Ireland has given birth to their first set of sextuplets for the country since 1983. Nuala and Austin Conway gave birth 14 weeks prematurely at the Royal Jubilee Maternity Hospital in Belfast and have asked for privacy during this time. The preemies, four boys and two girls, are currently in intensive care.
It actually took 30 people to help deliver the six babies via caesarean section. The babies came out weighing between 1lb 7oz- 2lb 2oz, hopefully they each gain the weight needed to go home.
I’ll keep ya posted as news develops.
