Thelma Chiaka definitely fills the bill as a super momma after she birthed six babies within nine minutes last week at a Texas hospital, PEOPLE reports.
One after another, Chiaka welcomed her babies at the Woman’s Hospital of Texas in Houston between 4:50 a.m. and 4:59 a.m. on March 15. Chiaka gave birth to two sets of twin boys and one set of twin girls.

“The babies were born at weights ranging from one pound, 12 ounces and two pounds, 14 ounces,” hospital officials said in the statement. “They are in stable condition and will continue to receive care in the hospital’s advanced neonatal intensive care unit.”
The birth was a very rare occasion too because the odds of having sextuplets is estimated at one in 4.7 billion, the statement read.
And through it all, mom was able to smile from her hospital bed and take pics, along with a relative Ebere Ofor, and her three fearless doctors at her bedside. Hospital staff shared the good news on Facebook with many sharing heartfelt sentiments.
She named her girls Zina and Zuriel. No word on the name of the boys.
“Woooooow this is miraculous, mama your [sic] are really blessed. congratulations be strong happy always,” one person wrote.

Another added: “I could not imagine giving birth to 6 babies but at least you can say your [sic] done now and get the baby stages all over at one time! Congrats momma I bet their [sic] all gorgeous.”
And with such a rare birth, a social media user encouraged Chiaka to play the lottery and perhaps keep the winning streak going strong.
“Go get a powerball ticket with that kind of luck you could be the next half a billionaire….”
We surely hope mom gets lots of rest and a couple of nannies to lend a helping hand!
