In which city were 5 children born? A resident of Primorye gave birth to five children at once

Matvey, Maxim, Ignat, Savely and Raisa were born.

The record-breaking mother was discharged from the Primorsky Regional Perinatal Center. A resident of Nakhodka gave birth to five babies. The successful birth of such a large family was made possible thanks to the professional work of doctors.

Matvey, Maxim, Ignat, Savely and Raisa. Four sons and a sweet daughter. The appearance of the fifth baby was a shock for both parents and doctors. This is the first case of the birth of quintuplets not only for the perinatal center, but for the entire Primorye, reports OTV-Prim.

Anastasia Merkulova, mother of quintuplets:

— I was worried... I was worried that I couldn’t stand it, I guess. It was scary! Before this, pregnancies died out. I really wanted to continue this pregnancy. All this thanks only to the perinatal center. Doctors and their attitude.

First, the family from Nakhodka was observed in the local maternity hospital. From the middle of the term he was transferred to the Primorsky Territory perinatal center, since such a difficult birth can be carried out and babies with low body weight can then be helped out in Primorye only here.

Tatyana Kurleeva, chief physician GBUZ "Primorsky Regional Perinatal Center":

“These children were in the pediatric intensive care unit for 10 days. And then for 35 days our little patients, four sons and a sweet daughter, were in the second stage of nursing.

At the second stage of nursing, the father of the family was next to the young mother and babies. He helped and learned with his wife to take care of newborns.

Alexander Merkulov, father of quintuplets:

“They swaddled me, changed diapers, fed me, put me to bed. Everyone did it! Whatever moms do, dads do too. We're one family, right?

We met the hero parents with the whole family at discharge. Grandmothers, grandfathers, sisters of the young mother, who, by the way, are twins.

Kristina Sviridova and Irina Ageeva, sisters:

- We have a lot of children - all of them. We got together. And there are five of her. Fine!

Svetlana Merkulova, grandmother:

- Big family. Our great-grandfather is the richest in great-grandchildren! He was 13. When he found out that his grandson had five, he thought he was already 18. Good!

Colleagues came to congratulate. Chairman of the Primorsky regional branch of the all-Russian movement “Mothers of Russia” Tatyana Zabolotnaya. Social protection. Everyone will help. Young parents receive payments from the state for each child.

Anastasia Bondareva, head of the territorial department of the Department of Labor and social development Primorsky Krai:

— A monthly cash payment will be due. In 2017, the payment is 13 thousand 860 rubles. The payment will be provided until the child reaches three years of age. Payment is assigned per child. Also, regional maternal family capital will be provided for such families. Three certificates will be provided for this family.

According to the regional law, families in which three or more children were born at the same time are entitled to a payment to expand their living space. Calculating 18 square meters for each family member. And, like families with many children, the family will be given a plot of land.

The other day in Odessa, a warrant for housing in a new building was served on a large family. An employee of the municipal enterprise "City Information and Analytical Center" Oksana Kobeletskaya and her husband Sergei Semyonov received a spacious five-room apartment. The young parents had their first child, daughter Alice, three years ago. And at the beginning of her second pregnancy, Oksana unexpectedly learned that the family would soon be expanded by as many as 5 people.

– I signed up for a scheduled ultrasound, but then there were new year holidays– and the reception was postponed to mid-January. At the first ultrasound, the doctor looked at the screen and made a very strange face, of course I was scared. But then she started counting one, two, three, four, five. Yes, she counted only five babies and five beating hearts. My jaw dropped,” Oksana tells Metro. “From that moment on, adventures and long trips to doctors began; we really wanted to carry the pregnancy to term and save all the babies.

According to Oksana, conception occurred naturally. The “quintuplets” were born on June 24 between 9:23 and 9:27 am. The birth was attended by three doctors at once: one for each placenta (the so-called " children's place": a unique organ in women that appears only during pregnancy - Editor's note). There were three placentas in total: one girl, the other two boys and one boy separately. It was not easy to carry them: during pregnancy Oksana gained 23 kilograms At birth, the weight of boys was 1810, 1750, 1450 grams, girls - 1190 and 1250.

– Before giving birth, I was in conservancy for 18 weeks. My husband was actively preparing and making repairs at the dacha so that he would have somewhere to bring us from the maternity hospital. Therefore, when labor began, my husband saw us already in intensive care. There were already too many people in the operating room,” Oksana tells Metro.

