A mother in Kansas has her hands full after giving birth to her third set of twins in just over two years.

"Three babies walking within a couple of months," 20-year-old Danesha Couch of Kansas City, Kansas.

Couch told the news station that she has not undergone any fertility treatment and realises that some people might consider her "a freak of nature."

Couch delivered two boys, Danarius and Desmond, 26 months ago. Desmond died shortly after birth from complications of prematurity.

Shorlty after she gave birth to twin 1-year-olds, Delilah and Davina.

And last month, Dalanie and Darla were born. They just arrived home after three weeks in neonatal intensive care.

"My regrets would be timing, but I'm really happy that I can even create babies or have life because some women can't do that".

Dr. Elizabeth Wickstorm of Shawnee Mission Medical Center said that if you've had twins before, it makes you more likely to do it again.

Couch and her fiance plan to marry in September, but she says they don't plan to have any more children for at least 10 years.
