Kenyan mother 'cursed' with six sets of twins

Most women would struggle to cope with six sets of twins but for Gladys Bulinya it is even more difficult - as many people in her part of Kenya think twins are cursed. Her relatives will have nothing to do with her, and her husband left her, fearing she was jinxed, after the sixth pair of twins arrived last year.



So the 35-year-old lives alone with 10 of her 12 children in a one-roomed grass-thatched house, a few miles from the shore of Lake Victoria.

Full story here.

My husband met a US woman with three sets of twins. Whenever she ovulates she releases an egg from each ovary instead of the ovaries taking turns as is normal.

I wish someone would be kind enough to explain that to this poor woman and her neighbors.