Oksana admits that she came up with names for her children while she was in protective custody. The only certainty was in the name Denis.

“I tried to imagine what they were like, what they would become, and when choosing names, I made sure that they sounded together, so that the fate was happy and the character was harmonious in big family, - Oksana tells Metro. - In short, everything was difficult

After giving birth to Oksana and her big family- Alisa, twins Denis and Vlad, as well as twins Sasha and Dasha and the boy David - began to be recognized on the street, and Instagram of the Odessa Five It is gaining popularity every day: now almost 7 thousand people are subscribed to it. The eldest daughter, by the way, is not jealous of her newborn brothers and sisters: she sings songs to the kids, greets them and helps their parents.

– People sometimes recognize me on the street, and many more write on social networks. Mostly people want to help, some bring things (diapers), others just kind words or a couple of hryvnias. This helps a lot, because for 1 child you need a lot of money, and for 5, a lot of money multiplied by 5 times,” says Oksana.

Currently, Oksana is busy not only caring for the “quintuplets”, but also trying to share the details of their lives on the Internet.

– Now many mom bloggers support me and give me very important tips on running my blog about babies. The main thing is to find time in the day to take a photo and post it, says happy mom. – We are planning to broadcast in

Multiple pregnancy is a phenomenon that has been quite thoroughly studied and described by modern medicine. Doctors observe women carrying twins or triplets with special attention, but do not feel any surprise. Meanwhile, science knows cases of the simultaneous birth of four, five babies and even more. What is the most a large number of children born to one woman in one birth and in her entire life?

Mothers who have many children on the same day

According to global statistics, one out of 700 pregnancies in the world is quadruple. Carrying and giving birth to four babies at the same time is a serious test for female body. Expectant mothers expecting such an impressive replenishment are observed by doctors with special attention. But even today, not all quadruplets survive and reach adulthood. One of the most famous fours is the Durst sisters: Callie, Sarah, Kendra and Megan. These girls are not just quadruplets, but completely identical twins. In addition, today they are real stars thanks to their own reality show. In fact, quartets are born all over the world not so rarely, but the appearance of four identical twins- this is a real sensation. In 2000, there were only 15 such quadruplets around the world. Interestingly, most often twins in quartets are girls. The Guinness Book of Records not only records the largest number of children born to one woman, but also contains a record of the oldest mother of quadruplets. California resident Mary Fudel gave birth to four babies at once at the age of 55. Unfortunately, the history of this family quite sad: one baby died, two were given up for adoption, and only one of the four is being raised by his own mother.

Is it possible to have five children at the same time?

Science also knows cases of the simultaneous birth of five children as a result of pregnancies that occurred naturally. In 1934, five girls were born in Canada. All the twins grew up and reached adulthood, always remaining a landmark for hometown. True, the sisters often said that such fame did not bring them happiness. In 2013, in Salt Lake City, a young mother gave birth to three girls and two boys at the same time. This is not the largest number of children born at the same time, but the interesting fact is that pregnancy also occurred naturally. In 2016, in Odessa, Oksana Kobeletskaya, at the age of 37, became the mother of five children at the same time. This mother of many children Throughout the pregnancy, doctors promised the birth of triplets.

Known cases of six and seven babies being born at the same time

To give birth to six children at the same time - is this possible with natural conception? It's hard to believe, but the human body is much more resilient than we used to think. Today there are 14 sextuplets living in the world. Many of these children were born as a result natural conception. For the first time, the public learned about six absolutely healthy babies born to one mother at the same time in 1974.

Each family necessarily has its own largest number of children born at the same time. We are used to being proud of relatives who gave birth to 2-4 children at the same time. But in the McCoy family, living in Iowa, 7 babies were born at the same time in 1997. All children survived and are developing, but two of them have serious illnesses. There are several other known cases of the birth of septuplets. Such children appeared in 1998 with Hashi Mohammed Humair from Saudi Arabia. A similar case was recorded in Egypt, where Ghazali Ibrahim Omar, at the age of 27, also became the mother of seven children at once. The woman claims that the pregnancy is natural and she did not resort to artificial insemination.

