Octuplets born to California Woman

Dr Alejandro Vasquez and a medical team of 46 at the Bellflower hospital south of Los Angeles have had a long, hard, night.

The delivery of septuplets had gone to plan, beginning at 10.43am with Baby A, and ending with Baby G only four minutes later. What surprised the delivery team was octuplets.

The birth of octuplets to a California woman yesterday morning was just the second such event in US history. A Nigerian-born woman gave birth to eight live babies in Texas in 1998.

The six boys and two girls born yesterday, ranging from 1 pound 8 ounces to 3 pounds 4 ounces, were doing well, said doctors. Two were placed on ventilators, while a third needed oxygen. Each cried immediately after birth and all were expected to stay in hospital for at least two months.

The mother plans to breast-feed all eight babies, said doctors.

Little is known about the mother. She asked to be remain anonymous, and family members declined to speak to the media.

Multiple births, including the last recorded case of octuplets, are usually the result of using of fertility drugs, experts said. Though the doctors refused to comment on this.

The mother came under medical care in the 12th week of pregnancy, and was admitted to hospital and placed on bed rest at 23 weeks.

The only other case recorded of live octuplet births was in Mexico City in 1967. All eight babies unfortunately died within 14 hours.
