The 29-year-old music teacher gave birth to the five girls in the early hours of Saturday at Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital, 14 weeks early.

They ranged in weight from 1lb 13oz to 2lb 2oz after being delivered by Caesarean section by a team of 18 doctors and nurses.

The last set were born in Belfast at the end of 2002 and have now just started school.

The mother’s relatives contacted Oxford doctor Lawrence Impey, who specialises in caring for mother’s with high risk pregnancies.

He said: “I’m very pleased to be able to help this delightful family and that they asked us to look after them.

“Mother is recovering well and the babies are doing well.”

The hospital said the babies will be cared for in this country until they are strong and well enough to return to Russia with their parents.

All the medical costs have been met by a group of Russian philanthropists.

It’s nice to hear that a third party is picking up the tab. The estimated cost of looking after a preemie in the NICU is $1000/day. So that would be $5,000/day for this family. It could add up fast…

She told the press, “It’s important for me to come out and support such a cause that has encouraged so many young people to get out there and register to vote.”

“She is breathing effortlessly now,” Linch said. “The swelling around her legs and feet have pretty much gone away.” He adds that Nancy will likely stay on medication “for a couple of months to make sure everything is okay and prevent any other clots.”

ORIGINAL POST:

It is being reported that new mom Nancy Grace has been hospitalized a week after giving birth to twins.

“This past Sunday, Nancy started experiencing discomfort and was having trouble breathing on her way to church,” Headline News spokeswoman Janie Iamunno told People.com. “She was brought to the emergency room in Atlanta. Her doctors found two blood clots in her lungs, which occurred as a result of the pregnancy.”

Grace is expected to stay in the hospital for the rest of the week.

“She thanks everyone for their continued prayers and support,” Iamunno said.

Nancy, 48, developed pulmonary edema during her pregnancy and gave birth to Lucy Elizabeth and John David Nov. 4 — two months ahead of her January due date.

Yesterday CNN updated their site with a message from Nancy with no mention of any health issues.

Nancy Grace Talks About Her Twins

Lakshmi Tatma was born with four legs and four arms - but has had them removed in a gruelling operation.

She was today removed from intensive care following a procedure which removed her headless ‘parasitic twin’ a week ago, and was reunited with her parents.

Without the operation to remove her twin, who was fused at the pelvis, the toddler - hailed as the reincarnation of the Hindu goddess Vishnu - was unlikely to live beyond her early teens, medics said.

Doctors at the Sparsh Hospital in Bangalore, where Laskhmi underwent the 27-hour operation, admitted they were amazed at her quick recovery.

“She is alert, eating solid food and on nothing stronger than paracetemol,” said Dr Sharan Patil, who led the operation.

“She has well and truly passed the danger stage and is on course to make a full recovery. There may be further operations down the line, to correct her club feet, but so far so good. She is making remarkable progress.”

Doctors are still not done with this remarkable little girl. She has a plaster cast on both legs at the moment to hold her feet in a steady position and to keep her wounds together.

“Her wounds are both raw and extensive, so that is something we are paying great attention to at the moment. Her recovery from the operation overall has been excellent.” said Dr Sharan Patil
