In the absence of external interference, the probability of a couple having twins normally is about 5/1000 to 15/1000, and the more the number, the more difficult it is, and the probability of triplets is almost the same as the probability of winning the million lottery.
And the more embryos, the greater the test for pregnant women, not only to bear great pain during pregnancy, whether it can wait until full term to give birth is also unknown, whether the child can be born smoothly and whether it can survive after birth, it is also a huge challenge for doctors.
In 1997, the world's first seven-twin was born in the United States, and their weight ranged from 1.3 kg to 1.47 kg, because they all miraculously survived, so they were also called "miracle 7-twins".
Their birth caused a huge sensation, the major media rushed to report this exciting news, the crowd sent blessings, and even Clinton, who was the president of the United States at the time, personally sent congratulatory messages.
In order to celebrate the birth of the miracle 7 twins, but also to help the family solve objective economic problems, all sectors of society have generously donated money, some people send goods, some people send cars, and even some people send their family a 511 square meter villa!
Taking fertility aids is facilitated
In 1995, Bobby McCoy entered into marriage with her husband, Kenny McCoy.
From free love to happy marriage, the two have also gone through many ups and downs, so the two have always wanted a love crystallization after marriage.
However, for some reason, the two never succeeded, and finally conceived the child with the help of the doctor.
Pregnant october, Bobby McCoy gave birth to a little girl in 1996. The couple, who liked the hard-won child so much, named her "Mikaela" and circled the child every day except for work hours.
Gradually, the mother, Bobby McCoy, noticed that Mikaela's child seemed to be a little lonely, and she discussed having another child to be Mikaela's little friend.
Father Kenny McCoy was also very fond of small children, and agreed almost without hesitation when he heard his wife's advice.
With the experience of conceiving the eldest daughter Mikaela earlier, the couple decided to turn directly to the doctor, based on Bobby McCoy's physical condition, the doctor suggested that they could try taking fertility aids to help promote ovulation, which could improve the chances of pregnancy, plus they both liked children, which would also increase the chances of having multiple births.
The couple listened to the doctor's advice and went home to actively prepare for pregnancy while taking medicine.
Sure enough, the year after giving birth to Mikaela, Bobby McCoy became pregnant again.
At first, Kenny McCoy, who learned that his wife was pregnant again, was very happy and took his wife to the hospital for examination, but the doctor's conclusion after the examination surprised the two people, and Bobby McCoy was pregnant with the seven triplets!
If twins, triplets, or even quadruplets are within their reach, then the seven twins are something they never thought about.
Relying on the power of nature, it is already very difficult to conceive quadruplets, and they use fertility aids just to conceive two or three to raise together, but seven at once!
This is not only a test of the pregnant woman's body, but also a huge test of the doctor's medical skills.
For the health of pregnant women and fetuses, doctors suggested that Bobby McCoy and her husband Kenny McCoy can try to selectively remove some fetuses, so as to ensure the quality of the fetus, protect the safety of pregnant women, and reduce the burden on the couple.
Bobby McCoy was widely concerned by all walks of life when he was just confirmed to be pregnant with the seven-ampere, after all, the probability of such a thing is too low, a country may receive someone to win the lottery every day, but there are very few people who can conceive the seven-ampere.
At first they knew that Bobby McCoy was also very happy for their family, but the worry also came, and people were of course very aware of the difficulty of having seven triplets, and they couldn't help but sweat for the pregnant woman.
However, when they heard the doctor's advice, they expressed their dissatisfaction, after all, whether it was of high quality or not, he was a small life, and the doctor had no right to deprive them of life.
At the same time, there are also many people who agree, after all, the risk factor of pregnant seven-fold babies is too high, and it may not be worth the loss in the end, which will have an adverse impact on pregnant women.
There are also many people who are silent, saying that this is a family affair and respecting the decisions of both parents.
Bobby McCoy and her husband Kenny McCoy are in a deep conflict, it seems that it is not a rational and easy thing to have so many children at the same time, but the couple feels that since they have come, they are fate, so they still decide to keep these children.
They rejected the doctor's advice and insisted on giving birth to all seven children, and many criticized them for being too idealistic and not considering actually playing with their own children's lives.
The voices of criticism and questioning were heard by the couple, but they ignored it, that it was their children, and that it was their duty to lead them into this world.
Mother and child are safe
During her pregnancy, Bobby McCoy suffered so much that she thought she was well prepared and had the experience of raising her first child, and it would not be too difficult.
But it turned out that she was still too naïve, and it was much more difficult to conceive a seven-ampere than she had imagined.
The first is a strong pregnancy reaction. Symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, drowsiness, fatigue, frequent urination, breast swelling and pain made Bobby McCoy eat badly and sleep well, and not only did not gain weight like other pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy, but even fell off the scale.
Anyone who saw Bobby McCoy during that time had serious doubts about her health.
Many people began to worry about whether she would be able to give birth smoothly, and many people happily said that they had already told you to give up a few more easily.
As time went on, the children grew larger and larger, Bobby McCoy's body became bulkier and heavier, and his waistline became several times larger.
For Bobby McCoy's safety, husband Kenny McCoy had to accompany him at home full-time.
Bobby McCoy's movements were so restricted that he could only sleep in one position.
In fact, most of the reactions of pregnant women when pregnant women are about pregnancy, Bobby McCoy only expanded their reactions several times, but it is not difficult to imagine the pain of getting pregnant with one, and the pain of Bobby McCoy is not difficult to imagine.
