About three years ago, many media wrote about this married couple. Of course, for Primorye, and for Russia, the birth of quintuplets is a real event!
Fortunately, this time the pregnancy was saved up to 32 weeks and the woman was being prepared for a planned caesarean section. For her, this operation was very difficult, her mother was very weak and the doctors literally fought for her life. When her condition stabilized, the doctor entered the ward and stunned: “Nastya, you have to live. There are five babies waiting for you.” It turned out that one girl “hid” behind her brothers and was not seen on the ultrasound.
The Merkulovs were very happy, because their most cherished dream came true! They were often asked how they cope with so many small children? When the kids were still very young, Anastasia managed on her own, and her husband helped after work, and after six months, when they began to crawl, Alexander arranged a vacation to make it easier for his wife.
A large family lives in a house that they inherited from their grandmother. Despite all the difficulties, the couple’s feelings only became stronger. The husband supports his wife in everything – he nurses the children, plays the guitar and feeds them.
“We still love each other, nothing has changed, only now we have more responsibility in the form of our kids,” Anastasia noted on her social page.
