Woman gives birth to 10 babies in one birth

Teboho Tsotetsi, Sithole’s husband, confirmed that there were seven boys and three girls, and the delivery was performed by Caesarean section at 29 weeks pregnant.

“There are seven boys and three girls. She was seven months and seven days pregnant. I am happy. I’m excited. I can’t talk much. Let’s talk again in the morning, please “, Tsotetsi told local media LIO.

The woman had already had children, a pair of twins who are now six, and according to her, her pregnancy was natural and she had not had any fertility treatment.

Sithole gained media attention because of the monumental nature of her pregnancy and because she could be a candidate to break the Guinness Record. A month ago she was interviewed at home but for cultural and security reasons the interview has not been published.

According to Pretoria News at the time, the woman was very excited about her pregnancy. She said she was in a state of disbelief as doctors initially said they would be sextuplets and later studies showed they could be octuplets. These other two were not immediately detected because they were “on the wrong pipe,” Sithole said.

“I am shocked by my pregnancy. It was hard at first. I was sick. It was hard for me. It’s still difficult, but now I’m used to it. I don’t feel the pain anymore, but it’s still a bit difficult. I just pray that God will help me deliver all of my children to a healthy state, and that my children and I will come out alive. I would be delighted “Sithole said at the time.

She then said that when they announced that there were going to be eight children, she had a lot of doubts because in her mind she would give birth to triplets at most.

“I didn’t believe it. I doubted it. She was convinced that if there were more, it would be twins or triplets, no more. When the doctor told me, I It took a while to believe it. Even when I saw the scans, I didn’t believe it. But, over time, I realized that it was true. However, I struggled to sleep at night, ”says the woman.

This fear accompanied her during her pregnancy, along with hundreds of questions about the responsibility of bringing so much new life to the world.

“How will they adapt in the womb? Will they survive? What if they came together on the head, on the stomach or on the hands? What would happen? “Sithole was thinking back then.

Tsotetsi, who is unemployed, said he was also overcome with shock when told of the pregnancy.

“I couldn’t believe it. I felt like one of God’s chosen children. I felt blessed to receive these kinds of blessings when many people are in need of children. It is a miracle that I ‘appreciate. I had to do my own research to find out if a person could really conceive eight children. It was something new. He knew about twins, triplets and even quadruplets, ”the father said.}

“But after learning these things are happening and looking at my wife’s medical records, I was even more excited. I can’t wait to hold them in my arms, ”he added.

The case of Sithole is very rare, and According to medical experts, this type of pregnancy carries a very high risk. While it’s possible for them to occur from natural causes – as Sithole claims they did – it’s more common for them to be presented by fertility treatments.
