(Original title: 51-year-old grandmother proudly gave birth to 4 twins and was driven crazy by feeding and changing diapers: help)
A 51-year-old grandmother in the UK, Tracy Brighton, gave birth to quadruplets through IVF, becoming the oldest quadruplet mother in the UK, and she already has eight grandchildren under her lap. However, faced with the workload of feeding 32 bottles of milk and changing 28 diapers every day, the originally proud "old mother" had to shout for help and began to ask herself "why did she have a baby".
According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on the 26th, before giving birth to quadruplets, Theresie had three children, aged 22, 31 and 32 years old, all born with her ex-husband. She also has eight grandchildren, ranging in age from seven months old to 11 years old.
After divorcing in 2003, Tracy met her current husband, Stephen (39). Tracy had conceived in 2005 but gave up because of the wrong timing. But the abortion left her traumatized and the reason why she wanted a child all the time.
At the age of 50, Tracy and her husband Stephen spent £7,000 (about 62,317 yuan) in Cyprus through IVF and became pregnant with quadruplets, three of whom were girls, one was a boy, and one of the three girls were identical twins.
For those who questioned her about becoming a mother at the age of 50, she said she didn't care, she said: "People can say whatever they want, they don't know me." If they also see these 4 beautiful babies, they will change their minds. "
Last October, 51-year-old Tracy underwent a caesarean section in London and successfully gave birth to quadruplets. The four children were admitted to the intensive care unit immediately after birth and fed by intubation, but they recovered quickly. Last December, Tracy returned home with her children.
Since Stephen was going to work outside the home, Tracy had to take on the task of caring for the quadruplets alone. Every day, she feeds her children 32 bottles of milk, changes 28 diapers, and sleeps no more than three hours a night due to the huge workload.
Despite being almost sleepless, Tracy still feels short of time, saying the children bathe every day, while she herself is too busy to wash her hair for six weeks. "You do ask yourself in the middle of the night, 'Oh my God, why did you give birth?' "
Tracy said that when the children learned to climb, she couldn't imagine how to deal with four children climbing in different directions. But she kept reassuring herself, saying, "Time will pass quickly, and I think that after a few months, they will be able to drink their own milk." "
