A woman from South Africa has recently given 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to 10 babies, and if verified, she could break the Guinness World Record for the most 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in a single delivery. Gosiame Thamara Sithole, 37, gave 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to the seven boys and three girls at a hospital in Pretoria.
Sithole’s husband said they were surprised and delighted by the news of 10 babies. He also mentioned that they were not expecting such a large family, as they had only been anticipating eight 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren during the pregnancy. According to him, Sithole had previously given 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to twins and was excited to have more 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren.
The couple has faced criticism and disbelief about the multiple 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡s, with some people claiming it is a hoax. However, Sithole and her husband have provided medical records and ultrasound scans to prove the 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡s, and the hospital has also confirmed the delivery.
If verified, the 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡s could break the current Guinness World Record for the most 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in a single delivery, which is currently held by Nadya Suleman, who gave 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to octuplets in 2009. The Guinness World Records organization has not yet confirmed the new record, as they are still reviewing the evidence.
Multiple 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡s, such as twins and triplets, are not uncommon, but giving 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to 10 babies is extremely rare. The cause of such a large multiple 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 is usually due to fertility treatments, but Sithole and her husband claim that they conceived naturally.
