Josiam Sitol got up mother of seven boys and three girls who were born in a hospital in the capital of South Africa - Pretoria. Doctors say the case is a real rarity because it is not the result of infertility treatment.
She gave birth by caesarean section, according to local media, informed by her husband Teboho Coteci.
- Josiah was seven months and seven days pregnant. I am happy and excited. I'm sorry, I can't talk much right now, the happy father told the media.
Jossiame told the media during her pregnancy that she was "shocked and fascinated" by the fact that she was carrying so many babies.

They were initially thought to be eight, but tests later confirmed they were ten babies. The babies will spend the next few months in incubators because they are underweight and doctors will fight for their lives.
