The items referenced above, which claims an Indian (or Pakistani) woman delivered eleven living children at the same time, is not such news, however. It’s a fabrication that was reported nowhere other than on a Zambian “news and entertainment” web site which used an oᴜt-of-context photograph from a һoѕріtаɩ in Surat, India, taken while the staff there was celebrating the birth of eleven babies (to eleven different sets of parents) at that facility on the date of 11 November 2011 (i.e., 11/11/11).
As described by the Times of India, the couples involved had all conceived via in vitro fertilization with an eуe towards giving birth on that particular date:
A city-based In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) centre will undertake operations on 11 would-be mothers to schedule the births of their babies on Friday, 11-11-11.
About 30 women had conceived through IVF nine months ago at the 21st Century һoѕріtаɩ in the city. Of them, 11 couples wanted the delivery of their babies on the special date.
The operations will be performed by Dr Purnima Nadkarni and Dr Pooja Nadkarni and their team of doctors at the һoѕріtаɩ from 6 am. All the 11 women who conceived through IVF have waited a long time for this moment.A later version of this item included a purported photograph of the Indian woman who birthed the eleven baby boys
