Perth Mum, Kim Tucci, defied all odd by giving birth to not one but FIVE healthy babies! The odds of anyone conceiving and carrying quintuplets naturally are 1 in 55 million. Kim showed amazing strength throughout her pregnancy and birth, and her newly released photos of her five babies have completely melted our hearts.
Perth mum, Kim and her husband Vaughn already had two beautiful daughters when they were surprised with news that they were expecting another FIVE babies, and all at the same time!! This news could have sent even the strongest mum over the edge but Kim was determined that she was going be carry all five babies and deliver them safely into the world.
She was told by doctors to prepare for the worst. Carrying one baby can put incredible pressure on a woman’s body so we can only image the stress that five babies must have put on Kim. But she DID IT and she now has 5 beautiful healthy babies….. 4 girls and one little boy (which Dad, Vaughn is over the moon about).
HOLD ON TO YOUR OVARIES LADIES
The Tucci family recently shared a photo shoot with their new additions. Although the thought of having 5 babies all at once seems literally terrifying to us, these photos are loaded with more cuteness than an instagram puppy. They are just perfect and our ovaries are exploding!! Say hello to Ali, Penelope, Tiffany, Keith and Beatrix.
These adorable photographs were taken by Erin Hoskins at Erin Elizabeth Photography.
Kim’s strength to bring all these beautiful babies in to the world is awe inspiring, but just like any mum with a new baby, life is not always a bed of roses. Think… 5 babies needing bathing, feeding, burping and changing – it’s more than a full time job for both mum and dad. Kim told Channel 9’s 6o Minutes that she’s shed many tears and sometimes locks herself in the bathroom just for a breather! We think she is doing an amazing job. Go Mamma!!
They also need 5 of EVERYTHING to look after these precious bundles, which is an enormous financial strain. Kim and Vaughn have set up a GoFundMe page, and every donation counts. They’re currently trying to save up for a nine-seater car big enough to fit their whole family inside!
To help out we’re also going to send her a Healthy Mummy gift package because we’re pretty sure she is last on the list when it comes to eating healthy right now and we LOVE to support all mums.
