Kate Gosselin opens with fertility, pregnancy and birth in a tiktok series in six parts, revealing that she suffered her own loss of pregnancy after learning that she was pregnant with several fetuses.
“We had our first ultrasound at six weeks and there were seven babies,” shared Gosselin, 50, via Tiktok on Wednesday, September 3, in the fourth of the six videos discussing her at controversial moments of reproduction.
“I think they brought us back the following week – it was the week or two weeks, I don’t remember honestly – to see how they had progressed,” she continued. “Between this time, the seventh baby has stopped growing.”
Gosselin fell pregnant and gave birth to six babies in 2004, playing on the TV series TLC Jon and Kate plus 8 Alongside her husband at the time, Jon Gosselin, their six newborns – Aaden, Alexis, Collin, Hannah, Joel and Leah – and their twin daughters, Cara and Mady. (Jon and Kate divorced in 2009 after 10 years of marriage.)

The former reality TV star designed his twins and his sextuplets via various fertility treatments, including intrauterine insemination (IUI).
“Along the way, there was another emergency-in addition to kidney stones, in addition to the hyper-stimulated ovaries before that-there was another emergency, at some point, I started to bleed,” she continued in the video. “I thought of course it was the beginning of a miscarriage [and] I lost them all.

Kate explained that when she was back in the emergency room, she “expected pins and needles” to learn the fate of her pregnancy, adding that technology to ultrasound “protects us a little” to see the photos.
“At one point, she became really silent and I said to myself:” It’s gone, it’s done “and I was really, really frightened,” she added. “Suddenly, she said,” I see six. “And I said,” You see six what?! “And she said:” I see six heartbeat, they are there. ” »»
While Kate was far too early in her pregnancy so that one of the sexual relations of the fetus was revealed, she later posted in the comments section she “always thought” that the seventh fetus would have been a girl if she had carried all of her multiple pregnancy.
“Her name would have been Emma,” she added.
Despite the loss, Kate said that by learning that the other six fetuses were still viable, she was “attached to these babies” and everything you need to maintain pregnancy.
“From that moment, I was in it,” she recalls. “I was going to fight for them. I was going to do anything. Not that I was not before, but just the fact that it had been suspended, I was threatened to lose them, it made me realize how much I already loved them. So it was very miraculous.”
According to the star of reality, her six newborns were born two months before their due dates and delivered in three minutes. Kate could not meet her six children before half a day after birth.
“Family members had already seen them, and I felt like the last to see them,” she said. “I understand that I was in a huge recovery, I really didn’t have your muscle left. I could walk to the bathroom, which may have been 10 feet [away]But that’s all the walk I had done for months.
