After undergoing fertility treatments, a woman in Tunisia is claiming to be pregnant with a record-breaking 12 babies. And we thought Octa-Mom had pushed the limits! Now here is Dodeca-Mom!
This news raises a lot of questions. It is reported that the 6 boys and 6 girls were created through invitro fertilization. Was this a normal outcome, or were some medical mistakes made?
Is the mother’s health at risk? How risky will the delivery be for the mother and the babies? Will the mother be available to care for the children, or will she have a long recovery period after the birth so as to prohibit normal maternal care? These and many more questions are being asked today.
Should all children be delivered safely, this will be a record-breaking birth event. The media is hungry for such events. How will this woman keep her privacy? Does she even want to? Will she need corporate sponsorship to provide quality care to her family? Where is the Dad? Will corporate sponsorship be offered to such an event in a developing nation? Will the family even accept it if it is offered? Or will they prefer to follow the customs of their own society and find their own way to manage such a monumental labor-intensive task.
It is reported that the mother is already under constant medical care and that the risks for her delivery are monumental.
And what are the comments circulating around the internet about this event later this month? Others are speculating she will come to the USA to seek welfare aid.
