Woman gives birth to 5 baby girls in 6 months of pregnancy

April 3, 2016

Raipur, Apr 3: In what Chhattisgarh doctors claimed to be the first case in India, a woman gave birth to Quintuplets (five babies at once), that too in just six months of pregnancy.

All the pre-mature baby girls who were born at district hospital in Ambikapur on Saturday morning have been kept in Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) because of their low-birth weight.

The hospital staff called them "five star" babies and rightly so because they are probably the "most premature" quintuplets babies born in India so far. The proud parents, 25-year-old Manita Kumari and her husband Mahesh are happy to have five baby girls and are praying for each child to remain alive.

Manita is a house-wife and had lost her first pre-mature child after three months of her birth in 2014.

The babies born through normal delivery, around 10 am on Saturday, are so tiny that they could fit in single tray. Even being the pre-mature quintuplets, all the body parts of the new born are fully developed. For the record, a foetus's lungs, brain and eyes are hardly fully developed in the fifth month or the second trimester. The one with the lowest weight among the five is of 1 kg while the heaviest is of 1.5 kg.

"Our gynaecologist's observation says that the babies are premature and took birth in between six to seven months of pregnancy. They all have very low birth weight (LBW) and the survival of such LBW children in the best of hospitals is abysmally low," said Dr NP Pandey, chief superintendent of Ambikapur district hospital.

Mangaluru, Jun 11: City police on Thursday filed a 700-page chargesheet in connection with the arrest of Aditya Rao, 36, accused of planting an IED at Mangaluru International Airport on January 20.

The chargesheet said the bag placed near MIA entrance had a real bomb, as per the FSL report. The IED in the tin box was made of sulphur, ammonium nitrate, potassium chlorate and charcoal.

Rao, an engineer, who learnt bomb-making through online videos, had also placed a timer along with it and sharp objects such as nails and metals. However, he had not fixed wires to trigger a blast. “His intention was not to cause a blast but only to create a scare,” said sources.

The bomb was made in less than two weeks. However, it had taken Rao several days to procure raw materials. Police had completed the chargesheet process in April.
