The biggest surprise came during their first ultrasound. After studying the screen for a while, the doctor announced: “I just counted 5.” Lauren’s immediate thought? That’s not possible! “Hold on,” the doctor said. “I just found a sixth one.” The shocked couple just stared at the screen. They were part of 1% chance of conceiving sextuplets.

They now had a monumental decision to make – reduce the babies or keep them all. There was a slim-to-none chance of all the babies surviving. They chose to keep them all, and the doctor promised to do everything they could to get Lauren to 28 weeks.
