Mum-of-six at 27 pregnant with twins – after having tubes tied then reversed because she was desperate for more kids
AN AUSSIE mum-of-six discovered she is pregnant with twins which will see her have eight kids - including a set of triplets - before the age of 30.
After the birth of Rufus, Henry and Pearl - Chloe Dunstan, 27, had her tubes tied but then had the procedure reversed when she and husband Rohan decided they wanted another baby.
By the time Chloe turned 22 the couple had three children - Evan, 8, Otto, 7, and Felix, 6 - before welcoming the triplets four years ago.
She was forced to deliver the babies via a C-section at just 28 weeks to save the life of her unborn daughter, who was being deprived of oxygen and essential nutrients required to survive in the womb.
And when the triplets arrived, all three of them were underweight with Henry weighing 1370g, Rufus 1200g and Pearl just 690g.
Following the troublesome birth, the 27-year-old had her tubes tied, but later had the procedure reversed.
Explaining her decision, she said: “We chose this option over IVF as I regretted having them tied and wanted to restore my fertility.
“Most doctors recommend going straight to IVF as tubal ligation reversal isn’t always successful, but ours was a success.”
Chloe began documenting her journey when she was pregnant with the triplets, and quickly grew a following of 364k followers on Instagram.
The expectant mum announced her pregnancy news on Instagram leaving fans shocked by the announcement of twins.
In the photo, she held up the ultrasound while her six kids held their bellies in anticipation for the birth of their new siblings in November.
She wrote: “We are thrilled to share with you all that we are welcoming two little beans to our family!
“We so very excited for this new chapter in our lives. Our hearts are so full.”
