Biography

The siblings were the first surviving sextuplets to be born in the USA.

The parents of the sextuplets, Becki and Keith Dilley, met as co-workers at a Wendy's restaurant in Indiana. They married and attempted to conceive for 5 years without results.[1] Following consultation with a doctor, they were told they had little chance of conceiving naturally. Following several more years of trying to conceive, they underwent fertility treatment using the drug Pergonal. The sextuplets were conceived as a result of this.[1]

Throughout the pregnancy, all ultrasounds showed five babies. After five had been delivered the doctor reached in to retrieve the placenta and grabbed a foot instead, and said, "There's a sixth baby." Everyone initially thought she was kidding, but she wasn't.[1] The sixth was hiding behind the mother's spleen.[2]

The Dilley children have appeared on a few television segments, but say that they don't want to live life "under a microscope".

From 1997 the family have lived in Northeastern Indiana.[3]

Popular culture

  • An American film telling the story of the sextuplets' parents prior, and a few years after their births, called Half a Dozen Babies featuring Scott Reeves and Melissa Reeves was made in 1999 for ABC.[4]
