The old saying assures us that ‘Mum knows best’, and this was truly the case for proud mum-of-five Susan Thompson.

 

Susan, who welcomed quintuplets into the world 20 years ago, got in touch with Love What Matters to share a very special dedication to her children.

 

She revealed that she fell pregnant at 28, and when the scan revealed that it was quints, she was urged by doctors and specialists alike to undergo selective reduction.

 

 

Under this procedure, medics would try to reduce the number of foetuses in Susan’s womb, for medical reasons.

 

Despite the fact that Susan and her husband were totally against this idea, pressure from their medical team ‘went on for several months’.

 

She recalled: “My husband and I never considered this, not for a second. God had given us these tiny children, and He would take care of them. 20 years later, I look back and can’t imagine our lives without any of them.”

 

 

Indeed, they went on to welcome all five babies, who are now pursuing careers in the military service and the medical field.

 

Reflecting on her choice, a devoted Susan added: “They are all responsible adults who love God and make this world a better place. I chose to save their lives, and now they are saving the lives of others.”

 

What an inspiring story.
