Mum Gave Birth To 10 Babies. Doctors Were Shocked When They Realized One of Them Isn’t a Baby –

“It was the rarest thing that ever happened for a woman to deliver 10 babies in a single birth. It was almost supernatural, and the doctors were full of awe. But deep dread overtook them when they saw that one of them wasn’t a baby.

The hour had come; Halima knew this, and part of her was so relieved and excited. However, the other part of her was hyperventilating. She asked one of the nurses to help her through breathing exercises. When they were done, the nurse stayed back and asked what the matter was.

Halima wanted to say it was nothing and brush it away. But when she looked into the nurse’s face, she saw genuine concern there. It was so unexpected that Halima reacted on impulse; she burst into tears and wouldn’t stop, no matter how much the nurse rubbed her back and begged her to stop…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

“I’m scared,” Halima admitted through tears. “What if something goes wrong with the babies or even me?”

The moment this question left her lips, Halima felt like a burden was lifted off her shoulders. For weeks leading up to this day, it had been a nagging thought that she hadn’t dared to voice out so she wouldn’t invite bad luck. But it was there in her bones, her breathing, and in every thought that crossed her mind.

The nurse held Halima’s hand and looked her in the eye. “There’s no guarantee about what will happen in the delivery room today, but I do know one thing. This clinic has handled more unique births than you can ever imagine. There would be 10 doctors and 25 paramedics in that room with you, me included. And all of us come with faith and unique medical skills. We won’t lose you or the babies.”

At this assurance, Halima started crying again and profusely thanked the nurse. She shyly added that the pregnancy hormones made her more emotional than normal, leading to these outbursts. The kind nurse understood, and other nurses soon joined them. They prepared Halima for delivery, with her mind finally at ease. Halima slipped into a dreamless sleep once she was sedated.

History was about to take place in that delivery room, but the medics who were assembled didn’t know it yet. They thought they were about to witness the birth of septuplets — that was a big deal all on its own. But it wasn’t the most unique thing ever; septuplets already existed in the world.

Also, the staff at this hospital weren’t caring for Halima out of ego. They weren’t out to prove anything to the world except to ensure the safety of the mother and the children. In this very complicated surgery, it wasn’t that the surgery itself was complicated, but there were too many variables to consider if they wanted to ensure success.

Halima and her husband, Abdul Ker, were originally from Timbuktu in the African country of Mali. Timbuktu was beautiful; it had electricity, clean water, and was a friendly community. But they didn’t have the medical capacity to handle a case of multiple pregnancies of that magnitude.

It was why Abdul Ker had acted urgently when Halima’s OBGYN revealed that she was pregnant with seven babies. He had contacted Mali’s authorities seeking help for his wife and their unborn babies. He had prayed that they paid attention to his cry for help.

It had been obvious that without outside intervention, Halima would be in a dire state. During her first trimester, Halima had been severely sick. She had been throwing up so much that she got emaciated. All the experienced mothers in the neighborhood had prepared different remedies for her to help with the nausea, but it had been futile. Halima couldn’t leave her bed; she felt weak and was constantly dizzy.

Abdul Cader had been terrified that he would lose her before the pregnancy even had a chance to progress. He had waited on her hand and foot and refused to allow her to undergo any strain. He had also read up on his wife’s symptoms and had been mildly relieved to discover that the first trimester was the hardest for women in most cases.

True to his hopes, the symptoms had abated once Halima entered the second trimester. But she had been too large even for seven babies. At 20 weeks of pregnancy, her feet had started swelling up; she had severe back pain that wouldn’t let her sleep at night, and she was always sweating, no matter how airy the room was.

The doctors in Timbuktu had recommended that Halima be flown to a special clinic in Morocco. That clinic was suited for women carrying multiple babies. Abdul Cader had known that on his soldier’s earnings, he couldn’t afford to take his wife there. He had seen how she was suffering, and it had hurt him to be unable to make it go away.

