A woman has
given birth to a whopping seven babies - six girls and a little boy - in a
single, natural birth. Hats off to that woman.
All the
children, and the mum, are reportedly in 'perfect condition' and doing well
following the birth.
The
incredible arrival occurred at a hospital in the Diyali Province of eastern
Iraq and is believed to be the first septuplet birth in the country.

shortly after the birth show the adorable little babies lying together, after
they had been given medical checks and were all found to be in good health.
The
25-year-old mother hasn't been named, but Firas Al Izzawi, a spokesperson for
the local health department has said it was a natural birth and that she was
'perfectly healthy' following the multiple deliveries.
Last year, a
woman in Lebanon gave birth to sextuplets - three boys and three girls. All the
babies survived the birth and were able to go home where their four other
siblings were waiting.

Fadl said that he and his wife hadn't been considering having any more
children, which seems fair enough given that they've already got 10.

And last
summer, two parents beat one in 200 million odds to have identical triplets.
Sian Williams, 31, and her partner Aaron Palfrey, welcomed three gorgeous
little girls into the world - Jorgie, Olivia and Belle.
Sian said:
"I was excited to be having one baby, but in the scan the doctor picked up
two heart beats and then a third one. One little egg had created three
miracles.
"The
doctors told us they were identical and the odds of that happening without
fertility drugs was one in 200 million.
"We
were completely speechless and stunned. At our 15-week scan we found out we
were expecting three girls."
Mum Sian
even came up with a clever little hack to tell her daughters apart - painting
their toenails different colours. Clever, eh?
Sian added:
"It is pure bliss watching them grow. Of course it's hard work but we love
every minute of it.
"We've
swapped our Mercedes for a sensible family Land Rover - it is much easier to
fit in three baby car seats." Sensible decision.
