Alexandra Kinova and her husband Antonin went through something that would change their lives forever in 2013. The Czech couple was thrilled to hear that Alexandra was pregnant again. They already had a young son. But they were even more excited when they found out they were going to have not one, not two, but five kids.
The first ultrasound showed twins, but the second one showed quadruplets. Another surprise was waiting for them: Alexandra was pregnant with quintuplets, which only happens once every seven million pregnancies.
People paid more attention to Alexandra as her belly got bigger. The couple became famous all over the world, and papers all over the world wrote about their amazing story.
Forty people from the hospital were there on the day the quintuplets were born to welcome them. The parents were thrilled to meet their five children: Daniel, Michael, Alex, Martin, and Terezka. The birth went smoothly, thank goodness.
Alexandra was the first woman in the Czech Republic to give birth to quintuplets without using fertility treatments. She did this through a C-section.
Antonin almost missed the birth because of traffic, but he joined his wife in crying tears of joy. The family of seven was ready to start their new life together after a short stay in the urgent care unit.
Dr. Alena Mechurova says that this unique birth was the first one that had been recorded in Czech history since 1949. Every 480 years, on average, five sets of twins are born in the Czech Republic.
