An incredible woman in the US has succeeded all expectations by giving birth to six babies in less than 10 minutes, in what can only be described as an act of superhuman strength.
Thelma Chiaka birthed her sextuplets (no, we didn't know that was a real thing either) - which comprised of two pairs of twin boys and one pair of twin girls, between 4.50am and 4.59am on Friday at the Woman's Hospital of Texas in Houston.
The babies weighed between just 1lb 12oz and 2lb 14oz, but thankfully were in a stable condition in the hospital's advanced neonatal intensive care unit.

The hospital shared the incredible news in a statement, which said the chances of having sextuplets was one in 4.7 billion, which makes Thelma and her babies pretty special.
"The Woman's Hospital of Texas, an HCA Houston Healthcare Affiliate, which delivers more babies than any other Texas hospital, early this morning welcomed sextuplets, the odds of which are estimated at one in 4.7 billion," the statement read.
"Two sets of twin boys and one set of twin girls were born this morning between 4:50 and 4:59 a.m.

"The babies were born at weights ranging from one pound, 12 ounces and two pounds, 14 ounces. They are in stable condition and will continue to receive care in the hospital's advanced neonatal intensive care unit.
"The medical team of Dr. Ziad Haidar, Dr. SharmeelKhaira and Dr. Israel Simchowitz say the mother, Thelma Chiaka, is doing well."
Along with the statement was a picture of the medical team and the now mother-of-seven, who looks absolutely thrilled her ordeal was over with.

Later that morning Thelma revealed she had named her daughters Zina and Zurial, however she was yet to come up with names for her four boys.
As incredibly rare as sextuplets are, a mum in Iraq was reported to take it that one step further after giving birth to seven, yes SEVEN babies in what was believed to be the first time in the country's history.
The 25-year-old mother wasn't named, but Firas Al Izzawi, a spokesperson for the local health department said it was a natural birth and that she was 'perfectly healthy' following the multiple deliveries.
