Born to Nigerian-born American-citizen parents (Nkem and Lyke Chukwu), Ebuka, Chidi, Eche, Chima, Odera, Ikem, Jioke and Gorom were the first set of Octuplets recorded in American History in 1998. One baby was born at 15 weeks premmie while the next seven were born at 13 weeks premmie, and all weighed under 1kg each. Sadly Odera passed away one week after her birth.
Strange and surprising but these multiple birth stories are simply amazing!
I’m not sure I’d be able to handle it if it were me!
