The 48-year-old woman
from Melbourne, Australia gave birth to two boys and three girls by
caesarean section today.
Tragically one of the
girls died before the birth.
A team of 30 specialists
including paediatricians, anaesthetists and nursing staff delivered the five
babies, the first quintuplets in Melbourne for three decades.
The chances of
conceiving quintuplets naturally are about one in 55 million, doctors say.
A spokesman for Monash
Medical Centre where the historical birth took place said: ‘Mum is doing well.
‘One unfortunately did
not make it.’
The four surviving
babies will be cared for around the clock in the hospital's neonatal intensive
care unit.
