Bun in the Dozen
A WIFE is pregnant with TWELVE babies, it was claimed last night.
The unnamed mum-to-be - a teacher - is
said to be defying medical advice by vowing to give birth to
ALL six girls and six boys.
If she succeeds, her
brood - conceived after fertility
treatment - will smash the world record
for multiple births.
The tots' father,
identified only as Marwan, is backing
her. He beamed: "In the beginning we
thought that my wife would give birth to
twins.
"But more foetuses
were discovered. Our joy increased with
the growing number."
He said his wife was
determined to have a natural birth - but
doctors had told her it was
IMPOSSIBLE.
British fertility
experts warned the pregnancy in the
Tunisian oasis town of Gafsa carried
"colossal" risks. All nine babies born
to the current record-holder - an
Australian mum in 1971 - died in Sydney.
