After the joy of welcoming her first child into the world four years ago, Lindsay Hay, 28, faced the heartbreak of multiple miscarriages.
So, it was a surprise for Lindsay and her husband, Syman Hay, when last year’s ultrasound revealed the unexpected news of expecting quadruplets.
The couple couldn’t believe their luck. While hoping for another child, the incredible twist of having four more was beyond their expectations!
Lindsay’s previous miscarriages were attributed to the poor quality of her eggs, leading her to undergo a hormone treatment called Follistim. It was during the third cycle of treatment that she conceived the quadruplets.
Excited about the news, Lindsay and Syman faced skepticism from her medical team. Standing at 1.80 m tall and weighing around 90 kg, doubts arose about whether her small frame could handle such an extensive pregnancy. Concerns were raised about potential risks for both Lindsay and the babies, with reproductive endocrinologists suggesting selective pregnancy reduction.
However, Lindsay remained confident in her decision to embrace all four babies. On July 23, 2019, she joyfully welcomed Caiden Michael, Madison Grace, Lucas William, and Grayson James into the world!
All four infants required respiratory assistance upon being delivered via C-section at 30 weeks and 4 days. They spent 45 days in the NICU, an experience Lindsay described as carefree and “uneventful” since they were all in “great shape.”
Recently, Lindsay, an online influencer, shared a set of side-by-side photos with her 236,000 followers on Instagram. One image showcased her significant baby bump during the third trimester, while the other depicted her cradling the quadruplets.
“IN & OUT DAY! I carried these adorable babies for 30 weeks and 4 days inside, and here they are at 30 weeks and 4 days out,” she began the caption. “Hands full, heart full is an understatement!”
Reflecting on the discomfort during the third trimester, Lindsay marveled at her body’s incredible feat. “My little body did this!” she exclaimed.
The pregnancy brought about considerable changes in Lindsay’s body, unveiling strengths she never knew she possessed. “Behind these babies are new marks, bulges, and skin that you can’t see, but they also came with new strengths that I didn’t have before either.”
Blessed by the experience, Lindsay vowed never to take life for granted and expressed gratitude for the newfound strengths.
Contrary to the sensationalized portrayal on reality TV shows, Lindsay asserts that life with multiple children is more manageable than it appears. While acknowledging the challenges of constant activity and reduced sleep, she believes the media tends to exaggerate the situation.
And now, presenting their latest UPDATE PHOTO on Instagram:
With five wonderful children, one can only imagine the overflowing joy and energy in the Hay household!
