In an extremely rare case, a 28-year-old woman in Madhya Pradesh delivered 10 babies – but all
stillborn, a doctor said on Monday.
Anju Kushwaha from Koti village in Satna district was being taken to the Sanjay Gandhi Memorial
hospital, 125 km away in neighbouring Rewa district, after she went into labour but she delivered nine
stillborn babies on the way.
A doctor attending to the woman said the medical team was awestruck when Anju’s husband Sanjay presented
before them the nine stillborn babies.
When the medical team examined her, they found one more foetus was in the woman’s womb. It was delivered
early on Monday but again turned out to be stillborn, said the hospital’s assistant superintendent SK
Pathak.
The doctors said it was a case of miscarriage followed by “hyper stimulation syndrome”, where fertility
drugs stimulate the ovaries to produce many egg sacs.
The woman is keeping well, doctors said.
