A Texas woman is doing well after giving birth to six babies all within nine minutes of each other at a Houston hospital last week.
Thelma Chiaka welcomed two sets of twin boys and one set of twin girls between 4:50 a.m. and 4:59 a.m. local time on March 15 at The Woman’s Hospital of Texas, the hospital announced.
“The babies were born at weights ranging from one pound, 12 ounces and two pounds, 14 ounces,” hospital officials said in the statement. “They are in stable condition and will continue to receive care in the hospital’s advanced neonatal intensive care unit.”
The odds of having sextuplets are estimated at one in 4.7 billion, the statement read.
Chiaka has named her daughters Zina and Zuriel, according to the hospital, but it is unclear whether she has chosen names for her sons.
A photo shared by the hospital showed a smiling Chiaka in a hospital bed with a relative, Ebere Ofor, and three doctors at her side.
