Umm, No Way!
This shocking story is legit unbelievable. Women have one or two babies at a time, yes? Sometimes, very rarely, they may even have triplets. This though, is the extent of the female reproductive capacity.
Or so we thought.
I present to you the bizarre birth of 11 children in a single pregnancy.
Don't believe me? See for yourself.
Bizarrely Enough, This Is A True Story
I know, my brain is churning too. How can one woman carry eleven babies for a gestation period of nine months? How did she not physically explode?
Is this even medically possible?
In Indianapolis, 42 year old Hernandez gave birth to 11 children by a miraculous vaginal birth.
How this happened? Read on, it isn't purely natural.
Pregnant Goddess
Hernandez and her husband had been trying to have a baby for a long time. Natural processes didn't work so they turned to IVF treatment.
Little did she think she would get impregnated with 11 children.
Hernandez knew and was excited. A brave soul, she delivered all the babies naturally, without a C-section.
What's even cooler though, is the state of the babies born.
Eleven Babies
The absolute miracles of this incident are the babies themselves.
Hernandez gave birth to eleven baby boys, and all of them were full term children, healthy and nourished.
The even cooler part? 6 of the 11 boys are identical twins!
Read on to understand her delivery and how this really is, a birth for the records.
The Delivery
Hernandez's delivery room experience can be envied by mothers everywhere.
Her labour lasted only two hours and all 11 children came out within the span of 17 minutes!
Most of the doctors were shocked, a delivery this successful with multiple children is unheard of without a caesarian section.
The doctors said the children just popped out of her, one after another.
Healthy and Wealthy
Hernandez even had a 38 week gestation period, unheard of with a multiple pregnancy.
The children are all healthy and under post natal care in Riley Children's Hospital.
The coolest bit? They might be eligible for a Guinness Book of World Records victory, a prize that will get them a lot of money.
We wish their family a good life.
