Pregnant South African women set world record

(gg)
By Bate Felix


JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Over 1,000 pregnant women in
South Africa set a new world record Saturday for the
largest gathering of women due to give birth -- and
there were no early arrivals.

"We were a little bit concerned having all these
pregnant women under one roof, but we are happy that
none of them went into labor," said organizer Projeni
Pather.

"We had taken measures just in case and had medical
teams on stand by and nearby hospitals on alert," the
exhibition director for Your Baby Show in Johannesburg
said.

The event needed only 100 pregnant women to set the
record, but attracted 1,146 which was verified by
independent adjudicators to enter the Guinness Book of
World Records

"We are very relieved and happy to have set a world
record for the largest number of pregnant women under
one roof," Pather said.

Two thousand pregnant mums had pre-registered to take
part in the event, but some could not wake up early
enough and others might have gone into labor, she
added.

Some women were in the early stages of their pregnancy
while others were due to give birth in a few days.

"Being here with all these other mums makes you feel
special and I am happy to see all these big tummies
here," said Marie Dikeledi, whose second child is due
in a couple of weeks.

"I did not want to miss any of this even if I was due
in a couple of days," she said. With the success of
this first attempt, Pather said they will be
challenging other South African cities to beat the
record set in Johannesburg. Similar event are expected
in Durban and Cape Town in November.
