The five babies in hospital in India (Picture: Caters) |
A woman has given birth to five healthy daughters in just half
an hour despite only thinking she was pregnant with one child.
Manita Singh, 25, was admitted to a local government
hospital in Ambikapur, in Chhattisgarh in eastern India, yesterday morning
after complaining of labour pains at 26 weeks of pregnancy.
The doctors, who started delivering the babies at 11am found
she was carrying not one but five baby girls – because Manita had never had an
ultrasound.
The babies, all weighing just over 3lbs each, are under
doctor’s supervision in the neo-natal Intensive Care Unit.
The father of the infants, Mahesh Singh, 26, is extremely
happy with the birth of his daughters.
