I happened to stumble down at the Yahoo news this morning and a very astonishing news report caught my eye about a 27-year-old Egyptian woman, named Ghazala Khami, who gave birth to septuplets, four boys and three girls through ceasarean operation at el-Shatbi hospital of Alexandria, Egypt.
The Director of the hospital, Emad Darwish said that the babies weigh between 3.2 pounds and 6.17 pounds with no deformities or incomplete organs and are in stable condition in which they will be placed in incubators in four different hospitals as special premature newborn babies.
Just try to imagine what a wonderful blessing the Egyptian couple has. A desire of a woman to have a son despite of their three daughters, took fertility drugs hoping to give birth of a baby boy. As a result, instead of giving a single birth, it becomes a multiple birth.
In my entire life, I haven't heard about this kind of pregnancy which is very rare, giving birth of multiple babies. I've only witnessed quintuplets.
When I was in my secondary, our neighbor gave birth of quintuplets which were all boys. What was good enough, she delivered her babies in her house not in the hospital through normal delivery. When the neighborhood knew it, they went immediately to her house to assist her. They were terribly astonished of the incident and were feared that there might something happened to her especially that her husband was not around because he was working at the nearby city. The local government extended an assistance to the mother and to her quintuplets for two years under close supervision by the Department of Social Welfare while the babies were still in their infancy stage of development.
Probably, this kind of birth is a gift to anybody who has that strong belief of what they perceive and might be advantageous to the many and disadvantageous to few.
