An Alabama couple had been trying to give their three sons a sibling after suffering a heartbreaking miscarriage back in January. They decided to try fertility medication, and found out just weeks later they were expecting six babies.
“It was the shock of our lives,” Courtney Waldrop said.
But she and her husband Eric, who have been a couple since middle school, said their faith took over after they heard all six heartbeats.
“We turned it over to God and we realised he was going to get us through it,” Eric said.
Courtney is now 13 weeks along, and doctors are hoping that the babies make it to 28 weeks gestation before they’re born. Courtney is due to deliver at Huntsville Hospital, which has never delivered sextuplets before.
“The risks are crazy,” Courtney said. “They are monitoring me closely, taking good care of me.”
In the meantime, as she prepares to give birth, Courtney has set up a Facebook page” to keep the community updated on the whirlwind experience.
