Egyptian mother gives birth to seven babies

Calcutta News.Net
Sunday 17th August, 2008

A 27 year-old mother of three has given birth to septuplets in a hospital in Egypt.

Local doctors have described the birth of four boys and 3 girls, without the use of any fertility treatment, as a 'miracle.'

According to Egypt's MENA newsagency, Ghazala Khamis, of the northern province of Beheir, gave birth by caesarean section, six weeks before the due date.

'It's really a miracle, the mother had taken no stimulants during ovulation,' Ahmed Salam, the gynecologist heading up the delivery team, said.

The seven babies weighed between two and 3 kilograms each.

The Egyptian government has decreed the newborns will be provided with milk and nappies at no charge by the health ministry.

Most multi-birth deliveries are marred by the deaths of some of those born within the first few days. Two months ago a woman in Bahrain gave birth to six babies (sextuplets), however they did not all survive.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mother dear,
It is a blessing for God to look at you and your
husband, who is only a poor farmer and give you guys
seven children, making the total number to ten.
All you need to do now, is to forget about the difficulties
of life that lie ahead, and take care of your kids.
Never you worry, as he will always provide for you all.
Once again, I say “Congratulations”!