He had intensified his efforts to contact Mali’s authorities, and it had worked. The authorities had arranged for Halima to be flown to Casablanca in Morocco, where the specialized clinic was located. They had covered all expenses.

Halima had been 25 weeks pregnant when she was admitted to the hospital. She had looked so exhausted and had begged the doctors to let her give birth already. However, the doctors had known better. They had taken her vitals, run scans, and seen that Halima and her babies were in a precarious situation. They had been afraid for their safety, but they hadn’t told the parents-to-be.

Instead, the doctors had informed Abdul Cader and Halima that giving birth at 25 weeks would lessen the children’s chance of survival. A pregnancy carried to term was usually between 38 and 40 weeks, so Halima couldn’t give birth 14 weeks early, no matter the physical discomfort she was facing. They had assured her that they’d do everything in their power to make her comfortable until the babies came.

Out of fright, Halima had asked if they were planning on waiting until 38 weeks. They had quickly dismissed those fears, promising her that it would be much easier. After prolonging the inevitable for 5 weeks, the time had finally come for the babies to come out.

During the C-section, the medics discovered three more babies in Halima’s belly. In total, Halima gave birth to 10 babies at once. It was incredible and beyond everyone’s wildest imaginations. It was unheard of for a woman to deliver that much at a go. However, since the babies were born prematurely, they were tiny. The smallest weighed 500 grams, which is equal to 1 pound. Other children were above that weight, but the heaviest didn’t weigh more than 1 kg, which is a little over 2 pounds.

Normal babies carried to term usually weigh between 3 to 4 kg. Doctors had anticipated the severe underweight of these babies and had rushed them off to the clinic’s highly advanced neonatal care unit. Fortunately, only one of the babies was tagged an emergency baby — it was the one-B baby. He was urgently attended to and survived. They were all placed in incubators and watched over by the hospital staff round the clock.

The medics were so relieved that so many babies survived. They felt immense gratitude for this good fortune because they had only expected to keep up to five of them alive with their mother, Halima. With the baby safe, the rest

of the medics turned their attention to Halima, who was fighting for her life. She had suffered internal bleeding, and the electrocardiogram revealed her heart rate was dropping rapidly. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

In the blink of an eye, it flatlined, and there was a second of complete silence as everyone stared in shock. Then, a flurry of activities followed. The doctors brought the defibrillator and tried three times to resuscitate Halima before her heart rate picked up on the electrocardiogram. They swiftly operated on her and staunched the bleeding.

Somewhere in the middle of surgery, she slipped into a coma. The doctors’ hands were tied; they had done all they could. The rest was up to God. Abdul Ker couldn’t hide his terror when he was informed of Halima’s state. She was unconscious, and no one knew when or if she would wake up.

The days that followed were delicate and especially hard on Abdul Ker. He was emotional because he loved his wife so much and couldn’t bear the thought of losing her. He was a hardened soldier who had bravely scaled through dangerous missions and fought against bloodthirsty criminals. But at the sight of his wife lying helplessly in the hospital, he was reduced to shoulder-wrecking sobs.

He knelt beside her bed, held her hand in his, and pleaded with her to open her eyes. There was no response from her. Tearfully, he kissed her palm and her wrist, feeling the blood pumping there and her warmth. It comforted him a bit. He shut his eyes and prayed to the Almighty for mercy.

He stayed by her side for several hours and didn’t move from there, not even to go see his kids. Abdul Ker traveled down memory lane to the incredible day he met Halima a few years ago. She had recently started her studies and lived in the female dorm on campus.

He had been gravely injured while on assignment to track down some criminals. He had barely escaped from them with his life intact and had to hide where they couldn’t find him. With the last of his strength, he had rushed into the campus. It had been late evening, and most students hadn’t yet returned to their rooms.

