Woman Delivers Quadruplets After 18 Years Of Childlessness
Dominique, who had been childless for 18 years, was last
Saturday delivered of quadruplets. The babies are three girls
and a boy. They were delivered at the Graceland Medical
Centre in Benin City, Edo State.
The Nation reports that Mrs. Clara, who got married in 1996,
said it was God's grace that kept her and her husband
through the trials. She said they refused to keep friends
because of the problem:
"I am happy that my husband and I were able to stay
together to this day to witness the blessings of the Lord.
My husband has been encouraging me that God will do it
for us. My husband never contemplated driving me away.
"I was happy when the scan showed it was four.
Sometimes I think of how I will carry the four of them. I
have not seen somebody delivered four babies. It was not
easy for me to carry the pregnancy. At a time the weight of
the pregnancy was too much for me...
"I was the one dedicating children at our church every last
Sunday of the month. I was the first to visit anybody that I
knew that gave birth so that I can give them what I have. I
am not the jealous type.
"It was my husband's cousins that tried to take the matter up
but my husband stopped them. My parents were also there
to encourage us. That was what kept us together because the
family pressure was not there. They knew we were
Christians and nobody could penetrate my husband and I."
A doctor at the hospital, Dr. Oni Samson, said the babies
were delivered by cesarean section. She said: "You don't
expect a woman that is having multiple births to do that
through the vaginal. This is the first time we had quadruplets
in this hospital. The children are okay. The ante-natal was
uneventful. They are still under care for them to be
stabilized."
