  • Woman gave birth to twins from different fathers after having sex with two men on same day

    Woman gave birth to twins from different fathers after having sex with two men on same day

    Deemed as a one-in-a-million conception, a 19-year-old Brazilian woman gave birth to twins nine months after having sex with two men on the same day.

    As the first birthday of the twins approached the mother began having doubts over who the father of the twins was.

    Putting an end to her curiosity, she decided to take a paternity test to confirm her suspicions, local news outlet news outlet Globo reported.
    The woman originally suspected only one of the two men to be the father of the twins, so she collected his DNA — but it only turned up positive for one child.

    “I remembered that I had had sex with another man and called him to take the test, which was positive,” the new mom, who asked not to be identified, told the outlet. “I was surprised by the results. I didn’t know this could happen. They are very similar.”

    Dr. Tulio Jorge Franco, the woman’s attending physician, told local news outlet Globo, “It is possible to happen when two eggs from the same mother are fertilized by different men. The babies share the mother’s genetic material, but they grow in different placentas.”

    Dr. Franco admitted he never thought he would see a situation like this in his lifetime as it’s “one in a million” — and claims there are only about 20 other instances in the world like it.

  • Miss Universe will allow married women, mothers to compete

    Miss Universe will allow married women, mothers to compete

    The Miss Universe Organisation (MUO) recently announced that it has decided to allow married women, women who are pregnant or those who have children to compete in the global beauty pageant.

    The Miss Universe pageant has updated its 70-year-old eligibility rule. Currently, the rule states that only single women aged 18 and 28, who have never been married or had children are allowed to apply.

    The new rules will take effect for the 72nd Miss Universe pageant in 2023.

    “We all believe that women should have agency over their lives and that a human’s personal decisions should not be a barrier to their success,” said an internal memo from within the Miss Universe organisation, which is available with The National.

    Andrea Meza, who represented Mexico in the pageant and was crowned Miss Universe 2020, shared a message for those criticising this new rule. 

    “A few people are against these changes because they always wanted to see a single beautiful woman who is available for a relationship,” she said. “They always wanted to see a woman that from the outside looks so perfect that she’s almost unreachable. The former is sexist and the latter is unrealistic.”

    “Just like in any other industry, women are capable of having demanding leadership positions without or with a family, it is no different in this case,” she said. 

  • Female doctor commits suicide over accusation of pregnant woman’s death

    A female doctor committed suicide after she was accused of killing a pregnant woman during delivery complications in Rajasthan, India. The family of the pregnant woman, who died on Tuesday, accused Dr Archna Sharma of her death.

    Police say Dr Archna Sharma was tense over the case. When she returned home, she committed suicide by hanging herself. The doctor wrote a suicide note as well before taking her life.

    “I made no mistake, the patient died of a complication during childbirth,” wrote Dr Sharma.

    She also wrote that innocent doctors should not be harassed by the authorities. She also hoped that her death will prove her innocence.

  • Pregnant woman hammers nail into own head because of ‘Fake Aamil’

    Pregnant woman hammers nail into own head because of ‘Fake Aamil’

    On the instructions of a ‘fake Aamil’, a pregnant woman hammered a nail into her head to give birth to a son in Peshawar. She was injured and rushed to Lady Reading Hospital, and underwent emergency surgery to remove the nail from her skull.

    According to the statement given by the victim, the ‘Aamil’ instructed her to hammer a nail into her skull.

    The statement further revealed that her husband was pressurising her wife to give birth to a son. She has three children including two sons and a daughter. Her husband threatened to divorce her and remarry if she could not give birth to a son.

    When she found out that she was about to deliver a daughter again from an ultrasound, she decided to visit an aamil as the last option.

    The neurosurgeon, Dr Haider Suleman, who treated her revealed that she had a serious head injury and her pregnancy was making recovery more difficult. The woman left the hospital with her family after treatment and police are now searching for the couple.

    The police have found the couple’s names from hospital records. However, they could not get their National Identity Card (CNIC) details.

    The senior superintendent of police (SSP) said that the couple resides in Peshawar and police would trace them soon, adding, “an investigation team has been formed under SP city for the purpose.”

    The Capital City Police Peshawar (CCPO), Abbas Ahsan said, “legal action will be taken against her husband and the culprits involved.”

    He also directed victim support officers to visit the woman to counsel her and get details of the incident.

  • Woman gives birth unassisted on hospital floor in Haripur due to nurse neglect and doctor absence

    A woman has given birth to a baby without any assistance on the floor of one of the biggest government hospitals in Haripur in extremely freezing weather.

    On Tuesday, a man brought his pregnant wife to the hospital in the morning and she fell on the ground due to labour pain. The woman got no assistance from any medical staff during her labour until she delivered a child on the cold floor.

    Once her condition started to worsen, her husband and family members raised a big hue and cry which the medical personnel took her to the general ward.

    According to hospital sources that this incident happened due to the negligence of nurses who were on duty as they did not arrange a bed for her in the gynaecology ward despite its availability. No gynaecologist/obstetrician was present on duty at night in the hospital and the incident took place before 8 am.

    On the other side, relatives of the woman claimed that they did not receive treatment because they are poor. The nurses shifted the woman to the ward after the family raised major concerns.

    Meanwhile, her family members have demanded an inquiry into the incident.