He had climbed up a balcony and snuck into a random room in the female dorm to hide. That room had belonged to Halima, and she had found him there after lights out when she came in to get ready for bed. Halima had shuffled backward and tripped at the sight of the unknown bloodied man in her room. He had begged her not to shout and had asked for help.

It had been so obvious that Halima was afraid. Her hands had been trembling, and there had been goosebumps on her arms. However, she had summoned bravery and had helped as best as she could. She had administered first aid, tucked him into a comfortable position to nap, and the next day, she had followed his instructions to contact the general in charge of his company.

That had saved his life. With the intel that Abdul Ker had on the criminals, they had been caught and apprehended. Weeks after that day, Abdul Ker hadn’t been able to get Halima out of his mind. He was in love with the brave woman. He had met her father and asked for his permission to court her. After they had courted for some months, he had proposed, she had accepted, and they had gotten married.

Abdul Cader highly valued education and hadn’t let Halima drop out. Many of his peers weren’t like him; when they married a young woman, they often made her withdraw from school to focus on being a housewife. But Abdul Ker had done the contrary; he had insisted she continue her education.

A year after their marriage, Halima gave birth to their first child, a beautiful daughter. When the girl was a year and over, they had found out they were expecting again. That had been a joyous occasion until Halima had gone for her scan, and it had revealed multiple pregnancies.

There had been so many challenges associated with it, especially the cost of medical attention and care for the babies. Abdul Ker had written through his superiors to the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Mali. They had intervened when they heard of the situation, and the couple were momentarily relieved of the financial burden.

However, it had come at a cost. The details of Halima’s delivery and the babies were made public, and the media already got wind of Halima’s unconscious state and that the babies were over seven and in the incubator. Recalling all they had gone through, Abdul Ker needed Halima to survive so that they could continue their journey together. Nothing made sense without her.

Three days after Halima gave birth, she woke up. Abdul Ker was in the room with her, absentmindedly flicking through channels on the TV. He turned to check on her, as had become his manner to do every few minutes, and saw that her eyes were open. He eagerly rushed to her side and asked how she was feeling.

“I’m so thirsty. May I have some water?” she croaked out. He alerted a nearby nurse, and together, both of them helped her to a sitting position and gave her water.

Some hours later, Halima was feeling stronger and said that she’d like to see her babies. Abdul Ker wheeled her there in a wheelchair; she still needed to recover a little more before she began walking. Their babies were beautiful and doing well. Halima found out for the first time that she had delivered 10 children, but doctors were shocked when they realized one of them wasn’t a baby. It was a much more underdeveloped and nonviable fetus that didn’t form well and had to be cast away.

She was sad to learn this but rejoiced that they had nine surviving children — four boys and five girls. Halima took her time memorizing the faces and unique features of her babies. Abdul Ker also learned later that their family was making headlines all around the world because of the incredible occurrence of birthing nine children in a single birth. Many people were eager to support the family and sent money to them.

At the end of the day, the total amount of money that they received in the first month neared over a million dollars. The couple were in shock; it was beyond anything that they could have hoped for, enough to cover the bills and take care of the children for the foreseeable future.

Three months after delivery, Halima confessed to a reporter that she always desired a big family since she was an only child and wasn’t against having more children, even though her hands were jam-packed. The children went through 6 liters of milk and 100 diapers a day. The family moved into an apartment in Morocco to stay close to the clinic for monitoring.

They returned to Mali 19 months after the children were born. Many of them were crawling, and some even walked if they held onto something. They were all healthy. They got awarded the Guinness World Record for the most babies in a single birth. The former holder was Nadia Suleman with eight babies in 2009. Nadia was popularly known as Octomom and had taken in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Halima’s birth was natural, and she took the records in May 2021 — the world’s first set of nonuplets.

How would you feel if you found out you were about to have nine children?”

Woman mourned the death of her husband at his funeral ‘only to find him at her doorstep 4 days later’!

