Dr Hilary talks about the dangers of fertility treatment as it is announced that one woman is pregnant with 12 babies.
woman, an unnamed schoolteacher from the town of Gafsa, says she conceived the 12 babies through fertility treatments. Local fertility experts have confirmed that the Tunisian woman, who had suffered several miscarriages, is indeed pregnant with 12 babies--six boys and six girls.
Of course, such a pregnancy is fraught with risk for the mother and the 12 babies. The strain of having so many children could force the mother into labor in just the 20th week of pregnant.
The unidentified woman is receiving constant medical attention to ensure as safe a delivery as possible. The woman's husband, named Marwan, says that she hopes to deliver all 12 babies naturally, although the odds of that actually happening are slim.
