During her TikTok saga, the reality TV star detailed the emotional moment she found out she miscarried her baby.

“We had our first ultrasound at six weeks, and there were seven babies,” Gosselin explained. “I think they had us come back the next week — it was either the next week or two weeks; I can’t honestly remember — to see how they had progressed. In between that time, the seventh baby stopped growing.”

The reality TV star said she was going to 'fight' for her sextuplets to survive.

Gosselin continued: “From that point on, I was in it. I was going to fight for them. I was going to do whatever. Not that I wasn’t before, but just the fact that it was dangled, I was threatened with losing them — it made me realize how much I already loved them. So that was very miraculous.”

The 50-year-old has eight children.

Before she was pregnant, the TLC star was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), meaning her body battled a hormonal imbalance as well as insulin resistance, causing a potential threat to a woman’s ability to conceive.

As a result, Gosselin conceived her children through fertility treatments — specifically intrauterine insemination (IUI). Before giving birth to her sextuplets, she welcomed two twin girls.

Kate Gosselin conceived her children through fertility treatments.

When her sextuplets were finally born, Gosselin recalled not being able to see them until nearly one day later, as they were being monitored due to arriving two months prior to their due date.

“Family members had already seen them, and I felt like the last to see them,” she said. “I understand I was in huge recovery; I really had no muscle tone left. I could walk to the bathroom, which was maybe 10 feet [away], but that’s all the walking I had done for months.”
