After ᴍɪsᴄᴀʀʀɪᴀɢᴇ A Child The Woman Became A Mother Of Nine Children Overnight
Just one more. That was the idea when Amy and Chad Kempel decided to try for another child. Of course, as we all know when it comes to kids and family, there’s very little that goes as planned.

The ᴛʀᴇᴀᴛᴍᴇɴᴛ was a success. The couple learned Amy was pregnant with twin boys. Sᴀᴅʟʏ, their ᴇxᴄɪᴛᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ ᴇɴᴅᴇᴅ ɪɴ ʜᴇᴀʀᴛʙʀᴇᴀᴋ when she went into ᴘʀᴇᴛᴇʀᴍ ʟᴀʙᴏʀ at 22 weeks. While the boys, named Marshall and Spencer, were born ᴀʟɪᴠᴇ, they were not developed enough to live beyond the hospital and never made it home.

“After losing Marshall and Spencer, before our oldest daughter Savannah was born, that really changed my view on what I thought it would be like to be pregnant,” says Amy. “After trying again to have a baby after we lost the twins I was nervous every day. Am I going to ʟᴏsᴇ the baby today? Am I going to have a ᴘʀᴇᴛᴇʀᴍ baby? I couldn’t enjoy the pregnancy experience and the process of trying to get pregnant.


“Right away we were thinking if Amy’s body wasn’t able to hold two babies (to term) then how the hell is it going to hold five?” says Chad. “ We were terrified.”
The Kempels went into survival mode trying to find the best doctors to handle their situation to keep Amy healthy and pregnant for as long as possible. They also tried to mentally wrap their heads around what the future of their family could look like.
