Precious Ifeanyi, a businesswoman married for 13 years, has given birth to a set of sextuplets at the National Hospital in Abuja.

VerseNews reports that he first-time mother welcomed four girls and two boys through Caesarean Section at 30 weeks, after undergoing In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF).

Initially expecting quintuplets, the couple was surprised during delivery to discover six babies.

Precious Ifeanyi shared her challenging journey of 13 years, including two miscarriages and various attempts to conceive, expressing gratitude to God for the miraculous outcome.

She recounted the difficulties of the pregnancy and the toll it took on her, emphasizing the unique and challenging experience.

Precious Ifeanyi who got married on 3 April 2010 said; “However, since then it has not been easy. We expected children but they were not forthcoming; we went to many places and spent money but no results so we just accepted to wait for God’s time.

“God in His infinite mercy visited us, and here we are today, God has changed the story.”

The happy mother told NAN that within the 13 years she spent expecting a child, she and her husband, a pastor with Living Faith Church, Chikara in Kogi State, spent a lot of money that yielded no result.

She explained that “when you spend money on something and it is not forthcoming, it is very frustrating. My husband and I spent money on medications and kept asking people for suggestions, and went to many places without success.

“It was as if it would never happen, but God turned it around.”

She said this was the first time she tried IVF, and that she started the procedure at Fertile Ground Hospital, Jos, and continued at the National Hospital, Abuja, when she was four months into the pregnancy, and was there till delivery.

Speaking about the pregnancy, she said it was not easy, as it took a huge toll on her.

She said “I have been hearing about pregnancies before; I had two miscarriages, but this one, many things started happening from the second week.

“I knew this one was unique, so I was just enduring. The first three months was not funny, I had relief in the fourth month and after that, it was tedious and not easy at all.

“People who visited me about a month ago saw what I was going through. At a point, I was impatient to deliver so that I could rest.

“The last two weeks before delivery was the climax of it all, I could not sleep, sitting down, standing, and lying down were all not easy.

“However I was encouraged by Dr Bello. The last week he encouraged me to go another week before delivering the babies and I am glad I did because we did not even know that there was an extra baby.”

The sextuplet mother said she could hear the doctors, while performing the CS saying It’s like there is another one and actually there was.”

The sextuplets were delivered at Fertile Ground Hospital in Jos and later at the National Hospital in Abuja.