Published

The unfortunate woman, Victoria, told local news outlets that she ended the year with a tragedy. During a visit to the local hospital, she was told by hospital staff that her husband, Julio, passed away from c0ronavirus.

She reportedly identified the body that she was shown in the hospital morgue, after which the medical staff released the corpse to the grieving wife.

Making arrangements to pay the last respects to her husband, Victoria, arranged to have Julio’s body be taken 30 miles away from the hospital to her village in Honduras.

She then spent one entire night surrounded by distressed relatives as they had an all-night wake before his final burial the next day…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

On the day of the funeral, Julio’s children saw the open coffin and found something amiss. They took a look at the body and wondered whether it was really that of their father’s.

But despite their doubts, the relatives reportedly went ahead with the ceremony and the man was laid to rest in a funeral that Victoria spent more than $430.

In the days that followed, Victoria continued grieving for her husband until, out of nowhere, she saw Julio himself arrive back at their house on the fourth day since the funeral was held.

“That wasn’t my husband who died, because I have my husband here now. I recognised him,” the wife said, as quoted by the Daily Mail.

It was only after her husband returned home that Victoria discovered he had been missing for a few days because he went for a walk and fell over at a spot in the neighboring municipality.

Unable to get up, the man spent several days there, surviving without anything to drink or eat. He was later found injured in a field before his return home. Although her husband was back, it also meant that she buried a complete stranger in her village and her family has no idea who they were grieving for.

“I would like them to give me back some of what I spent, because they gave me the body of someone I don’t know,” Victoria shared.

“The authorities at the morgue should have properly examined him to see if it was really him.”

But on the other hand, the hospital said that the wife was to blame for misidentifying the man as her husband. They confirmed that the man arrived with Covid-19, and because of his serious condition, he didn’t survive in the hospital for more than a few hours.

The hospital staff had a look at the picture Victoria was carrying of her husband, and they found him to resemble the body of the man in the morgue. In addition to this, Victoria herself recognized the body at the time as that of her husband’s.

The hospital director reportedly said, “The logical thing was to bring the body back so we could investigate.

But later the relatives called back and said he was the right person after all and they were going to bury him.

We have everything documented. We even have an apology from one of the children, if this becomes a lawsuit.”

A Girl Rushed Out Of McDonald’s Bathroom Crying, Then Her Mom Saw Something Wrong On Her Legs

The restaurant was packed with hungry customers busy eating at their tables when the customers’ attention shifted to a four-year-old girl named Kayla running towards her mom. Kayla’s face was filled with tears, and she was hysterically crying when she reached her mom’s arm. While Kayla’s mom, Nicole, was comforting her daughter, she asked her daughter what was wrong. Kayla was still crying and couldn’t speak; she continued sobbing like she was in deep pain. That was when Nicole started scanning her daughter’s body and saw what was wrong.

There was something on Kayla’s leg. Hello, wonderful people! I’m Jamie Buck from Wonderbot, and here is a story about a girl who rushed out of a McDonald’s bathroom crying.

It was during New Year’s Day when Nicole and her daughter Kayla decided to spend their day at the park and buy some food at McDonald’s. It was Kayla’s favorite fast food. The two were so excited to spend time together and bond at the park. While Nicole was closing their front door, she turned to Kayla and asked her if she was ready to have fun. Kayla nodded her head with excitement, having no idea what was about to come to them.

When Nicole and Kayla arrived at the park, the piercing sun was shimmering down on them. It was a perfect bright day to spend at the park. Kayla immediately ran towards the roundabout and asked her mom to spin her. You could hear Kayla’s giggle throughout the playground while her mom was spinning her. Nicole’s phone started ringing, and she turned around to answer the call while Kayla got off the roundabout to go to the slides.

While Nicole was busy talking on her phone, she suddenly heard a scream. Nicole quickly ended her call when she realized it was Kayla. The moment Nicole got off the phone, she turned around to find Kayla had fallen from the slide and scratched her head. She was so worried about what had happened and continued comforting her daughter while she was sobbing. After a while, when Kayla had finally calmed down, she asked her mom if she could get food already.

