A 46-year-old housewife, Malama Delu Alhaji-Ali, of Unguwar Namanda
village, Faskari Local Government Area of Katsina State, has been
delivered of a set of triplets during what was her 12th consecutive
childbirth.
Delu gave birth to the triplets at the Comprehensive Health Care Centre in Faskari on Saturday.
Hajia
Binta Suleiman, the Nursing Officer in charge of the health centre’s
maternity ward, said that both the mother and her three baby boys were
in stable condition.
Suleiman said that Delu was delivered of
the babies unassisted, adding, however, that she had been on admission
in the hospital for the last four days when officials noticed that her
expected date of delivery was fast approaching.
Suleiman said
that the set of triplets was the first recorded in the hospital this
year, and she urged Delu’s husband and relations as well as the local
government authorities to assist the mother by ensuring that she had
access to nutritious foods.
Meanwhile, Hajia Sa’adatu
Faskari-Ahmad, the wife of Faskari Local Government Council’s Caretaker
Committee Chairman, has donated some clothes and cash to the woman and
her triplets.
Faskari-Ahmad congratulated Delu, stressing that the triplets were a rare and extraordinary blessing from Allah.
Responding, Delu expressed appreciation for the gifts and the support she received from the hospital workers.
She said that the triplets bring the number of her children to 14 since all her previous eleven births were single babies.
Delu,
however, recalled that before giving birth to the triplets, she
experienced some abnormalities during the initial stage of the
pregnancy.
She said that although the responsibility of taking
care of the three children would be quite challenging for her, she would
overcome the challenges with Allah's support.
