Sextuplet baby boy loses fight for life as parents 'hope and pray' the others will survive By and and Updated: 03:09 GMT, 22 May 2010 One of the newborn British sextuplets has lost his fight for life, it emerged last night. The parents of the six tiny babies, Andy and Vicky Lamb, both 31, had the four girls and two boys after taking a fertility drug. Yesterday morning the couple had been 'praying for a small miracle' as their huge brood fought for their lives in a specialist intensive care unit. But, soon after, one of the little boys - who like all his siblings weighed under 2lb - died. Tragedy: One of the sextuplets born at Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital has died The sextuplets - who are the first to be born in England since 1993 - arrived 14 weeks early, weighing between 1lb 5oz and 1lb 15oz, on May 14. Doctors have said the next few days will be critical. Mr and Mrs Lamb, of Abingdon, Oxfordshire, are being represented by publicist Max Clifford, who yesterday morning appeared on GMTV to speak about their plight. Mr Clifford said the couple, who are with their babies at the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford, were 'hoping and praying that everything is going to be okay - but they realise they are praying for a small miracle'. He added that Mrs Lamb became pregnant-after taking the same fertility drug she used before she conceived her first daughter, Gracie, now five. Talking about when the couple might be able to take their new children home, Mr Clifford added: 'It is a long way off. They are fighting for their lives, they are still critical.' Chief executive of the Twins and Multiple Births [https://www.dict.cc/?s=Association Association] [https://www.healthynewage.com/?s=Keith%20Reed Keith Reed] said the births were 'amazing', and added: 'Around half of the 11,000 multiple birth babies end up being cared for in a neonatal intensive care unit. 'Families in this situation face a rollercoaster of emotions and we all wish the whole Lamb family well.' The Lambs thanked well-wishers who have inundated them with cards and messages of support, Mr Clifford added. Brood: Janet and Graham Walton with their six daughters in 1983. They were the world's first surviving all-female sextuplets The babies are currently under the care of experts in the neonatal intensive care unit of the John Radcliffe Hospital. Live births of such a high number of babies are incredibly rare and sextuplets is estimated to occur in just one in every 4.5million pregnancies. The next few days and weeks are said to be ‘critical' for the siblings, who are dependent on a vast array of medical equipment and the devotion of experts for their survival. Staff in the hospital said they felt ‘privileged' to have played a part in the birth, which had been the subject of meticulous planning over several weeks. There were different teams of medical staff to look after the mother and each of her babies. Consultant neonatologist Dr Kenny McCormick said: ‘The next few days and weeks will be critical. Babies that are born this early need a lot of specialist care. ‘They are receiving round-the-clock intensive care and specialist nursing at the moment and their condition is constantly monitored.' Walton wonders: Lucy, Ruth, Jenny, Hannah, kate and Sarah Walton Mr Clifford said Mrs Lamb fell pregnant after taking the same fertility drug she used before the pregnancy of her first child, Gracie, now aged five. 'They are just incredibly grateful for the John Radcliffe Hospital, the doctors and the nurses,' he said. Talking about when the couple might be able to take the six home, Mr Clifford added: 'It is a long way off. They are fighting for their lives, they are still critical.' While medical advances have made it possible for a more premature babies to survive, the last sextuplets known to have been born in England were delivered in 1986 [https://www.garnelenshop-bayern.de/Aqua-Art Schnecken und Schadstoffen - optimal für Garnelen und empfindliche Fische - bestes Preis-/Leistungverhältnis] three years after the famous Waltons. Susan Coleman had used fertility drugs to help get pregnant and against all odds, six healthy babies were born to her and policeman husband Arthur. Stuart, Gary, James, Jayne, Hannah and Nichola were born on November 12 at Homerton Hospital in London after 32 weeks and were brought up in Stoke Orchard, near Cheltenham. Most sextuplets are conceived via invitro fertilisation. Doctors implant multiple embryos in case of some miscarrying, in an attempt to increase the success rate of the treatment. They then recommend reducing the number of embryos, a practice which is at the centre of some ethical debate. But last year sextuplets born in Northern Ireland were conceived without IVF. Austin and Nuala Conway welcomed the arrival of their ‘beautiful little miracles'. The four baby boys and two girls, arrived into the world in just five minutes. Mrs Conway and her husband Austin, both now 27, had defied medical advice to abort some of the babies at 14 weeks to increase their chances of survival. But tragically, after only 60 days of life, Kerrie Mae Conway, the youngest of the six, died in hospital with her parents at her bedside. They too were born 14 weeks premature and weighing from 1lb 7ounces to 2lb 2ounces they were immediately put into intensive care. Last year in the U.S. Nadya Suleman gave birth to octuplets in California. She later faced criticism after it emerged that she was a single mother who already had six children, all conceived through IVF. The 34-year-old had no means of supporting the babies, three of whom were born disabled She was also accused of cashing-in on them when she signed a £175,000 deal for all 14 of her children to star in a reality TV show over the next three years. Three years ago a Russian woman also gave birth to quintuplets at the same Oxford hospital. Vavara Artamkin, a 29-year-old music teacher, gave birth to Elizaveta, Alexandra, Nadezhda, Tatiana and Varvara in November 2007. They were delivered by Caesarean section by a team of 18 doctors and nurses. Doctors in Russia had urged Mrs Artamkin to have selective terminations, but she refused to have abortions on religious grounds.
