One incredible story comes from Kraków, where a Polish woman, already a mother to seven children aged between 10 months and 12 years, gave birth to quintuplets in a hospital in the southern city. “We had planned to have an eighth child but then it turned out to be a lot more,” Dominika Clarke, who is married to her British husband named Vince, told reporters. The babies were born via cesarean section at 29 weeks and will require respiratory support. “We hope to reach the joyful moment of her discharge from the hospital,” said Ryszard Lauterbach, head of the Kraków Hospital’s neonatology department. The children, three girls and two boys, are named Arianna Daisy, Charles Patrick, Elizabeth May, Evangeline Rose and Henry James. Ms Clarke called her pregnancy a “miracle” because the chance of having quintuplets is 1 in 52 million, according to the hospital.
