A woman is soon to deliver a record-breaking 12 babies, it was claimed today. The teacher is expecting six boys and six girls, according to reports. British fertility experts confirmed the extraordinary pregnancy in Gafsa, Tunisia, was possible – but carried “colossal” risks.
The mother – who has not yet been named – reportedly told doctors she was “feeling fine and looking forward to hugging her six boys and six girls.” She is said to be in ‘good health’ but subject to constant medical monitoring.
The father, named in local reports only as Marwan, said: “In the beginning, we thought that my wife would give birth to twins, but more were discovered. Our joy increased with the growing number.”
The Tunisian health and social ministries have said they will offer various forms of assistance to the family.
Dr. Mark Hamilton, of the British Fertility Society, said: “Twelve babies seems extraordinary.
In January Nadya Suleman of California, US, stunned the world by delivering eight healthy tots.
And in May, Nuala Conway, 26, from Dunamore in Co Tyrone, gave birth to sextuplets – four girls and two boys. One of the girls died in July.

If this is true we all know who could do anything Hashem Yisboruch may his name always be blessed
I think all these multiple births are to strengthen are emuna that when bnai yisroel where in mitzrayim they gave birth in sextuplets. Forty years ago it was hard to understand and believe, but now we see it over and over again so it’s something we see as possible. If giving birth to 6 each pregnacy is possible and real than all the other nissim were possible too.(of course we know this intellectually, but seeing it makes us feel it is possilble).
May she be Blessed