On November 19, 1997, Bobby McCoy, who was resting at home, suddenly had a violent reaction, more than two months before her due date.
Although she already had the experience of the first child, Bobby McCoy still frightened her husband, the husband rushed her to the hospital, originally the couple still wanted to keep the child in the stomach for as many days as possible, but after the doctor's examination, he told that he must undergo a caesarean section immediately, otherwise both the child and the adult would face great risks.
Bobby McCoy was quickly pushed into the operating room, and Kenny McCoy remained outside the operating room anxiously waiting.
Because it was the world's first case of chickadees, the media also came to the hospital early to wait for news when they heard that Bobby McCoy would give birth.
Because the child is full-term and the pregnant woman's condition is not good, the hospital has urgently set up a medical team of 40 medical personnel to wait for emergencies.
Bobby McCoy, who had been anemized, lay quietly on the hospital bed, the doctors beside her sweating profusely, carefully operating on Bobby McCoy while keeping an eye on her and the child's life characteristics.
Fortunately, there were no accidents during the birth, and all seven children died peacefully.
Four men and three women, weighing from 1.3 kg to 1.47 kg, although the child was born somewhat thin, but did not have any adverse reactions, which was like a gift from heaven, which surprised Kenny McCoy, the doctors, and the media.
The children were very healthy, but because they were too thin, they still lived in the hospital for a long time, and were released by the doctor until all the indicators were normal.
The family's experience has amazed the entire international community, and while congratulating and rejoicing, everyone has also donated generously to help the family solve its most pressing economic problems.
Among them, some people donated vans to make the family's travel more convenient and fast, and some people donated diapers and diapers, which is said to be enough for these children to use for two years;
Of course, there are many people who choose the simple and direct method, that is, to make money, they do not know where to get bobby McCoy's bank card account, there are not a few people who give them money, they have received a very considerable amount of relief;
What is even more surprising is that someone has donated a large villa for their family, after all, the place where the children live is too small, which is inconvenient and not conducive to the growth of the children.
If having children is an extremely difficult thing, keeping these children alive is a huge challenge.
At the beginning, the doctor also said that if these children are left behind, there may be children who cannot survive, which is an unavoidable thing, but the miracle is that such a family is so cared for, each child has successfully survived, the only fly in the ointment is that the second and fifth have cerebral palsy, which is also the misfortune of luck.
But being able to achieve such success has made the couple very satisfied.
Exposure to the media
The family's deeds were known to more and more people, and even Clinton, then US President, personally sent a congratulatory message to their family.
Ever since the children returned home from the hospital in good health, there have been constantly television media outlets who want to interview them and invite them to participate.
At first, the couple refused, either because the children were too young and because they really didn't have the energy.
It was already a very devastating thing for a mother to take care of a child alone, let alone seven children. Although Kenny McCoy was also at home helping with the children, it was still a very difficult thing for two people to cope with seven children.
In the first few months of life, 7 babies drink 42 bottles of milk powder every day, with 52 diapers, usually they sleep with the husband and wife can also take a short rest, once a child wakes up, it will immediately wake up other babies, if the children cry together it is a devastating thing, the crying is deafening.
The couple can only hold two children at a time, watching the children cry out of breath, but they can't give comfort in time, Bobby McCoy feels guilty and sad.
"A lot has happened over the years, and those memories, the joys and the pains have made us what we are now, and these experiences are special." Recalling those years of chaos, Bobby McCoy said.
Although there were many tribulations, fortunately, the children grew up safely, and although two of them were ill, they were all restored to their health and became like normal children through the careful care of their parents and the efforts of doctors.
Child status
Although they are the same father and mother, but the so-called "nine sons of the dragon have their own good", these seven children are not the same, their preferences are different, their pursuits are different, and their personalities are also very different.
Natalie is a beautiful girl, as a quiet little lady, she is the most likely to learn among her siblings, the grades are also the best of the seven children, her dream is great, that is, to grow up to become a teacher;
Brandon is a cool handsome boy whose favorite sport is fighting and has always hoped to one day become a soldier;
Although Kelsey was born as the youngest of the seven children, under the careful care of her parents and doctors, she has long recovered her health and loves football, and her biggest wish is to become a fashion designer;
Kenny is the hardest worker of all his siblings, enjoying fighting, woodwork, fishing and drumming;
Although Alexis was unfortunately suffering from cerebral palsy when she was born, she was the most confident and lovely one after she recovered, and her wish was to become a teacher in the future;
Nathan, who also suffers from cerebral palsy, is also an unforgettable child, with a round face and a dream of becoming a scientist;
The youngest little brother is called Joel, and he is the favorite of the family.
On November 19, 2016, it was their "coming-of-age ceremony" and they were happily reunited at their home in Iowa to celebrate their 18th birthday.
It was also in this year that Mikaela, the sister of seven children, got married, with three younger sisters as bridesmaids for her.
Today, the seven children are 24 years old, and they are gradually embarking on different lives:
Nathan (Computer Science), Kelsey (Public Relations), Joel (Computer Science), natalie (Sports Science) chose to continue their education and all managed to get into the University of LaGranges in Hannibal; Kenny (Carpenter) and Alexis (Early Childhood Education) studied at the Maine Community College; Brandon got his wish and became a soldier.
Now, with their wings growing, they have left the big villa to chase their lives, and their aging parents also plan to donate this villa to pass on their love.
