Happy Husband: 31-Year-Old Woman Gives Birth to Six Children in Just Two Pregnancies
Digna Carpio, a 31-year-old mother from Queens, has a lot to celebrate this Mother’s Day. In October, she gave 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to 𝓈ℯ𝓍tuplets, six healthy babies that have brought immense joy to her and her husband Victor.
Along with their eight-year-old son Jhan Carlos, the Carpio household is now bustling with the joyous chaos of raising six babies. Going out with all of them can be challenging, but knowing that they are happy and healthy brings Digna the greatest satisfaction.
Each 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 is developing their own unique personality, and although they may look similar to others, Digna can already distinguish each one. However, this newfound joy has come with sacrifices, as the bills continue to pile up and the expenses for essentials like electricity, 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 food, and diapers add up. Victor’s biweekly salary as a maintenance worker is not always enough to cover these costs.
The Carpio babies are the second group of 𝓈ℯ𝓍tuplets 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 to a New York couple and are believed to be the first Hispanic 𝓈ℯ𝓍tuplets in U.S. history. While they receive assistance from two nurses, the responsibility of caring for the babies falls mostly on Digna and Victor, leaving them with little time for sleep.
Despite the financial challenges, the Carpios find solace in the adorable faces of their babies, and Digna feels that it is the best gift a mother could ask for. This Mother’s Day, she cherishes the moments of being together with her family, even though quiet and relaxing days have become a rarity in their lively home.
