Czech Mother Pregnant With The Country's First Naturally Conceived Quintuplets

A Czech mother has become the first ever in her country to be pregnant with quintuplets without an IVF treatment.
Alexandra Kinova, 23, is due to give birth by Caesarean section on Sunday to the Czech Republic's first ever set of quins.

Ms Kinova, who already has one son, did not realise she was carrying five babies until last month.
At first doctors said she was having twins but in March staff at the Prague Institute for the Care of Mother and Child said she was actually pregnant with four children.
However, it was not until the following month that she finally discovered she was having quintuplets.

She said: 'When we finally found a fifth head, I started to cry.'
According to local media, her children will be the country's first set of quins.
Kinova said both she and her partner have a family history of twins. 

Aww! that tommy looks like it's going to burst right now. God please this is the kind I want, but triplets, need to have it once and for all :-) By the way, the young mother is very beautiful.

Twins Born An Extraordinary 87 Days Apart Could Win Guinness World Record

Twins Amy and Katie Jones-Elliott could win a Guinness World Record after they were born 87 days apart.
The babies survived after their 34-year-old mum Maria went into labour four months early, giving birth to Amy on June 1, 2012 while sister Katie was born nearly three months later on August 27. Both girls have since been declared fit and healthy by medical professionals.

Maria, who is from Ireland, called the girls "little miracles" after their recovery. Consultant obstetrician Dr Eddie O'Donnell said that Amy and Katie's successful delivery was the medical equivalent of winning the lottery.
Amy and Katie's miracle births could now win a Guinness World Record for the 'longest interval between the birth of twins'.

Guinness World Records spokesman Damian Field said:"If the claim of 87 days between the birth of the twins is substantiated, they will break the world record."
The current record is held by Peggy Lynn of Pennsylvania, who gave birth to twins 84 days apart.
