years and years Lauren and David Perkins
0:24
a lovely couple from Texas tried to
0:27
conceive a child with no luck
0:29
the process was heartbreaking and after
0:32
several failed attempts they turned to
0:34
medical professionals for help finally
0:36
after successful treatment Lauren got
0:39
pregnant before they knew it the day for
0:41
their first ultrasound arrived the
0:44
would-be parents felt excited ready to
0:46
see how their baby was doing
0:48
when Lauren and David Perkins first met
0:50
they immediately knew they belonged
0:52
together in 2007 the couple tied the
0:56
knot and in 2010 they adopted a dog
0:59
Maggie everything seemed perfect Lauren
1:02
and David couldn't wait to start a
1:04
family that they could love and grow
1:06
with
1:07
however being adventurous Souls the
1:09
couple decided to wait until they were
1:12
ready to settle down they thought in
1:14
that time they could plan for anything a
1:17
few years into their marriage Lauren and
1:19
David began trying to have a baby
1:22
like so many would-be parents they
1:24
believed they had planned out the
1:25
perfect life at the time the couple felt
1:28
incredibly excited at the idea of
1:30
conceiving a baby on their own however
1:33
they had no idea how difficult it would
1:35
be unfortunately as the Perkins
1:38
attempted to have a child they realized
1:40
something was off as much as they wanted
1:42
a baby the tests continually came back
1:45
negative even though they knew to stress
1:47
about it could make things worse Lauren
1:50
and David couldn't help it soon days
1:53
turn into months so the couple started
1:55
trying anything they could that would
1:56
help
1:57
Lauren and David both began taking
1:59
vitamins and supplements as well as
2:02
adopting healthy eating habits still
2:04
month after month the couple continued
2:06
to come up empty
2:08
Lauren and David Perkins try to conceive
2:11
for 18 months with no success
2:12
unfortunately after many attempts there
2:16
still was no baby at sight and the
2:18
couple felt more disappointed than ever
2:19
at that point Lauren and David decided
2:23
to turn to a fertility specialist for
2:25
help after some extensive research the
2:28
couple found the perfect doctor for them
2:29
and booked an appointment
2:31
during the visit the doctor covered a
2:33
variety of tests they could take and the
2:35
treatments that could follow
2:37
however it all seemed too overwhelming
2:39
for both Lori and David not to mention
2:41
expensive as such they decided to sleep
2:45
on it before making any decisions also
2:47
the couple decided it was finally time
2:49
to tell their family and friends about
2:51
their trouble
2:52
maybe someone could Point them in the
2:54
right direction after months of waiting
2:56
and a visit to the doctors the Perkins
2:59
told their loved ones about the
3:00
situation
3:01
the couple explained their infertility
3:03
struggling to do so
3:05
thankfully everyone understood and fully
3:08
supported the Perkins the secret
3:10
instantly turned into a breath of fresh
3:12
air
3:13
Warren and David Stanley could not
3:14
believe they kept the secret for so long
3:17
so everyone started discussing what the
3:19
doctors had said and the treatments the
3:22
couple could try while the couple
3:24
researched their problems they decided
3:26
to join a missionary trip to Nicaragua
3:28
after a long hard year Lauren and David
3:31
thought they would leave their
3:32
infertility issues behind for a while
3:34
however something incredible happened
3:36
instead
3:38
while in Nicaragua a local priest pulled
3:40
the couple aside and put her hand on
3:42
Lauren's belly
3:43
she told me she knew God had big plans
3:46
for me she didn't know what but it would
3:48
be big Lauren recalled the moment was
3:51
incredibly powerful thanks to the pastor
3:54
their missionary trip had given Lauren
3:56
and David everything they wanted a
3:58
renewed faith in one another God and
4:01
their ability to have a child
4:03
so they decided to try again instead of
4:06
adopting however this time things would
4:09
go differently now the Perkins agree to
