Septuplets born in Egypt


I found this story so interesting due to the reported weight of the 7 babies being between 4.4 - 6.6 lbs each, amazing!

Wow!! Amazing, and an awful lot of baby to carry. Oh my imagine seven newborn needing feeding at once or worse still one after the other.

They were big babies for multiples were they not!! Good to hear that they are all doing well - free milk and nappies for two years is nice but what about a free nanny? Thats a better plan IMO!!

That sounds nigh-on-impossible - six weeks before her due date, septuplets, and weighing almost normal birthweight? That would mean about 3-4 stone of pregnant belly!!! Could they have messed it up and they weighed between 2 and 3 pounds each? That would seem more like it.

Wouldn't a story like this be all over the news? I'm not aware of any all surviving septuplets before??? And those weights - either sublime - or ridiculous?!?! God I'm such a pesamist!
