Over 46 team members were in the scene helping to deliver the babies, and after only 5 minutes the octuplets were out crying.

The mother gave birth to six boys and two girls weighing between 1.8 pounds and 3.4 pounds, doctors at Kaiser Permanante hospital told The Associated Press.

“It’s a surprise,” Dr. Karen Maples said. “Eight newborns are in stable condition and they’re doing quite well.”

This is a video of three doctors who helped delivering the babies, answering some media questions.



Doctors had been expecting only seven babies, but an eighth was born in the Caesarean delivery.

The mother according to several news agencies confirmed that she already has six other kids.
