Reality TV star Kate Gosselin recently shared intimate details about her challenging pregnancy journey with her sextuplets. In a series of TikTok videos, the 50-year-old mother opened up about her struggles with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and the fertility treatments she underwent to conceive.
Gosselin revealed that an early ultrasound showed seven fetuses. However, a subsequent scan revealed that one of the babies had stopped developing.
She recounted the emotional turmoil of that time, fearing she was experiencing a miscarriage. “At some point I started bleeding,” she shared, admitting she believed she was losing all of the babies.
The anxiety continued while she awaited the results of another emergency ultrasound. Gosselin described the agonizing wait, fearing the worst.
Then, the ultrasound technician revealed six heartbeats. Overwhelmed with relief, Gosselin said she knew in that moment she was fully committed to her six babies.
The experience solidified her resolve to fight for her children and do everything possible to ensure their survival. She acknowledged the emotional impact of nearly losing them, stating, “It made me realize how much I already loved them.”
When a follower on TikTok inquired about the seventh baby, Gosselin responded that she believed it would have been a girl and that she would have named her Emma.
Gosselin and her ex-husband, Jon Gosselin, also share 24-year-old twin daughters.
