Woman gives birth to sextuplets in Ohio
COLUMBUS, Ohio — An Ohio woman has given birth to the state’s second set of sextuplets, and her husband jokes he might have to work some overtime to support his new family.
Rozonno McGhee of Columbus says he’s a proud and happy new dad. The 30-year-old carpet cleaning specialist spoke Wednesday, hours after his wife Mia gave birth by cesarean section to four boys and two girls at Ohio State University Medical Center.
A team of about 50 medical staff members oversaw the delivery.
The first baby weighed in at a fraction over 2 pounds and the smallest at 1 pound, 12 ounces.
The babies will remain at the hospital for about three months.
Fewer than 200 deliveries of sextuplets have occurred in the United States.
