A South African woman who claims to have given birth to ten children is interesting for money to add to the large brood, as officials said they will go to her tomorrow to try to check what is a world record stock could be.
Gosiame Sithole, 37, a former retail manager, immediately mentioned that she will not be able to return to work after giving birth on Monday night in Pretoria and is desperate to donate diapers, baby food, bottles, clothing and money to make ends meet.
Sithole, whose husband is unemployed, told Pretoria News that she used up her financial savings by divorcing unpaid work two months after her pregnancy and currently relying on her elderly mother-in-law to take care of the decuplets .
But doubts are raised about Sithole’s account, and officials immediately say they cannot verify the birth as no one has seen her since.
Social workers mentioned that they have been aware of the household since 2016 – when Sithole gave birth to twins – and can send someone to their apartment tomorrow to try to check the brand new supply.
Thabo Masebe, a spokesman for the regional governor, mentioned that there is no hospital in his province, public or private, with a delivery of 10 infants and that such an opportunity can be “difficult to hide”.
If the birth is confirmed as real, it could be a world record – just a month after a Malian woman, Halima Cisse, gave birth to 9 children in Morocco.

The birth of the decuplet was revealed late Monday by Sithole’s husband, Tebogo Tsotetsi (actually), who claimed she gave birth to seven boys and three women
Sithole’s husband, Tebogo Tsotetsi, was the first to announce the birth to journalists late Monday, saying his spouse had given birth to seven boys and three women.
MailOnline was unable to independently confirm the birth as the hospital title was not disclosed.
Feziwe Ndwayana, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Social Development, instructed TimesLIVE, “I can only confirm tomorrow as our social workers will be going to the mother tomorrow.
“We haven’t seen the mother and her children in person, but the mother is our consumer, she has been our consumer since 2016.
“She had twins before and has been our consumer ever since.”
South African media were divided over the alleged birth. Some businesses tried to defend coverage while others were quick to belittle it.
The Pretoria News even revealed a strong column from the editor of another newspaper defending its story.

In the meantime, no one has revealed except photos of Ms. Sithole after the birth or photos of her children, which raises considerable doubts as to their authenticity.
The story first surfaced Tuesday when Pretoria News spoke to Sithole’s husband, Tsotetsi, who allegedly directed them, “There are seven boys and three women. She was seven months and seven days pregnant.
“I feel good. I am emotional. I can’t discuss much. ‘
Underneath, the newspaper then conducted an interview with the couple mentioned, which had been held months before the birth – but so far kept secret.
In that interview, Sithole claimed the doctors initially told her she was pregnant with six children.
But that was increased to eight after a later scan. Only during the current surgical procedure were the two opposite infants found, they said.
Sithole mentioned that she suffered from pregnancy and had an early morning sickness that was later adopted due to pain in her leg.
In the meantime, Tsotetsi announced that he could not initially imagine that his wife would be pregnant with six children, as this was medically unimaginable.

However, Cisse’s children are being cared for in a specialist hospital in Morocco for more than a month after their birth (pictured), having been born prematurely and malnourished
“But after realizing these things were happening and seeing my spouse’s medical information, I got excited. I can’t wait to have her in my arms, ”he said at the time.
The postpartum situation of the children was not clarified by Pretoria News, which first reported the case.
Children with so many pregnancies are almost always born underweight and usually malnourished because the mother’s body struggles to supply vitamins to so many infants.
Even cases of infant mortality are not uncommon after massive birth rates.
Sithole’s case comes just a month after the birth of the world’s first non-uplet in Morocco to Malian lady Halima Cisse.
Cisse, 25, from Timbuktu, was rushed to a hospital in the Malian capital Bamako in March to be kept under a declaration before being flown to Morocco for special hospital treatment after the country’s president intervened .
The adolescents – 5 women and 4 boys – were then given birth on May 4th by 10 doctors and 25 nurses by caesarean section in an advanced operation in which Cisse almost died of blood loss.
Doctors later found that the infants were born significantly underweight and had “defects in every little detail”, but are currently in a stable situation.
As of last week, however, the children in Morocco are being looked after around the clock, with doctors saying that their weight has increased significantly.
But the medics said they still want to be kept under the statement for six weeks prior to considering sending her home.
It is believed that Cisse stayed around after leaving the intensive care unit, where she recovered from a ruptured artery throughout childbirth.
Ms. Cisse’s pregnancy was only the third reported non-uplet case in the historical past.
The first recorded case of nonuplets arrived here in Sydney in the 1970s, although unfortunately none of the infants survived, according to The Independent.
In March 1999, a girl named Zurina Mat Saad was born in Malaysia to a group of nonuplets, none of which survived longer than six hours.
In January 2009, Nadya Suleman – called Octomum – gave birth to eightlings with six boys and two women in a California hospital.
All of them survived the birth and recently celebrated their twelfth birthday.
Ms. Suleman continues to be the official world file owner for the largest Dwell birth.
The infants were a result of IVF treatment and were 9 weeks premature after being delivered by caesarean section.
HOW CAN A WOMAN GIVE TEN BABIES?
Women who have multiple children should not be uncommon, as twins and triplets occur comparatively regularly without scientific intervention.
But a number of higher order pregnancies – 4 adolescents and more – are extremely rare in nature and almost always occur due to fertility drugs.
This is because such a means – which includes IVF – is expensive and the chances of success are comparatively low.
This leads some unscrupulous medical professionals to implant huge numbers of fertilized eggs in a girl’s womb to further increase the chances of a woman developing.
But on rare occasions, some of the embryos – or all of them – begin to grow into fetuses, leading to excessive pregnancies.

In principle, there is no limit to how many children a girl can carry without delay, although the dangers to the well-being of every mother and baby increase with each additional little one.
Women with excessive pregnancies will undoubtedly develop anemia – a lack of iron in the blood, which can damage the immune system and worsen various problems.
Cases of preeclampsia – a situation that can trigger extreme complications and potentially fatal suits – and gestational diabetes – excessive blood sugar that has been linked to postnatal despair – further improve in such cases.
Babies born from a series of pregnancies are almost always given prematurely and tend to be underweight and malnourished.
Cases of infant mortality in the times and weeks after birth are also not uncommon.
Nadya Suleman or “Octomom” made headlines in the US on January 26, 2009 when she gave birth to six boys and two women in California.
The largest group of infants who were born at one time and survived earlier childhood are eight – they were born in 2009 by “Octomum” Natalie Suleman in California.
Ms. Suleman, who has already given birth to six children using IVF, had 12 embryos left. Her doctor implanted them all in her lap without delay.
Her case sparked a heated debate over IVF regulation, with the fertility specialist who conducted the process being stripped of his medical license.
Nine teenagers were born last month to Halima Cisse – a Malian woman – in a hospital in Morocco, where they are still under permanent care.
While all 5 women and 4 boys are labeled “positive” and are gaining weight, doctors say it will likely be no less than another six weeks before they think of sending them home.
Cisse is still able to recover from a ruptured artery she suffered throughout childbirth that almost caused her to bleed to death.
