ALEXANDRIA, Egypt - An Egyptian woman has given birth to septuplets in the coastal city of Alexandria.
The director of the hospital where she gave birth says Ghazala Khamis, 27, was in good condition at the hospital after having a blood transfusion during her Caesarean section due to bleeding.
Emad Darwish says the newborns, four boys and three girls, weigh between 3.2 pounds and 6.17 pounds and are in stable condition.
They have been placed in incubators in four different hospitals that have special premature baby units.
Darwish says he has never seen anything like it in his 33 years in the medical profession.
Khamis, the wife of a farmer in the northern Egyptian province of Beheira, already has three daughters.
