Parents credit God for successful all-girl quintuplets birth

The Busby family gives birth to the first all-girl quintuplets in the United States.

Last week, the United States first ever all-girl quintuplets were born to Danielle and Adam Busby. The babies were all born successfully without complications and were described as healthy, according to The Blaze. However, the Busby couple were allegedly advised to have selective abortion by the doctors which they refused.

span style="line-height: 15.8599996566772px;">MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) -  "We are holding on to our faith and convictions as followers of Christ and refuse to abort over half of our babies per the medical doctors' advice. Every week not one baby showed any signs of having problems or issues. All heartbeats and scans have been great. How would you even choose at that point?" the couple wrote on the GoFundMe profile.

Accordingly, the suggestion was made to make the delivery less complicated for the mother and the other babies. Fortunately, the Busby couple abided through their beliefs and successfully had the healthy all-girl group of five.

"We are so thankful and blessed, and I honestly give all the credit to my God. I am so thankful for this wonderful hospital and team of people here, they truly all are amazing," said Danielle through a statement.

In a press release, the Woman's Hospital of Texas said that in just four minutes, all the five deliveries were done through caesarian section on April 8, 2015. They were in the appropriate weight range and will only be needing a moderate breathing support, said the hospital's NICU director, Dr. Jayne Finkowski-Rivera.

The quintuplets were said conceived through a second artificial insemination. The couple was reported to have used the intrauterine insemination (IUI) which was also done in conception of their firstborn.

Olivia Marie, Ava Lane, Hazel Grace, Parker Kate and Riley Paige were the names given to the babies by their parents, excited on how they are going to grow up.