Nicole immediately stood up and told her daughter, “Yes, of course, dear.” The two left the park and drove off to the nearest McDonald’s, which was about 10 minutes away from where they were. Little did Nicole know that it would have been better if they just ate somewhere else. When Nicole and Kayla arrived at McDonald’s and walked into the restaurant, they noticed that the place was filled with people. Nicole’s attention was caught by a group of teenagers that were seated in the corner of the restaurant.

The group was listening to music while sipping on their soda. Two of the teenagers suddenly turned their look at Nicole and her daughter and sniggered. What could those two be thinking? It was mentioned earlier the restaurant was packed, so it’s no surprise that the line was long too. After what seemed like forever standing in line, it was finally Nicole’s turn to order.

While she was ordering their food, she asked Kayla to sit at the table in the corner and wait there while she was ordering food. Kayla politely followed her mom’s instructions and sat at the table while watching a video on YouTube on her mom’s phone. But then suddenly, a scream was heard throughout the restaurant. A scream came from the teenager that was sitting in the corner of the restaurant. The group started a fight and were yelling at each other.

Nicole immediately walked over to Kayla and comforted her, trying to drive her attention away from the battle by making her watch YouTube videos. Staff from the restaurant quickly went to the group to break up the fight and kick them out of the place. While the group was kicked out, two teenage girls from the circle were still sitting at the table. It was finally time to eat. The smell of burgers and fries lingered in the air as Nicole and Kayla started digging into their well-deserved lunch.

Kayla was eating a Happy Meal while Nicole was eating her chicken burger and some fries. In the middle of their mealtime, Kayla suddenly looked at her mom with a stern but innocent look. “Mommy, I need to use the toilet,” Kayla whispered as she finished the last bite of her cheeseburger. Kayla wiped her hands and got up to go to the toilet. When she walked over, she noticed the lock was shut.

There must be someone in there, she thought. She looked back at her mom, who smiled at her. Suddenly, she heard something. It was coming from inside the toilet. Giggles and laughs could be heard while Kayla was patiently waiting outside the toilet. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

After a couple of minutes remaining, the door opened, and the two teenage girls from earlier went out of the bathroom together with a smirk on their faces. Nicole was intimidated by the girls as she watched them walk past Kayla. Nicole then signaled her daughter to enter the toilet and assured Kayla that she’ll stay outside and wait for her. While Nicole was patiently waiting for Kayla at her table, she heard a scream coming from the toilet. “Mom!

Kayla screamed while running out of the bathroom with tears streaming down her face. Nicole immediately stood up from her seat, not minding her bag that fell onto the floor. As a mother, one thing that you never want to hear is the sound of your kid screaming. Kayla ran into her mom’s arms, sobbing. In the toilet, she says, Nicole immediately went to the toilet to check what was wrong.

She scanned the whole room and thought there was nothing wrong there, so she continued studying to see what could be the reason behind her daughter’s outburst. She saw that there were a few toilet paper rolls rolled out on the floor, and the faucet was dripping. Nicole checked the toilet seat, and that is when she figured the reason for her child’s outburst. When she went to the toilet seat, she noticed that it looked like the chair was covered with a white sticky substance. But as Nicole got closer to inspect, she realized that it was glue.

The toilet seat was smothered with super glue. She then realized that someone did this on purpose. Nicole stormed out of the toilet while her heart was pounding and yelled to call the manager and all employees in the restaurant. Nicole went over to her daughter, who was still crying and yelling in pain. She checked on Kayla to see what was wrong and saw that her daughter’s skin was peeled off at the back of her legs.

