SYDNEY, NSW – JUNE 07: A pregnant woman holds her stomach June 7, 2006 in Sydney, Australia. Australia is currently enjoying a baby boom, with the Australian Bureau of Statistics registering a 2.4% increase in births from 2004 to 2005, which represents the highest number of births since 1992. The Australian Federal Government has been encouraging people to have more babies, with financial incentives and the slogan by treasurer Peter Costello to “have one for mum, one for dad, and one for the country”. The Federal Government has identified falling fertility rates and the ageing population as long-term problems for Australia’s growth and prosperity. (Photo by Ian Waldie/Getty Images)
A couple who have seven children were planning to add an eighth to their family, but they ended up going much bigger. according to Metro, Dominika and Vince Clarke welcomed a set of quintuplets - as in five newborns - on Sunday in Poland. The babies will join their older siblings, who range in age from 12 to 10 months and include one set of twins.
Dominika, who’s from Poland, and James, from the U.K., moved to Poland six years ago, where they run their own business and live in a house in the forest. Their new bundles of joy, two boys and three girls, were delivered by C-section at seven months and all weighed between one-pound nine-ounces and three-pounds one-ounce. The quints are named Charles Patrick, Henry James, Elizabeth May, Evangeline Rose and Arianna Daisy.
The hospital reports that mother and babies are all doing well, and Dominika agrees. “I feel great. Much better than I thought. This is something extraordinary that is not given to everyone,” she explains. “Such a pregnancy occurs once in 52 million. I’m a mathematician. I like such statistics.” She adds that you have a better chance of winning the lottery than having a set of babies like hers.
