Woman gives birth to 5 children after thinking she was pregnant with one baby

A woman has given birth to five healthy daughters in just half an hour despite only thinking she was pregnant with one child. Metro UK reported.

Manita Singh, 25, was admitted to a local government hospital in Ambikapur, in Chhattisgarh in eastern India, 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.

Doctors are now supervising the quintuplets in the hope all of them will survive.

Manita 25, was admitted to hospital in Ambikapur, in Chhattisgarh in eastern India, on Saturday morning.

Mahesh Singh, 26, the father of the infants is extremely happy with the birth of his daughters.

‘I only hope that they all survive and I can give them a wonderful life.’

Dr Tekam, who led the team of doctors in the delivery, said: ‘This is the first case in my career where I have delivered five babies through normal birth.

‘While they are healthy, we cannot say if they will survive. However, we are doing every bit to save them.’
