The amazing story of the quintuplets

          From an interview in a previous online newsletter on vibhavadi.com, we interviewed the Siribunchawan family; who successfully conceived quintuplets (2 boys and 3 girls) via IVF at Vibhavadi Hospital Fertility Center. The babies are now almost 4 months old and very adorable. Mr. and Mrs. Siribunchawan told us that the quintuplets are very healthy with easy temperaments. Since Mother’s Day was in August, we took the opportunity to interview new mom Mrs. Siribunchawan on raising quintuplets, and share photos of the adorable 5; Avie, Ally, Andrew, Edward, and Emma.

How are the quintuplets?

“They are almost 4 months now, everyone is healthy and strong. Our 3 nannies, grandma, and I all help take care of the babies.”

When do the babies cry, usually?

“They usually cry at the same time when they are hungry or have stomach pains. Their daddy always say that when they cry, it sounds like the melody in a song.”

How do you plan to raise them?

“From what I’ve been thinking, when they are a little older we may have to renovate the house. They will probably go to school near our house. I will do my best to raise them the way my mother raised me. Dad already bought us a new van to make transportation easier.”

Has dad been involved in taking care of the babies?

“Usually he is at work, but he does help when he’s home. He helps as much as he can.”

What do you have planned for their future?

“I haven’t thought about it. Whatever they want to do, study, or be, they can. I don’t want to force them. I just want them to be good people who contribute to society.”

Do you want more kids?

“I talked to my husband and we do want 1 or 2 more, so the quintuplets can have younger siblings. Maybe 4-5 years from now when they are a bit older.”

Since you are a new, young mom, how does it feel to raise 5 babies?

“I feel exhausted! But the happiest kind of exhaustion. Seeing them grow everyday makes me so happy, but I am lucky to have the nannies and grandma to help me. Every time we have to go somewhere, we really need to plan the trip thoroughly because it can be a bit tricky. For example, coming to see the doctor at Vibhavadi Hospital, we have to alternate the babies for different appointments on different days. Overall, we are extremely happy.”

Truly a miracle, to witness the birth of the quintuplets. A miracle that brings happiness. Vibhavadi Hospital Fertility Center is happy and proud to be a part of the joy in the Siribunchawan family.
