The Busby quintuplets (born April 8, 2015),[2] also known as the Busby Quints, are the first set of all female quintuplets born in the United States. Their childhood was documented on TLC's reality series, OutDaughtered (2016–2024).
Birth
[edit]The quintuplets were conceived by intrauterine insemination,[4] and they were born by C-Section in four minutes, on April 8, 2015, at 28 weeks, at the Woman's Hospital of Texas in Houston, Texas.[5][6][7] They remained in the NICU for eight to twelve weeks and they required modest support for their breathing.[8] Their birth weights ranged from 2 pounds to 2 pounds 6 ounces.[9] They are the first-ever surviving all-female quintuplets born in the United States, and the first in the world since 1969.[10] Olivia and Ava are identical twins.[11] Ava was also the last to leave the hospital.[12]
OutDaughtered
[edit]On May 10, 2016, TLC released the first episode of OutDaughtered, a reality series who documented the life of Adam and Danielle Busby, being parents of six girls -their older daughter Blayke (born 2011), and the quintuplets.[13] Season 10, which aired on May 7, 2024, was the last season to premiere.[14]
