facts verse presents mom thinks she's
having twins and then makes history when
a couple finds out that they're pregnant
it's a very exciting time when Alexandra
Canova and her partner Antonin from the
Czech Republic found out that they were
having a baby they were thrilled she was
23 years old at the time and she wasn't
nervous about having a baby at all she
already had one child so she knew what
to expect she assumed that her second
baby would be a breeze when she went to
the doctor though she got information
she never expected this mom thought she
was having twins but doctors quickly
learned that she is making history with

when Alexandra had her ultrasound she
found out that she was carrying twins
she couldn't believe her luck she was
going to be a mother of three rather
than a mother of two for months she
began planning for twins a few months
later the doctors ordered another
ultrasound at this visit they discovered
that Alexandra was not having twins
when she first heard the news she
assumed the doctors meant that one of
the babies have maybe passed away in
utero what she found out though was the
real story and she couldn't believe it
the doctors told her nope she wasn't
carrying twins she was carrying nope not
triplets quadruplets four babies not
twins but quadruplets
they had to scramble to start buying
things for two more babies than they
were expecting they originally thought
that they would have two children
suddenly they were gonna have five
children at all as with most multiple
births the doctors had Alexandra come in
for another ultrasound
Alexandra thought this one would just be
no surprise because they already knew
about the four babies while she was
wrong
the ultrasound this time showed a fifth
baby Alexandra was carrying an
astonishing five babies that's
quintuplets the doctors said that since
there were so many babies in her bed
it was difficult to get an accurate read
on the ultrasound because there were so
many babies in her belly and they were
constantly moving around they couldn't
figure out the genders for their unborn
brood the babies were playing
hide-and-seek so they had really no idea
of the gender of the babies until the
day Alexandre gave birth with Alexandra
went into labor there were 40 people in
the room to take care of Alexandra and
her upcoming five babies according to
the chief medical doctor in the neonatal
unit the births took place without any
complications Alexandra and Antonin were
so happy with their new family
Alexandra gave birth to four boys she
named them Daniel Michael Alex and
Martin then she gave birth to a girl and
named her tereska
while Alexandra knew that six children
would be a lot of work remember she
already had one at home she is happy and
her family is now complete one of the
obstetricians in the room that day Alena
Makarova did some research after
Alexandra gave birth she found out that
the family made local history on the day
those babies were born she was
interviewed for the Telegraph the OB
stated in our country birth statistics
have been recorded since 1949 and there
is no mention of any quintuplets in the
Czech Republic
quintuplets are born only on an average
of maybe once every 480 years what makes
this story even more astonishing is that
the odds of conceiving quadruplets
naturally just for babies is one in
seven million we have yet to get the
stats for having quintuplets naturally
most of the quintuplets that are born
around the world are a product of IVF or
some other type of fertility treatment
according to Alexandra twins naturally
run in her family twins also ran in
Antonin spamela because of their
combined family history it's no wonder
she gave birth to five babies at once
according to Alexandra she never
expected to be a local celebrity when
she found out that she was pregnant but
that was exactly what happened when word
of the babies spread they were featured
in new segments and in newspaper
articles people from all over offered
donations to the family to help them
support their new family they also have
plenty of friends and family
members who are willing to come by and
help take care of the babies
Alexandra says that she is the luckiest
mom in the world this history-making
family has a very happy and loving
future ahead of them subscribe for more
