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.

Chhattisgarh

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.

Bengaluru, Jul 31: Gyms in Bengaluru carried out sanitation work on Thursday following the Centre's nod to reopen gyms from August 5, after several weeks of COVID-induced lockdowns.

"We are taking all the precautionary measures prescribed by the government and will follow the guidelines very strictly. A thermal scanner, oximeter and hand sanitizers have been placed at the entrance of the gym. 

We request all other gym owners also to follow the guidelines strictly to keep their members safe and healthy," said Prasad Kumar, a gym owner in Bangalore.

He added, "The last few months have been very difficult for us gym owners and fitness instructors. We are very grateful to the government for allowing us to re-open. 

We are going to be very cautious when we open. Even before this COVID-19 pandemic, we used to sanitise all the equipment before and after every use so hopefully, this won't be too difficult for us. We are getting rid of the air conditioners to allow cross ventilation and open the space a little more."

According to Chandu Gowda, an actor and frequenter of the gym, working out at home was not the same as working out in the gym with the proper equipment.

"I'm very glad that I get to come back and work out as I used to before this lockdown. For an actor, working out is extremely important, not just for my physical health but also mental health. 

Doing exercises at home is never as good as exercising in a space dedicated to one purpose. I hope other members of the gym follow the rules and regulations religiously," Gowda said.
