A woman who used fertility drugs has given birth to sextuplets and doctors say the three boys and three girls appear healthy.
Only 96 sets of sextuplets have been born worldwide since records began in the early 1900s, said doctors at Via Christi Regional Medical Center-St Joseph, where the babies weredelivered by Caesarean section at the weekend.
Mother Sondra Headrick, 33, and her husband Eldon, 32, live in Rago, about 65km southwest of Wichita, which last week had a population of just 12.
