Ethiopian Mother Naturally Delivers Healthy Quintuplets After 12-Year Wait
A 35-year-old Ethiopian woman has given birth to quintuplets after 12 years of trying to conceive. She delivered four boys and one girl by cesarean section at a specialized hospital in Ethiopia. Doctors say her natural pregnancy was extremely rare—about a one in 55 million chance—and occurred without the use of IVF. The newborns weigh between 2.8 lbs and 3 lbs each and are all in good health under hospital care. The mother, who had prayed for a single child, described her joy at being ‘‘blessed with five at once.’’ Her husband, who has a child from a previous marriage living with them, shares in the family’s celebration.
