After turning to IVF treatment after two miscarriages, the unidentified mum-to-be is said to have conceived six girls and six boys. It’s speculated that she’s due to give birth any day now.

Her husband, named only as Marwan, has spoken out about the couple’s bumper pregnancy. “In the beginning, we thought that my wife would give birth to twins but more foetuses were discovered. Our joy increased with the growing number,” he has said.
