I have five kids under four – the last baby felt like it was going to fall out after my quintuplets drama
Share:
A MUM with five little ones under four recalled her experience with her final pregnancy. The woman had originally feared she was infertile so took medication to stimulate ovulation. In 2020, Hannah Merton, now 25, and her husband Jacob, now 26, welcomed five babies at once.

The quintuplets arrived early at 25 weeks, weighing between one pound 13 ounces and one pound four ounces each. Unfortunately, the smallest baby, Meredith, passed away after just three days due to a brain bleed. Her siblings Philomena, Evangeline, Gideon, and Elliot eventually grew strong enough to leave the NICU, only reuniting altogether a year after their birth.

Hannah explained that her tiny miracles came after "two years of infertility.". Earlier this year, the young mum got candid about her second pregnancy. She described what it was like carrying and expecting a "singleton" after her quintuplets. Hannah revealed that her first pregnancy resulted in a lot of complications, including high order multiples, pelvic floor issues, and diastasis recti.
She explained that she had never carried a baby to full-term before, having had her first five babies prematurely. This led to her Googling to see if she was carrying her child too low during her third trimester. "This is the longest I've ever been pregnant and this baby feels like it is going to fall out," she told her followers.
Hannah described the feeling as "mind-blowing" and pointed out that she doesn't even look pregnant from certain angles. "I don't really feel like I'm that big like if you saw me walking down the street, would you actually think I look pregnant?" she asked her audience.
