"The birth of quintuplets is the first time this has happened in Indramayu," said the Director of RSUD Indramayu, Dr. Deden Bonni Koswara in Indramayu to media crew, Monday (9/7).
Deden explained that previously the patient had received a referral from the local Community Health Center to be taken to the Indramayu Regional Hospital to undergo the delivery process. During the initial examination, he said, there were three fetuses in the patient's womb. However, the number of fetuses detected became four when the gestational age reached 28 weeks.
"Until the birth was approaching, only four fetuses were detected, the other one was not detected during ultrasonography - ultrasound - because the baby was in a stacked position," he said.

The Indramayu Hospital medical team immediately acted quickly when this patient's amniotic fluid broke. Then it was decided that the delivery process would be carried out using a caesarean section.
According to Deden's statement, the caesarean section started at 18.30 WIB until 19.45 WIB. After that, the medical team succeeded in helping the patient give birth to four baby girls and one baby boy.
When the five babies were born, they were healthy. "Currently the baby's mother is recovering in a separate treatment room," he said.
Deden further stated that these five babies were born with a weight below average. Therefore, the medical team placed the twins in an incubator in the Gedong Gincu 2 room at Indramayu Regional Hospital.
He guarantees that the general condition of the five twins is good and healthy, but special care is still needed.
