A woman in Kansas City, Kansas has given birth to three sets of fraternal twins in around two years. Yes, you read that correctly: Six children, two years, one woman, and what we can assume is zero sleep, and all without fertility drugs.
Danesha Couch, whose mother calls her “Double Trouble” because of her body’s knack for making sets, told Today that she’s not overwhelmed by her kiddos.
“I feel blessed because some women I’ve met in my lifetime can’t even have kids,” Couch told TODAY. “I feel really lucky that I can. I feel like a special lady to be able to say I’ve had three sets of twins, I feel like a superwoman.”
All of Couch’s children were born early at 26, 29 and 33 weeks respectively. One of her eldest sons, Desmond, passed away just after he was born, however his twin Danarius is now a rough-housing, healthy two-year-old, and was followed by sisters Delilah and Davina and Dalanie and Darla. She says all of the children are totally different, personality-wise, like “a big pot of gumbo.”
The mom of many took her newborn son’s death as a sign: “I figured my first time, losing a child, maybe that was God’s way of saying you’re not ready yet,” she said.
