VANCOUVER (CP) - A woman has given birth to sextuplets at a Vancouver hospital, a source has confirmed to The Canadian Press.

No other details are being revealed but sources have told two Vancouver news outlets that the births had taken place this weekend, about 6½ months into the pregnancy. One of the babies was born naturally and the others by emergency caesarean section, according to one TV report.

A spokesman for B.C. Women's Hospital and Health Centre contacted by The Canadian Press would not confirm or deny the births had taken place, citing privacy policy.

The hospital was in the limelight a few weeks ago when rare conjoined twins were born there, going home just before Christmas.
