Pregnant With Sextuplets | Our Life

Описание: The heart-wrenching story of a couple pregnant with Sextuplets. Subscribe to Our Life: https://bit.ly/3dBMxvl

Documentary telling the story of the first sextuplets to be born in Britain for 17 years. Layla, Ellen, Matthew, Rose, Pippa and Eric were born 14 weeks early in May 2010 at John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford. Their parents, Vicky and Andy, talk about the most dramatic time of their lives - the difficult pregnancy and the option they were given to reduce the number of babies, but they decided to let nature take its course. All six babies teetered on the edge of survival, and sadly Matthew and Pippa lost their fight. But little by little, the survivors grew stronger. Cameras record the moment Layla is re-united with her brother and sisters in the special care unit, and follows events during the emotional days when the babies finally leave hospital and come home. Vicky and Andy had to learn to cope with the demands of four newborns - and all the nappy changing and bottle-feeding that goes with them. Now they can get ready for their first Christmas with their little miracles.
