicky is such an amazing lady. very inspiring story

Beautiful parents....may our lord Jesus Christ bless this family abundantly Amen.

20:55--What an amazing couple. The dad looks like Maynard from Tool. So sorry for their losses. His wife is right; there is no lower you can go than to lose a child

Thank God Eric survived. I feel for him though having to be surrounded with all those splits. Poor Mathew, it’s terrible he passed 😞

I remember losing my first baby in 1980. I feel it like it was yesterday. I was 9 weeks along and was so excited.i lived 1200 miles away from home. I had called "home" and told everyone. The, a few days later, I started spotting. I immediately went to see my dr. He informed me in cold unfeeling tone that I was miscarrying! When I started crying, he said"Good god woman, you can have more!" I ran out of his office and drove and drove. I didn't know where to go. I knew my mother-in-law because she had gotten angry when wI told her that I was pregnant. I stopped at the house at one of the few people that I had come to know since I had moved from my home in TN to NJ! She was so very kind person. She comforted me in this few hours that desperately needed . I got pregnant again within a few months. I was excited, but I was so scared that I went to 6 different places for urine tests. One place, unbeknownst to me was a place for the business of talking people . They literately "kept" me. I was forced to was horrific films. It made me so sick that I started vomiting right there on their carpet. I kept telling them I would never have an abortion! They finally let me go. It was dark and I didn't know my way home in the dark!!! I finally made it home, but my husband at the time was just angry that I had held up dinner. His mother, whom we had to live with, (not what was to happen when I moved up there) had made oxtail soup. I was so angry that they were so uncaring that I might have come to any sort of harm, not knowing my way around; that I screamed back at them that I didn't eat anything that swatted flies! Sadly, I lost that baby, too. The since of loss was so terrible! No one cared. I believe the term "rainbow baby" applies to the fact that after those two miscarriages, the loss of my babies; I got pregnant again and carried this one to term. Many people call these babies, rainbow babies. I lost two before I finally had my girl, beautiful and pink! But, I now know that the Bible promises a resurrection. For many years I was told that because my babies had never took it's first breath, that the resurrection didn't apply. I kept my feeling that to Jehovah "all life" is precious to Him. With him there is nothing to great for him. Psalm 139:16 says of these precious lives that are cut short to soon. Your eyes even saw me as an embryo; All its parts were written in your book Regarding the days when they were formed, Before any of them existed. Jehovah sees our precious babies and there is nothing to hard for him to do. God does not need angels. In fact, all the angels were created long before man was created. God remembers my babies. He can and he will, I believe with all my heart, with knowledge to back it up, I will have my babies back! Other promises that back this up and other scriptures that show what is in store, in the near future, wonderful things to come. I, along with my husband of 31 years come the 29th of this month, eagerly await these promises. And even though those two babies were not biologically his, just as he raised the three other children that I had.

RIP Matthew and Pippa they are such a strong family and are so brave they are amazing god blessed them

❤️RIP Matthew and Pippa❤️

I should love to see an update on this beautiful family!

I hope that this lovely family is doing well, What fantastic parents and a great big sister

WOW what an amazing mother she really has no help and makes it look so easy and the father he's working and helping most parents have a hard time with one baby

The first set of sextuplets to survive in the world were the Walton Sextupleys , born in Liverpool ,England ,about 30 years ago.They all survived . Their parents knocked 2 houses into one , to make one large house. Some are married and some are not .They are all girls.Septuplets were born to a Baptist family in The USA

The five year old is adorable! Wishing the family my best. ❤️✨

The sorrow must have been agonizing , I can't imagine !

God bless you I'm so very sorry for the loss of Pippa and Matthew I have a Matthew Sean he's 24 years old , you 2 and are wonderful parents and it truly warms my heart and I understand in situations like this these tragic unfair things can happen with premie births but you good people definitely didn't deserve this and you wonder why didn't it have to be 😢 your sweet little babies will always be with you ❤️ may your children have long healthy lives love Desiree Sorenson from Boone Iowa United States..

My son was the size of pippa at birth just 1 pound 5 ounces born 24 weeks 1 day he had a long 6 mth stay alot of ups n downs the first few weeks were very critical really the first couple mths he went through surgeries loads of transfusions a grade 4 brain bleed . Hes way behind in debelopment but hes still here hes getting followed closely r.i.p. pippa n matthew youll always be remembered by your sisters n brother mummy n daddy n all your family n nicu staff may you grow up healthy n happy ❤💜❤💜

They are such a lovely family - well done. When I was having twins although it was wonderful I was very aware, as that doctor, said that even with twins there is a much increased risk of prematurity and disabilities so multiples are not always a blessing. However mine were born later than any of my children at exactly 40 weeks to the day and naturally. Very rare for twins. I was so pleased. This programme is good also because people just hear the happy stories but in fact a lot of multiples do not make it as here so it is realism. Good luck to them all.
