Woman gives birth to 9 babies in a single-birth

In an unusual incident, a Malian woman gave birth to nine babies- two more than what doctors had predicted during scanning. The woman is a 25-year-old from Malaysia. The 25-year-old Halima Cisse gave birth to the nonuplets in Morocco as the Malaysian government flew her there for specialist care.

A woman who had eight babies at once in the United States of America in 2009 holds the Guinness World Record for the most babies delivered at a single birth to survive.

Two sets of nonuplets have earlier been recorded - one born to a woman in Australia in 1971 and another to a woman in Malaysia in 1999 - however, none of the toddlers survived more than a few days.

World record holder Nadya Suleman's eight babies have grown up and are now 12 years old. She conceived them by in vitro fertilisation.
