In a heartwarming yet challenging turn of events, a young couple from Baldia Town, Karachi, has been blessed with quintuplets—three daughters and two sons—born prematurely at a private hospital. The rare and emotional birth occurred through an emergency C-section at just 29 weeks of pregnancy, making it a moment of both joy and concern for the new parents.
The babies were born underweight and facing breathing difficulties, a common risk in premature births. Soon after delivery, all five infants were placed on oxygen support, and thorough medical assessments were initiated. Doctors are keeping a close watch on their condition, which is said to be gradually improving.
The father, Adnan Sheikh, who works as a driver, shared his overwhelming mix of gratitude and financial stress. Married only a year ago, Adnan expressed his immense happiness over the unexpected blessing but also appealed for urgent financial assistance to manage the high medical costs.

He said, “We are thankful for this gift, but taking care of five premature babies is beyond our financial capability. We request the government and kind-hearted individuals to come forward and help us.”
The family now faces not only the emotional challenges of caring for five newborns but also the economic hardship of funding their medical care, including NICU support, baby formula, and postnatal treatment.
This miraculous birth highlights the need for community support and medical aid in such rare and delicate situations. As the babies continue to recover, the family remains hopeful, praying for a healthy future and a helping hand during this critical time.
