She was seven months and seven days pregnant. I am happy. I am emotional. I can\u2019t talk much. Let\u2019s talk again in the morning please,\u201d Tsotetsi said.In an interview at their family home in Tembisa last month and the publication of which was delayed at the request of the couple for safety and cultural reasons, Sithole said she was shocked and fascinated by the pregnancy.She said she had been in a state of disbelief when the doctors told her earlier this year that she was expecting six children (sextuplets) before further scans showed that it was in fact octuplets.Two others could not be detected initially because they were inside the wrong tube, Sithole said.\u201cI am shocked by my pregnancy. It was tough at the beginning. I was sick. It was hard for me. It\u2019s still tough but I am used to it now. I don\u2019t feel the pain anymore, but it\u2019s still a bit tough. I just pray for God to help me deliver all my children in a healthy condition, and for me and my children to come out alive. I would be pleased about it,\u201d Sithole said.The retail store manager said she was initially dubious when the doctors told her she was pregnant with octuplets.\u201cI didn\u2019t believe it. I doubted it. I was convinced that if it was more, it would be twins or triplets, not more than that. When the doctor told me, I took time to believe it. Even when I saw the scans I didn\u2019t believe it. But, as time went by, I realised it was indeed true. I battled to sleep at night though.\u201dSithole had sleepless nights worrying about how her unborn children.\u201cHow would they fit in the womb? Would they survive? What if they came out conjoined at the head, in the stomachs or hands? Like, what would happen? I asked myself all these questions until the doctor assured me that my womb was starting to expand inside. God made a miracle and my children stayed in the womb without any complications.\u201dSithole said that even it wasn\u2019t an easy journey, she was over the moon and looking forward to her children.\u201cInitially there were six children. Only to find that the other two were in the wrong tube. My legs were painful. The doctors did further scans and they found the children were in the wrong tube. That was sorted and I have been okay since then. I can\u2019t wait for my children. We have already given them names.\u201dTsotetsi, who is unemployed, said he was also overwhelmed by shock when he was told about the pregnancy.\u201cI could not believe it. I felt like one of God\u2019s chosen children. I felt blessed to be given these kinds of blessings when many people out there need children. It\u2019s a miracle which I appreciate. I had to go do my own research on whether a person could really conceive eight children. It was a new thing. I knew about twins, triplets and even quadruplets,\u201d Tsotetsi said.\u201cBut after I found out that these things do happen, and saw my wife\u2019s medical records, I got even more excited. I can\u2019t wait to have them in my arms.\u201dHe said Sithole went through a lot because she experienced leg pains eight weeks into her pregnancy, followed by heartburn.Professor Dini Mawela, the deputy head of the school of medicine at the Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University, said Sithole\u2019s case was rare and usually caused by fertility treatments.The children would spend the next few months in the incubator because it was a \u201chigh risk\u201d pregnancy, Mawela said.\u201cIt\u2019s quite a unique situation. I don\u2019t know how often it happens. It\u2019s extremely high risk (pregnancy). It\u2019s a highly complex and high-risk situation. The danger is that, because there is not enough space in the womb for the children, the tendency is that they will be small. What would happen is that they would take them out pre-term because there is a risk if they keep them longer in there. The babies will come out small, chances of survival compromised. But all this depends on how long she carried them for.\u201dShe said that the causes of such pregnancies were \u201ceither nature or somebody who was having fertility treatment\u201d.
