The mother of Ireland's first sextuplets has revealed she ignored medical advice and put her faith in God over the multiple birth.According to Sky News, Nuala Conway, 26, from Dunamore in County Tyrone, was warned about the high risks of carrying six foetuses and was advised to abort several of them at 14 weeks.
But, in an interview with the Sunday Express, she and her husband Austin explained how they refused at allow doctors to intervene. The couple told the paper: '"They told us about the risks we faced if we went ahead with the pregnancy." "These babies are a wonderful gift from God," she said, adding: "Whatever God laid out for our lives we were taking it."
The six babies, Ursula, Austin, Shannon, Karla, Eoghan and Kerrie, were born in a successful Caesarean section birth involving 30 medical staff at Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital last month.
