Being a parent is a lifelong responsibility. It’s not something you can just stop or pause at any time. And having a baby is really hard. The path of each parent is different, but one thing remains the same – it is not easy. It’s actually overwhelming, especially if you’re a first time parent. But if giving birth to one child is already difficult, then what else for those who gave birth to more than one child at once?

The journey is definitely more difficult and not everyone can handle such a situation. But many who have been given this great blessing of prolific life have risen to the challenge. Just like Chad and Amy Kempel. This couple had 2 daughters before they had quintuplets. Chad admitted in an interview with NowThis News that they were happy but scared when they found out they were having 5 children. As for Amy, she thought it would be exactly like her previous pregnancies where she had multiple miscarriages. Although it was risky, Amy still decided to carry 5 babies and luckily she delivered them safely by caesarean section. The babies had to stay in the intensive care unit for 73 days because they were born 3 months premature.
