Oksana and Sergey had never planned for a large family. They had agreed that two children would be perfect for them, as they felt they didn’t have the means to support more. But even in the early stages of her pregnancy, Oksana had a feeling that something was different.
“I couldn’t shake the thought that there was more than one child,” Oksana recalls. “No one in our family had ever been pregnant with twins, so I thought I’d never experience anything like this,” she tells German news source Heftig. However, what she was about to discover was even more surprising.
During her ultrasound, Oksana noticed the doctor’s expression change to one of concern. The doctor soon delivered some astonishing news: “I can see five fetuses, maybe six. It’s hard to tell.”
