A woman in Pakistan has given birth to 6 healthy babies, after going for a routine check-up at a private medical clinic.

The woman was delivered of 4 girls and 2 boys at the hospital in the Bannu district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

According to doctors, the sextuplets and their mother (names withheld), were all healthy and in stable condition after their birth on Friday.

Daily Mail report:

However, the family, from the Datta Khel area of North Waziristan were later moved to the Combined Military Hospital in Bannu for further observation. 

The woman had gone to the clinic for a routine appointment to see how her pregnancy was progressing, although she later gave birth to her six children.

 ‘The mother and her children are in stable and healthy condition,’ a gynaecologist at the hospital told Dawn.com.

Earlier this month, another mother gave birth to quadruplets in the Bhakkar district of Punjab, India.

In October a 35-year-old housewife, named Sabira, gave birth to quintuplets – three girls and two boys –  at the Khyber Teaching Hospital in Peshawar.

Sabira, who already had two older children aged eight and four with her husband Ibrahim, 40, had been rushed to hospital for emergency treatment, although she and the newborns were allowed to leave for home soon afterwards. 

That same month another woman had three boys and a girl in the Mianwalki district of Punjab, while in June a woman had five babies at the Government Allama Iqbal Memorial DHQ Hospital, also in Punjab.

She gave birth to four sons and a daughter, although one boy and the girl died just a few hours after their birth.
