Birth of a child is a happy moment for the parents and the family, sometime this happiness gets doubled if twins are born but a couple’s happiness has increased five times as they become parents to five babies at once.
A very interesting and unique case has come into light in which a woman named Anita (27 yrs) from Chatra, Jharkhand district has given birth to 5 babies at the same time and that too, within 7 months (28 weeks) of conceiving. Though all the baby girls are underweight and premature, their health is good and currently they are under observation in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Units).
The information was provided by Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences on Twitter with the photo of the babies. The tweet read, “रिम्स के महिला एवं प्रसूति विभाग में इटखोरी चतरा की एक महिला ने पांच बच्चों को जन्म दिया है। बच्चें NICU में डाक्टरों की देखरेख में हैं। डॉ शशि बाला सिंह के नेतृत्व में सफल प्रसव कराया गया।” (A woman from Itkhori Chatra has given birth to five children in the women and childbirth department of RIMS, babies are under observation of doctors in NICU, the successful delivery of the five children was carried out under the leadership of Dr Shashi Bala Singh.)
The name of the father is Prakash Sau and he told that Anita was transferred to RIMS in Ranchi because her treatment was not possible at the hospital in Chatra.
Such kids are known as quintuplets and such births take place in 1 in 55 million births. The first registered quintuplets were identical female Canadian Dionne Quintuplets, which were born in the year 1934.
Congratulations to the parents and the family!