While Kayla was still crying in her mother’s arms, Kayla was terrified of what happened, and her mother was furious. Nicole yelled out for help in the crowd while stopping her tears from falling out of her eyes. Joanna, the assistant manager at McDonald’s, thought that she had seen it all, from small fights over a Big Mac to a drunk customer and misbehaving teens. She was trained and was already used to handling heated situations. She knew what to do to solve problems, but in her 15 years in the industry, it was the first time to see and experience something like this.

She had never seen anything like this. The moment Nicole asked for help, Joanna and her co-employees all gathered around Kayla and provided medical assistance. The staff helped in cleaning the wound and bandaging her up while Kayla was crying in her mom’s chest. After that, Nicole decided to go to the nearest hospital, so she called a family member to come and get them. But the assistance that was given to them was not enough for Nicole.

She knew that there was something that she needed to do. Nicole took the matter to her social media account and shared on her personal Facebook what happened, hoping that this would bring the pranksters to justice. On her post, Nicole wrote, “To the two young blonde girls that thought it would be hilarious to put super glue on the disabled and baby changing toilet in McDonald’s, I just want you to know that I still have to console my four-year-old daughter who was unfortunate enough to use the toilet after your little prank. She is hoping that the two teenage girls who played the prank on her daughter would be found and punished. Kayla is just an innocent little girl and does not deserve all of this.

After some investigations, the two teenage girls were finally found and were interviewed by the police officers. The two girls immediately admitted what they did and sincerely apologized to Nicole and Kayla. The two girls said they were regretting what they did and that it was a prank gone wrong. But was the apology enough for Nicole and daughter Kayla? Imagine Kayla, a four-year-old who would have to live her life with this terrible memory marked in her mind.

After hearing that the police had taken appropriate action against the two teenage girls, Nicole felt relieved. It’s been weeks since the incident happened, and the things that happened that day are still fresh in her mind. She watches as her daughter peacefully plays with her dolls. Some justice finally, she thought to herself. She takes a sip of her cup of coffee before smiling to herself and watching her brave daughter playing.

Such a story right? This story just proves to show that pranks can be a fun way to trick your friends, but it can result in a bad scenario. Hopefully, Nicole and Kayla’s experience will remind those people who love doing pranks and tricks on their friends to think twice about the people they would upset all for the sake of a laugh. So next time you want to play a prank on someone, make sure to think about it first and that no one will get hurt.

The bus driver picked up the children early in the morning as usual, and the parents found out they were not at school

Published

Black ice (a thin layer of new ice on a road) is dangerous. If you have ever tried to walk or ride it then you know.

This is why the parents of Shelby County were not surprised when they were informed that school would start late because they had to wait for the ice on the road to melt.

Unfortunately, bus driver Wayne Price did not receive the message on time. He had already collected all the children, and knew that returning them to their homes
would only increase the chance of an accident. So instead, he did something completely different…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Instead of parking the bus and letting the kids play on the smartphone for two hours, he knew he needed to do something to keep them busy.

His actions may not have been according to the book, but they also did not surprise elementary school principals in Montevallo, Alabama.

Understand, they know Wayne. They know he is capable of doing such a ‘trick’.

But the children did not know what to expect. When they stopped at a local McDonald’s branch they must have wondered if Wayne had lost it. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Turns out he just wanted to buy all the kids breakfast, and paid for everyone’s breakfast instead of the breakfast they were supposed to eat at school.

To put things in perspective, there were between 40 and 50 kids on Wayne’s bus, so you can imagine how much the bill came out. School principals responded to the
gesture on Facebook and wrote: “Mr. Price, one of our bus drivers, really demonstrated the holiday spirit! On Tuesday, when school started late because of ice on the
road and we could not serve breakfast, he bought breakfast at McDonalds for all the kids who were on the bus! What a wonderful gesture that the students will
remember forever!”

After hearing every good deed of the bus driver, people from all over the world flooded Wayne with messages of support and encouragement.

What a beautiful thing to do, and what a wonderful way to do above and beyond for kids who he so obviously care about!

If you think Wayne Price’s deed is commendable, share the article with your friends and family!
