Tiny 5'2" mother of sextuplets reveals the lengths she went to keep her babies alive
The mother of a set of sextuplets born in Alabama over Father's Day weekend today revealed how she had to consume 6,000 calories each day just to keep them nourished.
Looking ecstatic but exhausted, Heather Carroll, who is just 5'2" tall, said the tiny babies - five girls and a boy - all 'look wonderful'.
She and her husband Mitchell also revealed they have named the six alphabetically, after the letters doctors gave them when they were still in the womb: Abbie, Brooklyn, Chloe, David, Ellie and Faith.
The couple gave a press conference at Brookwood Medical Center in Birmingham today, where they were joined by gynaecologist Bill McKenzie, who proudly described the diminutive Mrs Carroll as 'country tough.'
Mrs Carroll said: 'The babies look great. I was expecting them to be just real weakly looking and real tiny. They're not. They look wonderful.'
She gave birth to the sextuplets by planned Caesarian section on Saturday morning, 28 weeks and one day into her pregnancy, after a month of strict bed rest - including her 30th birthday.
They arrived in the space of just three minutes, the eldest, Abbie, at 8.05am and the youngest, Faith, at 8.08am, and weighed between 1lb 10oz and 2lbs 5oz.
Dr McKenzie told the Birmingham News: 'All of them were born very healthy, and that weight spread is a good sign that there was not one baby that was lagging behind, that all of them had grown and developed well. I'm extremely proud of Heather.
