Clapping madly and so glad all went well for all of them. There’s a lot of aunts and uncles to help out.

This is a great story, well excect for the medical experts who wanted to cancel her babies. Dr. Poole to the rescue.

Dr. Poole told ABC7

Good news everybody! Dr. Poole's School of Linguistics has really taken off!

True experts realize the limits of their knowledge.

That’s why people do scientific research.

no mention of a father, a family surname from him... or the dad/father who is ominously absent from all reporting.

instant divorce, departure and massive child support burden.
glad she did not abort.

but unless he is dead, he should have been referred to or named somewhere. the “i don’t need no man” crowd needs to be informed. Prayers to God for her and her children... and the missing father. dude, you did it... so step up and take your place at the family ‘table’.

Waiting until age 36 is risky.

One of the daughters has the middle name Gianna. Does she know the story of St. Gianna Beretta Molla?

Her first OBGYN dropped her after the mom of five refused to "reduce" the number of babies.

"Reduce" means "kill" ... in case anyone was unclear on the concept.

the dad/father who is ominously absent from all reporting.

Perhaps "deliberately absent", to promote the idea that fathers are irrelevant?

More here: https://nypost.com/2025/08/19/us-news/single-mom-who-is-a-quadruplet-gives-birth-to-rainbow-quintuplets-after-losing-first-child/

(Excerpt of additional info)

A single mother who was born a quadruplet delivered a set of premature quintuplet “rainbow babies” in Texas after the loss of her first child.

Troia celebrated her new pentad as her “rainbow babies” — a term frequently used to refer to the first child born after a miscarriage, stillborn, or infant death.

Theresa Troia, a 36-year-old nurse consultant, delivered five babies via cesarean section on June 3 at just 28 weeks of gestation.

Troia gave birth to three daughters, including Isabella and Viviana, and two boys.

Troia didn’t undergo any fertility treatments to conceive the quints and was originally told she would be having quadruplets until one of the fetuses “[chose] to make a grand entrance by splitting into TWO,” she wrote on Facebook.

Isabella and Viviana are identical monochorionic-diamniotic, or Mo-Di, twins, meaning they shared a placenta in utero but grew in amniotic sacs.

Could this be invitro where normally they reduce the number implanted. The reduction is why some churches preach against it. Having one at this age has elevated risk much more with five.

Wonder if this is a single mom. If not, was the husband (or partner) on board with keeping all five? What is liability of any third party: husband, partner, physician, and government?

“Troia, who says their biological dad is not involved, tells PEOPLE her five babies are still in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit, where they’re receiving care from the “amazing” team there.”
