A mum in the US has earned the non-existent title of ‘World’s Champion of Child𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡’ after giving 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to six babies in less than 10 minutes.
Thelma Chiaka passed her 𝓈ℯ𝓍tuplets – which were comprised of two pairs of twin boys and one pair of twin boys – between 4.50am and 4.59am on Friday at the Woman’s Hospital of Texas in Houston.
The babies weighed between 1lb 12oz and 2lb and 14oz and were all in a stable condition in the hospital’s advanced neonatal intensive care unit.
The hospital shared the staggering news in a statement, in which it said the chances of Thelma giving 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to 𝓈ℯ𝓍tuplets was one in 4.7 billion… which makes you wonder what the odds are of giving 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to 𝓈ℯ𝓍tuplets in less than 10 minutes.
The statement, which was issued on Friday, read: “The Woman’s Hospital of Texas, an HCA Houston Healthcare Affiliate, which delivers more babies than any other Texas hospital, early this morning welcomed 𝓈ℯ𝓍tuplets, the odds of which are estimated at one in 4.7 billion.
“Two sets of twin boys and one set of twin girls were 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 this morning between 4:50 and 4:59 a.m.
“The babies were 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 at weights ranging from one pound, 12 ounces and two pounds, 14 ounces. They are in stable condition and will continue to receive care in the hospital’s advanced neonatal intensive care unit.
“The medical team of Dr. Ziad Haidar, Dr. Sharmeel Khaira and Dr. Israel Simchowitz say the mother, Thelma Chiaka, is doing well.”
