Meet Hauwa’u Suleiman, The Nigerian Mother Of 13 Who Just Had Quadruplets

Children are a blessing by for it Hauwa’u Suleiman may be more like a curse.

The 34-year mother who has 13 children recently welcomed quadruplets. This brings the total number to 17 and makes it her eighth delivery.

She put to bed at Gambo Sawaba General Hospital, Zaria, on Friday, June 5.

However, she and the babies were transferred to the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH) for better care.

Sulaiman, however, said that the only male among the quadruplets died before they arrived ABUTH.

She said that the remaining three infants had been placed under observation at the pediatrics care unit and she (the mother) had been receiving medical care at the maternity ward.

She said that she received two bags of blood during the delivery processes.

“I am very healthy and strong but the medical experts advised that I need to be monitored very well before they can discharge me,’’ she said.

Her husband, Malam Sulaiman Mohammed, also said that his wife had twice in the past given birth to a set of triplets; a set of twins two times, and given birth to three babies at different times before the quadruplets.

Mohammed, a driver, expressed gratitude to Allah for the wonderful gift of the babies.