4:12
consider all their options including
4:14
treatments and surgeries as Lauren and
4:16
David began exploring all of their
4:18
options they closed in on introduing
4:21
insemination IUI first basically this
4:25
meant that the sperm would be placed
4:26
directly into her uterus to increase the
4:29
number of sperm that reached the
4:30
Fallopian tubes that way the chances of
4:33
fertilization would be higher it was a
4:36
pain-free relatively fast procedure that
4:39
many couples chose to help themselves
4:41
get pregnant
4:42
most noteworthy in terms of budget it
4:45
ranged anywhere from three hundred five
4:47
hundred dollars per session making it
4:49
one of the most affordable options
4:51
however IUI chances sit at just two five
4:54
percent so Lauren didn't feel incredibly
4:57
confident to say the least she figured
5:00
once the IUI failed they would move on
5:02
while the Perkins wanted to conceive
5:04
naturally they couldn't wait forever
5:07
so while they continue to try Lauren and
5:10
David also went ahead with the IUI
5:13
treatment after all do they have to lose
5:15
worst case they would have to try more
5:18
than once or simply move on to a more
5:20
effective treatment
5:21
with that in mind the Perkins headed
5:24
back to the fertility clinic When the
5:26
doctor finished the treatment David
5:28
started to breathe normally once again
5:30
meanwhile Lauren felt fine the procedure
5:33
went smoothly and Lauren had no
5:35
complications whatsoever
5:37
once the IUI treatment took place the
5:40
Perkins headed back home
5:42
all Warren and David could do was
5:44
patiently wait and pray for a successful
5:46
procedure in most IUI cases doctors
5:49
recommend that women don't take a
5:51
pregnancy test until a few weeks after
5:53
the treatment
5:54
so the Perkins waited trying not to let
5:57
their hopes and fears get the best of
5:59
them
6:00
after the two-week wait following the
6:02
procedure the Perkins were ready for
6:04
some results
6:05
so Lauren went to a nearby drugstore and
6:08
purchased multiple pregnancy tests after
6:11
all she wanted to make sure that she got
6:13
a consistent result but after taking the
6:16
very first pregnancy test Lauren
6:18
couldn't believe what she was seeing the
6:20
stick came back positive she was
6:22
pregnant the couple couldn't be happier
6:24
after all this time they finally
6:27
received the miraculous news they wanted
6:29
still they wanted to be sure so Lawrence
6:32
of his second and third test all came
6:35
back positive it must have been such an
6:37
emotional scene to watch once she
6:39
learned the news Lauren was all ready to
6:41
have her first checkup within the next
6:44
couple of days Lauren scheduled her
6:46
first appointment
6:47
at her routine checkup the nurse noted
6:49
that Lauren's hormone levels were
6:51
abnormally High
6:53
of course the new parents to be felt
6:55
worried by this news high levels of
6:57
human chorionic gonadotropin he Iji
7:00
could indicate that something might be
7:02
off with her pregnancy
7:04
the doctors understood the Perkins fears
7:06
the mother-to-be was speechless twins
7:09
triplets possibly at this stage of the
7:12
pregnancy of testing all the doctors
7:14
could tell was that her conditions
7:16
seemed to indicated multiple children
7:18
they'd need to do an ultrasound to know
7:20
more
7:21
the Perkins couldn't believe they might
7:23
be expecting more than one baby they
7:25
fell happier than ever
7:27
they have been so focused on the idea of
7:29
having just one child they never stopped
7:31
to think they might have two at once
7:34
the day of Lauren's first ultrasound
7:36
finally arrived on the way the Perkins
7:38
could hardly contain their excitement he
7:41
started the ultrasound running the probe
7:43
over her belly so an image appeared on
7:45
the screen initially the doctor said
7:48
everything on the ultrasound looked in
7:50
order then he stopped talking then after
7:53
a minute or two Lauren and David noticed
7:56
their doctor had a strange look on his
7:58
face well I just counted five the doctor
8:02
told them Lauren and David's Jaws
