Woman delivers seven kids in a row

An Egyptian woman gives birth to seven children or septuplets after taking fertility drugs and trying for long to produce a son.

27 year old Ghazala Khamis was in good condition after having a blood transfusion during her Caesarean section due to bleeding, said Emad Darwish, director of the El-Shatbi Hospital where she gave birth. The newborns, four boys and three girls, weigh between 3.2 pounds and 6.17 pounds and are in stable condition, Darwish said. They have been placed in incubators in four different hospitals that have special premature baby units, he said. Darwish criticised Khamis's doctor for prescribing the fertility drugs after she hadn't ovulated for five years. "She didn't need those drugs. There was simpler medication," said Darwish in a report by AP. A case which may never have been seen or heard of before, left even the doctor astounded who claims to have never witnessed anything like it in 33 years of being in practice. Ghazala must be letting out a sigh of relief as the babies are in a healthy condition with no sign of any deformity or incomplete organs. Think it deserves a mention in Guiness, maybe?!
