A mum who feared she would never get pregnant took infertility medication - and ended up with quintuplets. Hannah Merton, 23, and husband Jacob, 24, feared she was infertile so she took medication to stimulate ovulation.
And it was more successful than they could ever have imagined. She fell pregnant with five babies, and Philomena, Evangeline, Meredith, Gideon and Elliot were born prematurely at just 25 weeks.
The teeny miracles weighed between 1lb 13oz and 1lb 4oz each, and had a tough early start. The couple were devastated when the smallest quint, Meredith, died aged three days old, following a fatal brain bleed.
