5 children are born to a Saudi woman in Al Ahsa

After a cesarean section, a Saudi mother gave birth to 3 boys and 2 girls, all of whom weighed between 1,000 and 1,195 grams, in Al-Ahsa.

58 paramedical personnel, including 13 doctors and 45 medical cadres, managed the procedure. The neonatal intensive care unit first housed the kids for observation before eventually releasing them.

The arrival of the quintuplets has, in fact, made the family happy and attracted media attention. Social media users have been sharing the news and praising the couple on their blessing while also giving prayers for the infants. We at Life in Saudi Arabia pray for the mother’s and the children’s health!

Multiple births have occurred in Saudi Arabia before, therefore this is not unprecedented. Despite being uncommon, they are not brand-new. A Saudi couple with four children at the time was informed in 2018 that the mother is expecting sextuplets.

Under close medical supervision, the mother gave birth to them at Saint George University Hospital in Lebanon. By Allah’s blessing, everyone was in good health, safe, and was living a normal life.
