An Egyptian woman gave birth to triplet girls at a hospital in Dubai after six years of infertility and doctors said the mother and the babies are in good condition despite the premature delivery, the press reported on Saturday.

The unnamed woman, who was married more than six years ago, had a caesarian operation at Barraha hospital after she suffered from severe pains.

“This is a rare case as it involves triplets and the delivery was in the seventh month……the operation was necessary to save the three,” said Dr Samiha Khouri, head of the gynecology section at the hospital.

The official news agency Wam quoted Ahmed Alkhadeem, the hospital’s director, as saying the mother and the babies were in good condition and had no complications. “This is a rare case as it happens once in every 8,000 pregnancy cases…such cases normally have complications,” he said.

weight of the babies ranges between 1200-1300 grams and are kept in the incubators for a period between 6 to 8 weeks.
