She gave birth to six

It is quite uncommon to become pregnant with six children and bring them

to term in good health. Given that she had known from an early age that

she would not become a mother, Janet never thought she would be in this

small fraction. However, destiny had other ideas and richly rewarded her for her hardships, faith, and tenacity.

At 24, the couple got married. A while later, Janet received encouraging news

from doctors: she still had a chance to become a mother. In Britain in the 1980s,

she and Graham made the decision to try everything. There was no success after twelve attempts.

“Let’s attempt it again. The couple agreed to adopt if it didn’t work out.

And a miracle occurred on the thirteenth attempt.

Janet, 31, found out she was pregnant at her eight-week ultrasound.

Janet became anxious as she saw the doctor’s big eyes. The physician left the

room and came back with the chief physician and several colleagues.

They advised her to be admitted to the hospital right away after telling her that she was expecting six children.

The pair was stunned. The odds of bringing all six of the babies to term were quite low,

according to the doctors. Janet, however, maintained her composure and faith that everything would be alright.

In order to save some kids, the physicians advised Janet to wait until she was 23 weeks pregnant.

Despite her excruciating anguish, Janet was willing to face any challenge in order to become a mother.

When it became apparent that the babies’ space was running out at 31 weeks,

the doctors made the decision to perform a C-section.

Seven medical teams attended the birth on November 18, 1983.

Janet delivered all six infants safely under general anesthesia. They were all females.
