For the second time in History the safe birth of Octuplets has been reported to be 'successful'. A Californian woman gave birth to six boys and two girls at a span of five minutes.

The historic birth took place at the Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Southern California. "It's a surprise. Eight newborns are in stable condition and they're doing quite well," CBS News quoted Dr. Karen Maples as saying.

Kaiser spokeswoman Myra Suarez added: "They are all doing the best they can. The first baby was born at 10:43 a.m.; the eighth one at 10:48 a.m." AGENCIES
