Daijiworld Media Network - Bangalore
Bangalore, Oct 23: For perhaps the first time in Bangalore, a 21-year-old woman has given birth to quadruplets at a private hospital in the city.
The woman, Nafeesa and her husband Saifulla became parents of two boys and two girls on Friday October 21.
All the babies and the mother are healthy, sources at Cloud Nine Hospital in Jayanagar said.
The babies were born with a space of one-and-a-half minutes, and weigh between 1.03 kg and 1.35 kg. All of them are under observation.
The couple hail from Adanapalle in Andhra Pradesh, and came to Bangalore for the delivery of the babies as it was a risky case.
Dr Leela Bhagwan, senior consultant obstetrician at Cloudnine Hospital, said that the mother came to know she was carrying quadruplets a few months ago. The couple already have a child.
The babies were naturally born, which makes the case even more rare.
