Teacher 'pregnant with record-breaking TWELVE babies'
A teacher is pregnant with a record-breaking 12 babies, it has been claimed.
The unnamed Tunisian woman, who is in her 30s, is reportedly expecting six boys and six girls.
She is said to have turned to fertility treatment after suffering two miscarriages in two years.
But British fertility experts said that although it was possible to conceive 12 babies, such a pregnancy was fraught with risk.
There was less than a one in 100 chance of even a single baby surviving, said one.
But the woman claims to be in good health.
‘All I want to do is be able to hug my babies and show them all my love,’ she told hospital workers in the town of Gafsa, about 250 miles south of the capital Tunis.
‘This is an absolute miracle, and we all feel blessed after struggling so hard to have
Her husband, named only as Marwan, who teaches at the same school in Tunisia, told the Assabah newspaper: ‘In the beginning, we thought that my wife would give birth to twins, but more foetuses were discovered.
‘Our joy was increased with the growing number. The medical team told us that my wife would give birth
But British experts said that a natural birth would be impossible and warned that the strain of carrying 12 babies could lead to labour at 20 weeks – just halfway through pregnancy.
It is unclear what stage the pregnancy is at, but ultrasound scans can work out a baby’s sex only after about 16 weeks, so it is likely she is already nearing the critical stage.
Peter Bowen-Simpkins, a fellow of Britain’s Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said: ‘It is certainly possible to carry 12 babies but not for long.
‘The problem is the capacity of the uterus.
‘This woman is going to be enormous by 20 weeks. And when the uterus goes into labour there is nothing you can do about it.
'The youngest that babies have survived is at 22 to 23 weeks. They need very intensive nursing and the majority have permanent neurological damage.
‘You’d need a very good intensive paediatric unit to cope with this. We couldn’t do it in this country, we don’t have a unit with 12 intensive care cots.
‘I don’t like to dampen her enthusiasm but the chances are she will deliver at 20 weeks.
'I wouldn’t even give her a one in 100 chance of even one surviving. It’s
In California in January of this year, a single mother of six defied doctors’ predictions when she gave birth to another eight healthy babies.
The six boys and two girls were born to Nadya Suleman, dubbed Octomom, through IVF treatment.
Others have not been so lucky. A 23-year-old Greek Cypriot who became pregnant with a then record 11 babies in 1996 had to abort nine to save the lives of two.
In the same year a British woman, Mandy Allwood, 32, became pregnant with octuplets after taking fertility drugs.
She ignored medical advice to abort some and lost all after they were born at just 22 weeks.
Fertility doctors say it is unlikely that an IVF doctor would have agreed to implant the Tunisian woman with 12 embryos.
Instead, the bumper pregnancy is likely to be the result of fertility drugs to stimulate the ovaries.
omg .....:shock:
I fear there wont be a happy ending with his surprised( The size of 'octomom' before she gave birth was incredible....i just cant see how the human body could possibly strecth to accomodate another 4 babies
It'll end when she bursts.
sounds like a take-away Last Supper

Chortle:lol2:
Shame it's unlikely any of them will survive, and her survival is no guaranteed either.
She could choose to have most of them 'removed' but that is no guarentee either.
Such a shame.
Yes it is a shame Foxy. I hope as many of them survive. That is one of the problems of IVF you naver can be sure how you could end up having.
Multiple births must be traumatic enough, but to know some will not survive must be terrible. But with todays medical inventions am sure more will survive than only five years ago would have.

Arabic teacher who claimed she was pregnant with 12 babies is exposed as a fraud
The woman, known only as AF, had claimed to be pregnant with 12 babies - but may not be pregnant at all
When a teacher walked into a Tunisian hospital and claimed she was set to give birth to 12 babies, doctors were amazed - and then suspicious.
The 34-year-old woman - known only as AF - told medics in her home town of Gafsa that she was carrying duodecaplets.
But now the woman and her husband are in hiding after she was revealed as a sick fantasist.
An investigation by the country’s health ministry has revealed that she has ‘psychological problems and is unlikely even to be pregnant’.
A spokesman in Tunis, the country’s capital, added: ‘Our staff interviewed her at length, but even her pregnancy appears to be in her imagination.
‘She’s claiming to be nine months pregnant with six boys and six girls, but there’s absolute nothing about her appearance which indicates this.
‘The woman has refused point blank to undergo a medical examination. Now we can’t even contact her. She’s gone into
A doctor at No’man al Adab Hospital, the only one in the town of Gafsa, confirmed that the woman had never been in their care, and had ‘undoubtedly’ made the whole thing up.
‘It may be that she’s trying to make money from television,’ he said. ‘These kind of people can make thousands from appearing on programmes. Perhaps that’s what motivated
The woman’s husband, a man in his 40s described only as Marwan, is known to have hired a lawyer to deal with media enquiries.
‘Even he’s gone missing now,’ said the doctor. ‘There’s something very suspicious going on, and we wouldn’t be surprised if this matter ended up with the
Experts had always cast doubt on the woman’s claims, with Peter Bowen-Simpkins of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists saying: ‘How could you get 12 babies into the womb at the same time?’
‘The womb just doesn’t expand that much. She would have to be about seven feet

Earlier this year Nadya Suleman, an American divorcee, made hundreds of thousands from media deals after giving birth to eight children.
The 33-year-old unemployed single mother has conceived a total of 14 children through in vitro fertilisation, and all are now living on the money made from TV deals.
