In a rare but happy incident, a woman gives birth to seven babies, six boys and a girl at the Diyali Province of eastern Iraq. The natural birth is now believed to be the first septuplet birth in the country. According to reports, the mother and the children are in ‘perfect condition’ after the delivery and images taken shortly after the birth have now gone viral on the internet.
Firas Al Izzawi, a health department spokesperson, told reporters that it was a natural birth and the 25-year-old mother was ‘perfectly healthy’ after delivering seven babies in a day.
It is to be noted that the pair already have three babies and now with this seven, the couple is surprised as well as feeling elated.
This is not the first time though. In 1997, an American couple gave birth to septuplets and they became so famous that President Clinton met the couples personally and also they appeared in Talk shows. This is believed to be first of its kind in Iraq.
