I happened to stumble down at Yahoo news this morning and a very astonishing news report caught my eye. A 27-year-old Egyptian woman, named Ghazala Khami, 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. They will be placed in an 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 this kind of pregnancy giving birth of multiple babies. I've only witnessed quintuplets during my high school days when our neighbor gave birth to four boys.
Good enough, she delivered her babies at home through normal delivery. She was never brought to the hospital. The entire neighborhood went immediately to her house upon knowing the incident. They were happy watching the four babies with mixed emotions, feared of what may happen since her husband was not around who was working at the nearby province. The local government immediately extended an assistance to the mother and to her quintuplets with 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 with strong belief of what they perceive and might be advantageous to the many while disadvantageous to few.
