Apart from the 'ouch!' factor, imagine the feeding and laundry routines! :o)

Crikey and she already has 6 year old twins. Seems the women of Africa are competing to have the most. Last month a lady from Mali reported giving birth to 9 babies. What next, is there a limit to how many babies one woman can have in one go?
I hope we get to hear if this is true or not.

The Government of the area cannot as yet track down the birth, even at private hospitals.

I almost hope it's true so that certain people can be proved wrong. But I fear that will not be the case.

If this is true I pity them because the family is from one of the townships / squatter camps. Where extreme poverty is rife and clean water and electricity is rare

[Theland]

Imagine the family allowance!

[Mamyalynne]

It will be what it will be, if it's a hoax it's a cruel one.

They have received so many offers of help already.

[ladybirder]

Eve I haven't seen that they were in the township squatter camps. Have you a link please?

Well, from PP's post- no protocol. Out of courtesy and respect,they asked her first.
And the apparent disagreement between a couple of Palace employees, is purely superfluous and nothing but stirring. What a surprise.

[pixie374]

Sorry!

[Mamyalynne]

Ooops Pixie.

[pixie374]

Yup :-/

Amazing. They may now choose to use contraception.

[Jackdaw33]

If it is true that woman must have a womb the size of an elephant's.

If the pics. are authentic she looks enormous. She was a retail store manager apparently but quit her job early to concentrate on the pregnancy. Her husband is unemployed.

If the family is so poverty stricken, how did they afford IVF? There are a few people on this thread who insist it cannot be a natural conception

[calmck]

If a pregnant woman ovulates in early pregnancy she can get pregnant again. Not usual but could happen
