multiples are a lot of work! just a newborn alone is overwhelming try that times 6!!!holy crap! and the money it will cost.I think they are just in shock but then come to learn it’s a blessing just like every child.
because with multiple pregnancies you will most likely lose one or more child if not all of them and they will more than likely be very premature it is not a good thing but i’m sure i would cry but be very worried
I probably would have sobbed as well. You set yourself up for having one child and you imagine that healthy baby. Then you go in and not only at you having multiples but mass amounts of them! That not only makes you think of the financial burden, but how risky the entire pregnancy will be.
Yeah they wanted kids, but do you realize the struggles with having that many kids? Physically, emotionally and financially? I really dont think they were planning on that many kids, espacially at once. If I found out I was having twins I would be stressed…anything more then that and I would be crying too.
Multiple births are risky . . . statistically many births of quintuplets or more end up being delivered early, having lifetime mental and physical disabilities and many end up dying either before birth or shortly after. I remember reading somewhere that Kate was actually pregnant with 7 but one did not make it.
Whenever you have struggled to conceive, you are THRILLED to be pregnant – but it can also be an overwhelming experience. When you find out that it is multiples you start to worry about their health, your health, how you will be able to provide for them etc . . .
I believe that you go through both – moments of feeling absolutely blessed and moments of terror that you will not be able to do this. I only had twins and it was a very up and down experience! Pregnancy hormones can make you crazy and it is even worse when you have more than one.
The chances of survival is low. Most higher order pregnancies end in miscarriage or birth before 24 weeks and thus death. You only hear about the successes. There are many failures. That is why so many patients choose to abort some of the fetuses so that some survive.
Kate was able to carry her babies longer because she had a prior pregnancy.
Being pregnant with that many babies is extremely high risk. Most women will lose all of the babies or at least many of them. If they are able to carry them to viability, they are born extremely premature and often face life-long chronic disabilities. Not to mention it is actually dangerous to the mother’s health to physically carry that many babies. Women have gone into cardiac failure, renal failure, liver failure, etc., and women have died.
If the woman and babies survive the birth and all make it home, then it’s the sheer overwhelming nature of raising 4+ babies. The financial burden, the emotional stress, the lack of sleep, etc.
Having multiples, especially high-order multiples is really not a happy diagnosis.
i would cry too! multiples of that many are VERY hard to take care of and hard to afford no matter how good of a job you have got! lets say that 1 newborn wakes you up 3 times a night, immagine 6 newborns waking up all together 3 times a night! or all at different times! it would be VERY hard.
um DUH! Have you ever watched Jon & Kate plus 8? Geeezz.
Its like double or triple the things well trying just to take care of one baby you have 2 or 3 baby’s just a lot of work and more money.
Because while they want children that doesn’t mean they want them all at once! My sister was pregnant with twins (she had been trying) and was just overwhelmed with the idea. It’s a lot to handle…it doesn’t mean they won’t be happy later about it but it’s a shock. When people get shocks they often cry…It’s normal.
Being pregnant with more then one is dangers even with today medicines. Having more then one baby can lead to many health issues that puts the baby and the mother in danger. I wouldn’t be upset if i pregnant with twins, but if i have a choices i would choices it. Its very difficulty’s.
have you not heard the saying ‘ too much of a good thing’ ?
One kid at a time can be taxing let alone four WOW! Have you seen the pictures of Kate G during her pregnancy? and her belly afterwards even just look at her face- shes exhausted and her belly has stretched out completely. Yes she wanted babies but boy is it hard . of course they are blessed but think of all the complications that can happen ‘table for 12′ have one daughter who is disabled, what if it were more?
I’m sure all families are blessed and im also sure they ( me included) have been exhausted and just wish someone else could take over so they could nap
Well, I’m only having one and I’m thrilled but TERRIFIED at the same time so, I see why they would be upset.
Yes kids are a blessing in any size, but until you have multiples you do not know all that goes into it, I had twins naturally and after my ultrasound where they told me it was twins I sat in the parking lot and cried for about an hour, its hard raising one baby, and being pregnant with one baby, let alone having to take care of two or more as well as the financial aspect, and the toll it took on my health…. I love my babies more than anything in this world but it is very very stressful and the first year was extremely exhausting I know I got little sleep with my two, I couldnt imagine anymore to add to the mix lol, but all I gotta say is have multiples yourself and THEN judge people on their reaction and see how you handle the situation lol
The higher the number of babies, the more likely you are to have complications and/or lose some/all of them. They also spend more time in the NICU, you have a higher chance of major health problems, etc. Also, with every baby you add, you subtract 3 weeks for the due date, which means that when you get to quints, you’re down to 24 weeks, and at sextuplets, you’re down to 21 weeks. Before 24 weeks, they are very unlikely to survive outside of the womb because they are so under developed. And weeks 36-39 are when most brain growth happens, which is why premies are generally farther behind than other babies their age. And, it also increases the likelihood of mental or physical retardation in one or more of your children.
On top of all that, it’s incredibly hard on your body. Your body is designed to hold one baby at a time, anything more and it starts adding more stress. Your organs are already pushed out of place for a singleton, but they become even more compressed with each added baby. Your uterus and stomach also stretch farther and faster. Look at Kate during the pregnancy and then look at her before the tummy tuck. Your body has no way of naturally recovering from that much stretching. And it’s common for the skin to burst open and start bleeding, so it’s very painful. And, you’re also expected to continue eating, even when you cant stomach it, because it’s the only way that you can possibly hope that they’ll be even a few ounces at birth. The average singleton is born around 7 lbs, but the average high order multiple is around a pound.
And then, after the birth, there is the stress of actually raising the kids. Even with twins, it’s not just “twice the work” it’s more like 4 or 5 times the work. And with triplets, it’s 8 or 9 times the work, at least. It’s wise to have a nanny/helper for twins, almost required for triplets, and required for anything higher. And try finding a sitter for that many children so you can go out for a night to get some rest/enjoy your spouse. Putting them through diapers, formula, school, college, etc at the same time. Teaching them to drive at the same time. Trying to keep control over them, particularly at a young age, when they outnumber you. It’s a lot of work. Most families only have 2 or 3 children, and very often dont have to deal with all the same issues at the same time. But with multiples, it all happens at the same time. Think about it: you’re toilet training, going through the terrible 2s, terrible 3s, and fearsome 4s, going through puberty, going through adolescents, getting them off to college, etc all at the same time. It’s not like with singletons, even those in the same age group, where you have a few months to a few years in between each phase.
