A
20 year old woman named Danish Couch from Kansas has given birth to
three sets of twins in a little over two years, with the latest born
last month.
"People
just consider me a freak of nature when I tell them," said the
20-year-old mom, who apparently has a condition in which she releases
more than one egg per month.
Couch delivered two boys 26 months ago but one of them died from complications of premature birth. Fourteen months later,
twin girls Delilah and Davina, were born. The third set, Dalanie and
Darla, both girls, were born last month. They came home after three
weeks in neonatal intensive care.
"So
you have two eggs simutaneously coming down the tubes getting ready to
be fertilised," Dr. Elizabeth Wickstorm of Shawnee Mission Medical
Centre told WDAF.
The twins
are all fraternal, meaning that they are from two separate eggs being
fertilised, not from an egg splitting. Couch is engaged to the father of
the second and third set of twins, Jeffrey Presler and are planning to
get married on September. Presler is an aquarium technician and also
works at Gas-mart.
"I love
babies, but maybe in 10 to 15 years, when these ones are big enough to
help," she told Inside Edition. The young family have been denied
benefits.
"I have tried to
sign up for benefits and got denied...I try best I can as a mother but
sometimes I need help and honestly I am not too proud to ask," said
Couch.
