Woman Falls Pregnant With Quintuplets

A 23-year-old woman from the Czech Republic is pregnant with quintuplets without the use of IVF treatment.

According to the Daily Mail, Alexandra Kinova, is due to give birth on Sunday to her country's first ever set of quins.

Ms Kinova, who is already a mother to one, admitted she didn't know she was carrying five babies until last month.

Doctors first thought the young mother was having twins, then in March, staff at the Prague Institute for the Care of Mother and Child said she was pregnant with four children.

However, in April it was revealed that Kinova was expecting five children.

Kinova, who is from Miovice told Czech news site denik.cz that she was shocked by the news.

She added: "When we finally found a fifth head, I started to cry."

According to the local media, this will be the country's first set of quins.

The mother said both she and her partner have a family history of twins, but the odds of conceiving quins naturally is one in several million, experts have said.

Kinova has also experienced few complications in the pregnancy, aside from four months of morning sickness.

Despite the best efforts of the doctors they still do not know the sex of all the babies as two of the children are hidden underneath the other three – two boys and a girl.

It is thought the hospital is to double the number of doctors and midwives for her Caesarean.

They said they have administered drugs to help speed up the development of the babies' lungs but they cannot be sure of their condition until they are born.

Dr Alena Měchurová, head of the hospital, said they hope that all five babies and the mother will be fine but said they cannot rule out complications.
