Mum gives birth to SIX babies in just nine minutes defying one in 4.7 billion odds

A MUM gave birth to six babies  — two sets of twin boys and one lot of twin girls — in just nine minutes.

Defying remarkable odds of one in 4.7billion, Thelma Chiaka delivered her sextuplets between 4.50am and 4.59am on Friday at the Woman’s Hospital of Texas in Houston.

The babies weighed between 1lb 12oz to 2lb and 14oz.

All six were in stable condition while receiving care in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit.

Thelma has named her baby daughters Zina and Zuriel.

But, perhaps unsurprisingly, she has been too tired to name the four boys by the time the news was released on the hospital’s Facebook page.

A photo showed a smiling Thelma with family member Ebere Ofor along with Dr Ziad Haidar, who delivered the babies and Dr Israel Simchowitz the neonatologist.

The odds of giving birth to sextuplets is one in 4.7 billion.

A statement from the hospital said: “The Woman’s Hospital of Texas, an HCA Houston Healthcare Affiliate, which delivers more babies than any other Texas hospital, early [Friday] morning welcomed sextuplets, the odds of which are estimated at one in 4.7 billion.”