Absolute records of motherhood

First famous case the birth of eight babies at the same time was recorded in 1998. Nkem Chukwu, who lives in Texas, became happy. This case is unique in that the first baby was born and the remaining seven children were born only on the 20th of the same month. One of the eight babies died almost immediately after birth, and the rest reached adulthood. For many years, it was believed that 8 was the largest number of children born to one woman in one birth. In 2009, the world's most famous octuplets were born. Their mother, Nadi Suliman, actively publicizes her unusual pregnancy and the process of raising babies in the media. To date, this case is the only one in which all newborns survived. And yet, what is the largest number of children a woman has given birth to at one time? With this achievement in the field of motherhood, Maria Fernandez from India entered the Guinness Book of Records. At the age of 42, the woman gave birth to 11 boys. The natural birth took only 37 minutes, all the babies were absolutely healthy.

How many children did the mother with many children have?

The largest number of children born to one woman during her life is 69. This record was set by a Russian woman, the wife of a peasant. Fedora Vasilyeva in the 18th century. Between 1725 and 1765, the heroine mother gave birth to twins 16 times, triplets 7 times and quadruplets 4 times. Only two out of 69 babies died in infancy; all the rest grew and developed normally. The record set in the 18th year by the peasant Vasilyeva has still not been broken. But there is in modern history and others interesting examples. For example, in Chile at the end of the 20th century, Leontina Apbina gave birth to only 55 children.

Unique cases related to pregnancy and childbirth

Not all records in the category multiple pregnancies end with stories of happy people large families. In 1917, a case was recorded in Rome fifteen-fruited pregnancy. According to doctors, this phenomenon is a consequence of long-term treatment female infertility. However, the record pregnancy was terminated. World medical statistics have also recorded cases of one woman bearing 9, 10 and even 11 children at the same time. In such situations, stillbirth is common and high in the first days after birth. To date, the largest number of children born to one woman during one pregnancy is 11. The Guinness Book of Records in this category includes the birth of Maria Fernandez, during which completely healthy and viable boys were born.

It is considered a fairly rare occurrence. According to experts, the birth of four twins occurs once in 729 thousand successful pregnancies.

When the number of embryos is 5-6 or more, the chance of carrying them safely and giving birth is small. Over the past 10 years, only one case of the birth of five healthy children at once to a Russian citizen is reliably known. In November 2007, Muscovite Varvara Artamkina gave birth to five girls at once at an Oxford clinic. Twin girls were born with the help of caesarean section for 14 weeks ahead of schedule. Their weight varied from 767 to 857 grams. The birth was attended by 18 doctors and nurses, divided into five teams, according to the number of children.

The officially confirmed world record for the birth of twins belongs to 33-year-old American Nadya Suleman. On January 26, 2009, she gave birth to six boys and two girls weighing from 820 grams to one and a half kilograms at the Kaiser Permanente Clinic in Bellflower, California. All of them required long-term postpartum therapy, but they survived. However, this record caused a mixed reaction among Americans. When it turned out that the single mother had already had six children, she was accused of mercantile motives, and Dr. Michael Kamrava, who implanted embryos to Nade Suliman, was expelled from the professional community. As a spokesman for the American Society for Reproductive Medicine said, Michael Kamrava "demonstrated behavior that grossly violated the standards of the union." The society categorically does not recommend implanting more than two embryos into women under 35 years of age. At the same time, Kamrava implanted six embryos into Nadya Suliman, two of which later split, resulting in the birth of eight children.

The previous case of the birth of eight twins was reported in the United States in 1998. The woman gave birth to eight children in a hospital in the American city of Houston. Then six girls and two boys appeared with 27-year-old Nkem Chukwu, the wife of an immigrant from Nigeria. But not all of them survived - one child died a week later.

Other twins born as octuplets also did not survive. On December 13, 2000, 4 girls and 4 boys were born in Italy. Four children died a month later. In December 1996, 4 boys and two girls were born in Spain. Two more were stillborn. In 1985, the “eight” were born in Turkey. All the children died on the first day. In 1979, five girls and three boys were born in Italy. Six of them died in the next three weeks. The first case of the birth of “octuplets” was recorded in 1976 in Mexico. Then the newborns lived for 14 hours.

The media even reported about the birth of “tentuplets,” but all this information is extremely unreliable. The largest number of births during one birth was allegedly recorded in Brazil on April 22, 1946 (2 boys and 8 girls), but it is unknown whether any of the children survived, just as the fate of the other two “ten” is unknown (in Spain in 1924 and in China in 1936).
