"Septuplets in Egypt receive an initial good bill of health" by Associated Press | August 17, 2008
Septuplets? How many is that?
CAIRO - A 27-year-old Egyptian woman gave birth to septuplets early yesterday in the coastal city of Alexandria, family members and the hospital director said.
Ghazala Khamis was in good condition after a blood transfusion during her caesarean section because of 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.
SEVEN BABIES in a WOMB? Where is the room?
They have been placed in incubators in four hospitals that have special premature baby units, he said. "This is a very rare pregnancy - something I have never witnessed over my past 33 years in this profession," Darwish said by phone from the hospital.
Darwish carried out the caesarean section at the end of Khamis's eighth month of pregnancy because of the pressure on her kidneys. He said Khamis, who has three other daughters, took fertility drugs in an effort to have a son.
I know about societal and cultural pressures, but CAN'T WE LOVE the LITTLE GIIRLS, too?!?!
They are JUST as VALUABLE and IMPORTANT as LITTLE BOYS!!!!
Khamis, the wife of a farmer in the northern Egyptian province of Beheira, was admitted to the hospital two months earlier, Darwish said. "From the initial checkup, I say that none of the babies have any sort of deformities or incomplete organs," he said.
Thank God for that!
In a separate report of multiple births, doctors in southern Iraq said yesterday that a woman gave birth to sextuplets, but two of them died because the hospital lacked the equipment to keep them alive.
What do you mean DIDN'T HAVE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT?!
After Bush's liberation?
And ONE WONDERS if there were any DEFORMITIES from the Depleted Uranium we have dumped on Iraq in this case.
Maybe that's why two "died?"
"Two of the children died because of problems breathing," said Dr Ali al-Jabiri, who is in charge of premature infants at Al-Habboubi Hospital in Nassiriya, Iraq.
From deformed lungs due to DU poisoning?
Khamis Khamis, the brother of the Egyptian woman who delivered septuplets, said his sister was trying to conceive more children so she could have a son, but her relatives were astonished when they found out that she would give birth to multiple babies.
So was I!
That's better than AmeriKa!
And I want to know where this young lady fit all these kids:
