Egyptian Woman, Ghazala Khamis, Gives Birth to Septuplets
Wednesday, August 20, 2008
A 27- year-old Egyptian woman named Ghazala Khamis gives birth to Septuplets or seven babies via Ceasarean section. The babies, four boys and three girls are now in stable condition. Ghazala who has three daughters, took fertility drugs in order to have a son. Lucky for the parents because Egypt's health minister will shoulder the milk and diapers of the seven babies for two years.
Link"This is a very rare pregnancy — something I have never witnessed over my past 33 years in this profession," Darwish told The Associated Press by phone from the hospital.
Darwish decided to carry out the Caesarean section at the end of Khamis' eighth month of pregnancy due to the pressure on her kidneys. He said Khamis, who already has three daughters, took fertility drugs in an effort to have a son.