8:04
dropped they simply couldn't believe
8:06
what the doctor was telling them but the
8:08
surprises didn't end there all of a
8:11
sudden the doctor said wait wait wait
8:13
wait I just found a sixth one both
8:16
Warren and David's heart stopped for a
8:18
second sextuplets certainly they were
8:21
not expecting this kind of news they
8:24
arrived thinking that maybe they could
8:26
be expecting twins possibly maybe
8:28
triplets never in a million years did
8:31
they think they could have sex tuplets
8:34
after all this time their perseverance
8:36
had finally paid off in the most
8:38
astonishing way unsurprisingly the
8:41
couple felt overwhelmed and scared
8:43
the doctor also explained to them that
8:45
multiple pregnancies like triplets or
8:48
sextuplets were especially dangerous
8:50
because of the number of babies so the
8:52
doctor presented them with some options
8:54
now Lauren and David Perkins faced one
8:57
of the hardest decisions they would ever
8:59
have to make
9:01
because of the limited space in Lawrence
9:02
Wong the sextuplets might not get the
9:05
nutrients in blood supply that they
9:07
needed
9:07
as such the doctor gave Lauren and David
9:10
the option of selective reduction
9:13
what this meant is that they would have
9:15
to choose to abort some of the fitnesses
9:16
to provide the others with a better
9:18
chance at surviving however in Lauren
9:21
and David's mind it was never an option
9:24
they just couldn't decide which babies
9:26
got to live and which didn't
9:28
Lauren and David decided to keep all the
9:31
sextuplets they would give all six
9:33
babies a Fighting Chance despite the
9:35
challenge that came with raising
9:36
sextuplets as brand new parents luckily
9:40
the Perkins were not alone they had the
9:42
support of their friends and family to
9:44
get through it all over the next seven
9:46
months Lauren's body experienced some
9:48
incredible changes after all her body
9:51
had to compensate for all the six babies
9:53
growing inside of her because of the
9:56
baby's weight in her belly
9:57
Lauren started to have constant back leg
10:00
and foot pain eventually it became too
10:03
difficult for her to travel very far for
10:05
very long
10:06
three days after Lauren was admitted to
10:08
the hospital it was finally time for the
10:10
babies to come into this world
10:12
on April 2 3 it of 2012 Lauren gave
10:16
birth to the little sextuplets via
10:18
C-section today at Texas Children's
10:21
Pavilion for women Lauren and David
10:23
Perkins from Houston Texas gave birth to
10:26
sextuplets at 10 to 6 AM they delivered
10:29
three boys and three girls at 30 weeks
10:31
one day gestation a close friend of the
10:34
couple told the Press
10:35
the sextuplets had to stay with an IQ
10:37
because they were too small to handle
10:39
the environment the Perkins welcome to
10:42
the world Lea Michele Caroline Grace
10:44
Allison Kate Levi Thomas Andrew Miller
10:47
and Benjamin Luke with Time Each baby
10:51
got bigger and stronger eventually the
10:54
sexed uplets were healthy enough that
10:55
Lauren and David were able to hold them
10:58
the Perkins were constantly praying that
11:00
all their children would grow strong and
11:03
their prayers were answered the Kid's
11:05
first Christmas arrived and this time
11:07
around the family had much more than
11:09
presents to be thankful for
11:11
not only were the sextuplets eight
11:13
months old already but they were all
11:15
doing really well
11:17
the couple felt incredibly grateful for
11:19
all the blessings in their life
11:21
Lauren Perkins wanted to find a way to
11:23
share her experience as a mother of
11:25
sextuplets to the world
11:27
as such she started a Blog called
11:29
Perkins six-pack after their nickname
11:32
where she writes about their everyday
11:33
life on the blog Lauren shared a bit of
11:37
her pregnancy experience however now the
11:40
blog is entirely about the Perkins
11:41
packets for Lauren she picked up a few
11:44
things along the way while raising the
11:46
sextuplets a couple things that were
11:48
told to me back in the baby days that
11:50
