Mrs Carroll, 30, of Dallas County, Texas, had spent weeks in a hospital in Birmingham, Alabama, waiting for the birth, which took place by Caesarean section on Saturday morning between 8:05am and 8:08am.
More than 50 medical professionals at Brookwood Medical Center helped in the delivery of the five girls and one boy, who were described as healthy and ranging in weight from 1lbs 10oz to 2lbs 5oz.
Mr Carroll wears six ID bracelets to allow him to visit his newborns and told The Birmingham News he was ‘on top of the world’. ‘Everything this morning was perfect,’ he said.
Dr Bill McKenzie said in a hospital statement. 'Heather and Mitchell Carroll were committed to this journey, their family and community were supportive, and God was faithful.
‘I am so proud of this mother’s toughness and appreciative for the excellent preparation and care she received at Brookwood Medical Center.’
The Carroll household more than doubled in size with the births of the six babies, as the couple now have nine children.
Hospital staff were so prepared for the birth that they had performed six formal run throughs and each baby had its own care team for the delivery, reported The Birmingham News.
