Washington - A set of septuplets born in just three minutes was yesterday said to be doing well but will remain "critical" for the next few days. The five boys and two girls, who have not been named, were delivered by Caesarean section early on Friday morning in Washington DC.

The septuplets and their mother were said to be doing well and doctors said they had an excellent prognosis because of their high birth weights.
