"A 25-year-old Malian woman has given birth to nine babies - two more than doctors had detected during scans.
Halima Cisse gave birth to the nonuplets in Morocco. Mali's government flew her there for specialist care.
"I'm very happy," her husband told the BBC. "My wife and the babies [five girls and four boys] are doing well."
A woman who had eight babies in the US in 2009 holds the Guinness World Record for the most children delivered at a single birth to survive.
...Prof Youssef Alaoui, medical director of the Ain Borja clinic in Casablanca where Ms Cisse gave birth, told the AFP news agency that the case was "extremely rare, it's exceptional" - and a team of 10 doctors and 25 paramedics had assisted at the delivery of the premature babies.
They weighed between 500g and 1kg (1.1lb and 2.2lb) and would be kept in incubators "for two to three months", he said.
...
Ms Cisse's pregnancy became a subject of fascination in Mali - even when it was thought she was only carrying septuplets, Reuters news agency reports.

All these occurrences are the result of fertility drugs, right?
Not impressed. A little disgusted, in fact.
