The entire country is under lockdown till May 3. Everyone is waiting for the lockdown to end soon. Amid the lockdown a shocking news has doing the rounds on social media.

A woman has given birth to five children at a community health center in Barabanki, Suratganj in Uttar Pradesh. Doctors are also surprised in this case. All the children are underweight and have been kept in NICU. The woman gave birth in her 7th month of pregnancy.

CHC in-charge Dr. Rajarshi Tripathi said that such cases are called quintuplets in which multiple deliveries take place. As a precaution, women and children have been asked to go to a hospital in Lucknow.

Anita Gautam (age 32) of Kutlupur in Suratganj gave birth to five children. Her husband Kundan Gautam said a child was born after his wife Anita went to the bathroom in the morning in pain.

At eight in the morning, four children were born there. Doctors rushed the five children and his wife to the district women's hospital.

Dr. Indrabhuvan Tiwari, Pediatrician, District Women's Hospital, said that Anita gave birth prematurely in 7 months. A child has a head injury. The rest are fine but premature birth can lead to problems in full development of blood vessels, brain, lungs, eyes and heart of the child.

Dr. Rajarshi Tripathi said the case is called Quintuplet. All children are underweight, so first of all we have the challenge of normalizing the weight of these children.
