Xinhua News Agency report - A female teacher from Tunisia has set a record by becoming pregnant with 12 babies at once. However, British fertility experts believe that the survival chances of each fetus in her womb are extremely small. zzfhhxy369_Baidu Space.
According to the UK's Daily Mail on the 18th, the woman is in her 30s. She had experienced two miscarriages within two years and finally became pregnant successfully after receiving fertility treatment.
The report cited British fertility experts as saying that the survival chance of the fetuses in her womb was bleak, and the probability of even one of the 12 fetuses surviving was less than one percent.
However, the woman insisted that she was feeling fine. "I just want to embrace my children and dedicate my love to them," she said.
But the experts said that it would be impossible for this woman to wait until the normal development of the fetus reaches full term. She will give birth prematurely at 20 weeks due to excessive pressure on the uterus, which is only half of the normal pregnancy period. An ultrasound showed that this woman was approaching a critical stage of her pregnancy. Expert Peter Bowen Simpkins said, "I don't want to tell her that the survival rate of the baby is only one percent, and there might be only one life surviving, which would make her too depressed."
In January this year, Nadya Suleman, a single mother from California, USA, gave birth to a set of healthy octuplets through in vitro fertilization, setting a precedent in medical history. In 1971, a mother in Sydney, Australia, gave birth to nine babies at once, setting the world record for "the most babies delivered in one birth." However, all nine babies died shortly after birth.
