With God, all things are possible...A 44-year old woman,
Clara Dominique, who has been unable to conceive for 18 years, was last
Saturday delivered of quadruplets. The babies are three girls and a boy. They
were delivered at the Graceland Medical Centre in Benin City, Edo State.
The Nation reports that Mrs. Clara, who got married in 1996,
said it was God’s grace that kept her and her husband through the trials. She
said they refused to keep friends because of the problem.
“I am happy that my husband and I were able to stay together
to this day to witness the blessings of the Lord. My husband has been
encouraging me that God will do it for us. My husband never contemplated
driving me away.
"I was happy when the scan showed it was four.
Sometimes I think of how I will carry the four of them. I have not seen
somebody delivered four babies. It was not easy for me to carry the pregnancy.
At a time the weight of the pregnancy was too much for me.
"I was the one dedicating children at
our church every last Sunday of the month. I was the first to visit anybody
that I knew that gave birth so that I can give them what I have. I am not the
jealous type.
"It was my husband’s cousins that tried to take the
matter up but my husband stopped them. My parents were also there to encourage
us. That was what kept us together because the family pressure was not there.
They knew we were Christians and nobody could penetrate my husband and me."
A doctor at the hospital, Dr. Oni Samson, said the babies
were delivered by caesarean section. She said: “You don’t expect a woman that
is having multiple births to do that through the vaginal. This is the first
time we had quadruplets in this hospital. The children are okay. The ante-natal
was uneventful. They are still under care for them to be stabilized.”
