A 49-year-old Nigerian mother, Doris Levi Wilson, has delivered sextuplets naturally—just six years after conceiving twins following 21 years of infertility. Her incredible story highlights perseverance, traditional treatments, and family support.

A Remarkable Natural Delivery at 49

A 49-year-old Nigerian woman, Deaconess Doris Levi Wilson, has stunned many after giving birth to sextuplets naturally, including four girls and two boys. The birth comes six years after she welcomed her first set of twins.

Many mothers of multiples usually undergo cesarean sections, making her natural delivery even more extraordinary.

21 Years of Waiting Before Her First Pregnancy

According to BBC Pidgin, Doris, who hails from Bayelsa State, waited 21 years after her 1994 marriage before conceiving her first children.

She and her husband, Levi Wilson, sought help from hospitals across Nigeria, trying various medical treatments with no success.

Turning to Traditional Herbal Remedies

After years of disappointment, Doris turned to local herbal treatments, drinking mixtures made from spices and medicinal plants.
She believes these traditional remedies helped her conceive:

• Twins in 2015 — Peremobowei Prince & Peremoboere Princess

• Sextuplets in 2024 — Miracle, Mercy, Merit, Marvis, Marvellous & Mirabel

The sextuplets were born on February 9.

No Ultrasound, No Warning — Only Surprise

Remarkably, Doris had no idea she was carrying six babies because she never had an ultrasound scan.
Women at the local treatment center who massaged her belly would guess the number — but nobody expected six.

The truth was revealed only during delivery.

A Husband’s Support Through Every Step

Levi remained supportive throughout the journey and expressed deep joy at the arrival of all eight children.

He also emphasized the importance of fertility testing for men, noting that difficulty conceiving is not always due to the woman.

Open to More Children at Nearly 50

Now a mother of eight, Doris says she waited so long to experience motherhood that she remains open to having more children — even at almost 50.
