Czech woman naturally pregnant with Quints
Alexandra Kinova, 23, is set to do her country proud as she prepares to pop out the Czech Republic's first set of naturally conceived quintuplets. Kinova, who already has a son, said she was in shock when doctors told her the twins she was expecting were actually five rugrats set to completely ruin her 20s. With the odds of naturally conceiving quintuplets around one in several million, it's a lot like winning the lottery ? but in reverse. "When he finally found a fifth head, I started to cry," she said. The five infants are scheduled to be delivered by cesarean section this weekend and Kinova bravely plans on breastfeeding them all. Good luck, Mama!

I'm pretty certain I'd have a heart attack. She must be horribly uncomfortable... I can't even imagine.
I'm pretty sure I would too.
This is crazy.... Good luck to her, but man, I would never ever ever be able to take care of so many infants at once. Newp.
Yikes! I am going to stop complaining about my aches and pains after seeing that picture.
I was watching a special this morning as I was getting ready for work. A family had septuplets and they were all crying at once. She had them all on a rug while they screamed. She would pick one up for a few seconds, put him/her down, and do the same with another. It gave me heart palpitations just watching it.

It is a shock (ultrasound).
You and I have first ultrasounds on the same day
My cousin keeps telling me she thinks it's twins.
Who wrote this article? It sounds ridiculously biased. "it was actually 5 rugrats set to completely ruin her 20s".... Jesus.
Good luck to her!
I wouldn't mind twins, but we'd need a bigger place! DH may lose his mind...but that could be entertaining.
Good luck on Tuesday! We'll be telling parents, family and friends that day. We haven't told anyone yet!
Only people that know for us is DH's cousin who is a P.A. and his wife. We had all sorts of questions for him since I was cramping. We are telling everyone at our Fourth of July party. It couldn't feel farther away!
