Malegaon:
In what doctors claimed as a rarest of rare case, a
30-year-old woman in Malegaon has delivered identical triplets –
all boys, last Friday on November 16.
Born at Sushmit nursing home in the
city by normal vaginal delivery – again a rare case, the tiny trio
is doing wonderfully well, according to the physician and family
members.
Surprisingly, till the last moment the happy parents Syyeda
Perveen and Ziaurrehman (34) – an artist, playwright and one of
the key members of the local film industry, thought they were
having identical twin boys. It was only after the deliveries of
twins that they got to know that they had been blessed with triplets.

“We had three daughters and were
praying for a boy this time. But Allah, the Almighty has
blessed us with three. We are very happy”, said Ziaurrehman. |
“It was a full term normal delivery.
Initially the ultrasound tests showed that the couple would have
twins. But after the twins were delivered, we realised the
presence of one more”, Dr. Shashikant Wavad of Sushmit nursing
home said while talking to
ummid.com.
“We had three daughters and were
praying for a boy this time. But Allah, the Almighty has blessed
us with three. We are very happy”, said Ziaurrehman.
Born exactly a week before on November 16 last Friday, baby Hassan
(weighing 1760 grams) met the world first at 09:33 a.m. Brothers
Noman (1860 grams) and Zeeshan (2060 grams) followed few minutes
later at 09:37 a.m. and 09:47 a.m. respectively.
What surprised the doctor the most apart from the birth of the
identical triplets – all boys, is the full term normal delivery.
“Normally twins or more are
premature and delivered by Caesarean section, and need medical
assistance for weeks. But the newborns were in surprisingly good
health and did not need any respiratory support or incubator”, Dr
Wavad said.
He said that they were doing very well and breathing on their own,
and hence were discharged from the hospital just after four days
of their birth.
Doctors said that such triplets conceived naturally without the
aid of fertility drugs are also a statistical rarity. Some doctors
have said the chances of having identical triplets are as tiny as
one in a million. Dr. AbdulWakeel Faizee, a paediatrician who
works as a government medical officer and currently posted at
Nampur, based on published research papers, puts the number close
to 1 in 125,000.
Meanwhile, the local film fraternity is also rejoicing the birth
of triplets to the family of Zia Malegaonvi – the name Ziaurrehman
uses as script writer. And they have the reason for this.
“Few years back, we had celebrated
Nasir Shaikh becoming father of twins. Now Zia has been blessed
with triplets. It is a happy moment for Mollywood”, said Sajid
Ashraf, an artist.
Better known for his award winning film
Malegaon ka Superman, Nasir is one of the pillars of Mollywood -
the local film Industry.
