A Texas woman gave birth to six babies in less time than it takes for most people to commute to work.
On Friday, Thelma Chiaka welcomed six new members to her family all in the span of nine minutes, Woman’s Hospital of Texas announced.
The two sets of twin boys and one set of twin girls were born between 4:50 a.m. and 4:59 a.m.

“The babies were born at weights ranging from one pound, 12 ounces and two pounds, 14 ounces,” the hospital said in a statement. “They are in stable condition and will continue to receive care in the hospital’s advanced neonatal intensive care unit.”
The Woman’s Hospital of Texas said it delivers more babies than any other Texas hospital and the odds of having sextuplets are estimated at 1 in 4.7 billion.
