Ghanaian couple resident in the UK welcomes third consecutive set of twins (photos)

Abigail and her husband Shaibu Abu-Adama have
welcomed their fifth and sixth children, after she
gave birth to her third consecutive set of twins. The
couple, both 30, already had four children and was
surprised when they found out they are expecting
another pair of twins.

"We thought we were done with two sets, and then
all of a sudden I realised I was pregnant again; it was
a big shock and I cried because I was not expecting
it." Abigail, who gave birth at Bradford Royal
Infirmary told The Telegraph.

"The doctors cannot believe our run of twins, they
ask if we have had any fertility treatment but we
have had none at all. I think three sets of twins is
enough for now; my husband wants to go for names
that have something to do with giving thanks, but we
have not made any decisions yet."

Their other sets of twins are Ohene and Ohenewa,
four, and Okese and Nana-Oye, one and a half.
"The other kids are so happy to have two new baby
sisters and could not wait to see them for the first
time." She added.

Mrs Adama said that all the nurses and midwives at
the Women's and Newborn Unit at BRI were
shocked
to find out it was her third set of twins.


"They all wanted to come and see me and the babies,
and said I should be in the Guinness Book of
Records," she said.

Mr Abu-Adama, who works as a customer service
advisor in Leeds, said that the whole family was
feeling blessed, and while at first it came as a shock
they are all now very happy and full of joy.

"The doctors cannot believe our run of twins, they
ask if we have had any fertility treatment but we
have had none at all. The other children have been
telling their friends at Fearnville School about their
new sisters and said they look gorgeous."

The couple moved to the UK from Ghana in 2010,
then moved from Slough to Bradford in 2013. She
said that she probably won't want any more children
following this pregnancy, and that she and her
husband are still trying to think of names for their
newborns.

"I think three sets of twins is enough for now; my
husband wants to go for names that have something
to do with giving thanks, but we have not made any
decisions yet."
