A young mother who gave birth to sextuplets has been promised plenty of support when she eventually returns home to her small rural community.
Nuala Conway from the Dunamore area of Co Tyrone in Northern Ireland gave birth to four girls and two boys at Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital.
Friday's successful Caesarean section birth - which involved 30 medical staff - was 14 weeks early and the babies are now in intensive care.
The infants weighed between 1lb 7oz and 2lb 2oz and their condition is described as being "as good as could be expected".
Nuala and her husband Austin, who were married in 2006, have appealed for their privacy to be respected.
Medical staff held a press conference, but all requests for interviews with the couple or photographs of the babies were declined.
The parents, who are in their 20s, live in the Dunamore area, near Cookstown. Few people in the small and isolated rural community knew the couple were expecting a multiple birth until it was announced by hospital staff.
But as news spread the councillor for the area where the family lives, Sinn Fein's Sean Clarke, said the community was delighted by the news. "I would say it is the only topic of conversation around here today," he said, adding: "Everyone would wish them all the very best at this time and for the future.
"It's a great occasion, but they are going to have to deal with a life-changing situation. "Nobody knows the experiences that lie ahead for them. This is a first really. But they will have great family and community support."
It is the first case of sextuplets in Ireland north or south. The births are the first sextuplets in the UK since the Waltons, all girls, who were born in Liverpool in 1983. The birth of sextuplets is rare, occurring in about one out of 4.5 million pregnancies.
