Mumbai woman gives birth to India's first male quintuplets

A 24-year-old woman gave birth to five babies at a private hospital in Mumbai.

Sabeera Khan, a housewife from Mira Road, delivered male quintuplets at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital here.

According to hospital souses, the woman, who already has a 10-month-old baby boy, is doing well. Of the five babies, two are on ventilator and the remaining in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

It is the first case of male quintuplets in India where all babies have survived. In earlier cases, not all babies have survived with some of them dying within hours.
