Doctors were amazed when a Czech woman gave birth to quintuplets, saying it was the first time in the history of the country.
Kinova was in shock when she was told the news, and she originally believed she would have twins.
“When we finally found a fifth head, I started to cry,” she said, adding that she and her partner have a family history of multiples.
Doctors then noted how rare the quintuples are in the country, saying no record exists.
The Mail noted that the babies were born healthy with no complications.
Recent photos show that the children, who are now 6 years old, are healthy and thriving.
“The girl is named Tereza, the identical twins Michael and Deniel and we also have Alex and Martin,” 26-year-old father Antonin Kroscen said, according to News.com.au. “I’m very happy,” he added. The parents already have a young son.
It’s been a few years since her unique pregnancy, but it’s a once in a lifetime event.
It continues: “Nearly all quintuplet pregnancies result in a cesarean delivery. The average birth weight of a quintuplet is about 2 pounds, 12 ounces and most quintuplets receive medical care in a hospital NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) until they reach their original birth date.”
