A woman gave birth to nine children at once—a true miracle! See what the little ones look like today.
This woman set a unique record: she gave birth to nine babies in a single pregnancy—five girls and four boys.
The babies were born prematurely, each weighing around 500 grams.
But thanks to the professional work of the medical team, all the babies survived. Today, they are four years old.
Below, you can see photos of the children and what they look like now.

When Halima discovered she was pregnant, she couldn’t believe it. For one thing, she had struggled to conceive for a long time, and initially, doctors told her she was expecting triplets.
A subsequent ultrasound revealed five babies.
Imagine the surprise when it turned out she was actually expecting nine children! Both the doctors and Halima herself were overwhelmed.
Labor began at 30 weeks of pregnancy. The newborns weighed between 500 and 1,000 grams; they were small enough to fit in the palm of a hand.
After birth, all the babies were transferred to the intensive care unit. Experienced doctors and nurses monitored each child’s condition around the clock.
The babies were fed every two to three hours, and their health and development were closely monitored. Each day, the little ones required about 100 diapers and six liters of special formula.
Due to slow weight gain, they spent the first few weeks of their lives in incubators. Despite an uncertain prognosis, all the babies survived.
Today, these children are no different from their peers: they are strong, healthy, and full of life.
The Cissé family became widely known because, until then, no one had given birth to so many children at once who all survived and remained healthy. It is a remarkable achievement, both for Halima and for the doctors who saved the babies. The children celebrated their fourth birthday with a big party at a hotel in Bamako.
The guests eagerly awaited the arrival of the birthday children. When the boys and girls entered the room in their festive outfits, many had tears in their eyes.
