About this work

Description

This programme follows Julie Carles, pregnant with quadruplets developed from the same egg, as she faces a risky pregnancy and child birth. Professor Nick Fisk, expert in multiple pregnancies, sees her at Queen Charlottes and Chelsea Hospital in London and describes what is happening with this extremely unusual pregnancy. The programme includes graphic footage of cesarian section surgery - the babies are tiny, all girls, the smallest weighing only 1.5 lbs. Miraculously all of the quads survive and the programme ends with Julie and husband Jose at home, rather daunted by the amount of childcare facing them.
