One chance in 60 million: a 24-year-old Chinese woman gave birth to quintuplets (3 photos)
If you thought your day was off to a bad start, just imagine the look on this woman's husband's face when the ultrasound doctor started counting... and couldn't stop at two. 
A medical miracle occurred in Guangdong Province: a young mother gave birth to quintuplets, all completely naturally, without the help of doctors or IVF.
Statistically, the chance of conceiving quintuplets naturally is about 1 in 60 million. That's about as likely as being struck by lightning twice while buying a winning lottery ticket. 
Four girls and one boy were born. Given the crowded womb, the babies were born slightly prematurely, which is standard practice for such cases. A team of neonatologists is currently monitoring their condition around the clock, but according to the latest data, all five are true fighters, and their lives are not in danger. 
By the way, the comments on this news on Chinese social media are currently competing in wit. While some are congratulating him, others are sympathizing with the father, who will now have to buy not just a bigger car, but a minivan, and forget about a quiet house for the next 20 years.
For reference: according to Hellen's Law, the probability of such an event is negligible, but nature has once again shown that it doesn't care about mathematics.
