Jamie and Skyler Scott married in 2004 and the two soon welcomed their first child, Shayden, born in 2005. A few years after their first son was grown, Jamie gave birth to their second son named Landon.
A few years after the two children were grown, Jamie and his wife intended to have another child. But sadly, for 5 years, the couple’s efforts fell into despair.
They searched for a fertility specialist and during the second round of treatment, they hit the jackpot — but maybe not in the way everyone expected.
When she was only 19 weeks pregnant, her bumps were too big. Makes it difficult for her to walk. A wheelchair is required to maintain daily mobility.
A few weeks after her doctor confirmed the pregnancy, Jamie tested extremely high for HCG hormones. Something strange was going on…
Higher than average HCG levels usually indicate that the mother is carrying several children.
Jamie and Skyler were expecting to see one or two tiny infants during the first ultrasound.
To their surprise, the nurse pointed to five healthy heartbeats beating in Jamie’s stomach. This miracle is estimated to happen in only one out of 55 million pregnancies.
Like many other expectant women, Jamie developed an odd need for specific foods. She was totally fixated on milkshakes for a time.
She was instructed by the physicians to eat roughly 4,000 calories every day in order to acquire 100 pounds (45 kg).
On March 21, 2018 at St Joseph Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix she had a successful delivery thanks to a cesarean section. It took less than 60 seconds to give birth to all the babies. Each baby weighed less than 3 pounds (1 kg) at birth. Her 5 children were born safely and named Lily, Violet, Daisy, Logan and Lincoln.
Amazingly, all five of the children were born in good health. This kind of birth usually has a lot of complications.
“The messages of love and hope that we’ve received from around the world have really helped strengthen us to get through this tough time of very, very high risk pregnancy,” says Jamie.
