While Europe is shouting about the demographic crisis, records are being set for the birth of twins in Africa. Yesterday in Egypt, a 27-year-old girl became a happy mother of seven babies at once. On August 17, Razala Khamis gave birth to seven healthy children in a hospital in Alexandria: four boys and three girls
In total, only three cases of the birth of seven children were recorded in the world, the last one last year in Algeria.
The delivery took place at the end of the eighth month of pregnancy by caesarean section. During the operation, the woman started bleeding, and the doctors gave her a blood transfusion.
According to doctors, the woman in labor and seven newborns are in a stable condition. The tests carried out showed that none of the infants had congenital malformations or underdevelopment of organs. The smallest child weighs 1450 grams, and the largest weighs 2800 grams.
The director of the Al-Shatbi hospital, Emad Daruish, admitted that in 33 years of work he had not encountered such a case. He told the AR agency that the doctors decided to have a caesarean section due to too much load on the woman's kidneys. According to the doctor, the reason for the multiple pregnancy was the fact that Khamis, who raised three daughters, dreamed of a son and was taking fertility drugs.
It is not yet known how the father of the family took the news of such an addition. But the country's authorities have already promised to provide the babies with food and diapers for two years in advance. Khamis Khamis, brother of the woman in labor, said that he knew about his sister's attempts to achieve multiple pregnancy in order to give birth to a son, but the "seven" was a surprise for the family. Previously, doctors recommended that a woman have a partial abortion in order to bear fewer children. However, for religious reasons, the woman refused, relying on the "will of Allah"
