Pictured all together for the first time, this is the world record-breaking NINE miracle babies born to the same mother – as the healthy brood prepare to go home.
Halima Cisse beams proudly with her nonuplets, five months after she made headlines around the globe when she gave birth at the Ain Borja clinic in Casablanca, Morocco, breaking the previous world record set by ‘Octomum’ Nadya Suleman in 2009, who gave birth to eight babies that survived.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Ms Cisse, 26, said: ‘All of them are getting on very well, and are a joy to look after. They are getting stronger every day and it may well be they are allowed to leave full time medical care soon, so that we can take them home.’
Ms Cisse’s nine tots, who were conceived naturally, each weighed between 500gm to 1kg when they were born and had to remain in incubators in the clinic’s intensive care unit where they were looked after round the clock by a team of doctors and nurses for the first few months of their lives.
But now all nine have gained weight and continued to thrive meaning they can soon go back to their home country, Mali.
