Earlier this month, another mother gave birth to quadruplets in the Bhakkar district of Punjab, India.
In October a 35-year-old housewife, named Sabira, gave birth to quintuplets – three girls and two boys – at the Khyber Teaching Hospital in Peshawar.
Sabira, who already had two older children aged eight and four with her husband Ibrahim, 40, had been rushed to hospital for emergency treatment, although she and the newborns were allowed to leave for home soon afterwards.
That same month another woman had three boys and a girl in the Mianwalki district of Punjab, while in June a woman had five babies at the Government Allama Iqbal Memorial DHQ Hospital, also in Punjab.
She gave birth to four sons and a daughter, although one boy and the girl died just a few hours after their birth.
