Mali Woman Gives Birth to Nonuplets - First Surviving Natural Nine Birth

A woman from Mali named Halima has given birth to nine babies-five girls and four boys-in a Moroccan hospital, where she traveled due to better medical facilities. Doctors initially expected only seven babies, but nine were born in a natural conception, making this the first time a nonuplet birth has survived naturally. The newborns are currently in incubators, but the Malian government reports they are doing well. Such multiple births are extraordinarily rare in humans. The article references a prior case of a woman who gave birth to 13 babies without a C-section, highlighting the increasing frequency of record-setting multiple births worldwide.
