Meet Kimberly Tucci, an Australian mother of two who is expecting 5 more babies soon

This is her at 25 weeks looking like an actual goddess.

After nearly a year of trying to get pregnant with her third and final child, Tucci became pregnant at the end of July. This photo of her below was taken at just 11 weeks.


Tucci wrote on her Facebook page, Surprised By Five:
“My suspicion of a possible multiple pregnancy grew due to the quick rise of the pregnancy hormone. I was excited at the possibility of twins but absolutely nothing on this earth could have prepared me for what happened next.”
At her first ultrasound, the sonographer spotted multiple gestation sacks.


“[The sonographer] started to count ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE!” Tucci said. “Did I hear that correctly?? FIVE?? My legs start to shake uncontrollably and all I can do is laugh. The sonographer then told me the term for five is QUINTUPLETS!!”

(There’s just a one in 55,000,000 chance of conceiving quintuplets naturally, by the way.)
Tucci then called her husband, who quickly drove to the doctor’s office.
“I could see the excitement in his face,” she said. “He told me, ‘We can do this.’”
Tucci and hubby are expecting four girls and one boy.

With nausea, body pain, itchiness, stretch marks, frequent urination, and difficulty sleeping and eating, Tucci’s pregnancy has been anything but easy. But all five babies are healthy, and Tucci remains positive.
