This is the world record-breaking NINE miracle kids delivered to the same mother that were all captured together for the first time as the healthy brood prepared to go home.
The couple married in 2017 and have another daughter named Souda, two and a half years old, who is being cared for by relatives.Kader is a sailor in the Malian Navy.
She gave birth to the babies at the Ain Borja clinic in Casablanca, Morocco, breaking the previous world record set by ‘Octomum’ Nadya Suleman in 2009, who gave birth.
Each of Ms. Cisse’s nine naturally born children weighed between 500g and 1kg when they were born, and they were all kept in an incubator in the hospital’s intensive care unit for the first few months of their lives.
The new images show the boys – Oumar, Elhadji, Bah and Mohammed VI – in green romper suits with the word ‘Brother’ on them.The girls – Adama, Oumou, Hawa, Kadidia and Fatouma – meanwhile wear a combination of baby pink and blue.
The children are healthy and gain weight steadily, which means that the members will be able to go home soon.
They were taken off incubators in early August since when the family have been living together in flat close to the hospital so the medical staff can continue to monitor them.
The babies’ mother said: “When the babies were about to be born, there were so many questions in my mind. I was very conscious of what was going on and there seemed to be an endless stream of babies coming out of me. I.”
The babies were born in the following order: Kadidia, 2kg840, Mohammed VI, 3kg315, Fatouma, 3kg130, Oumar, 2kg400, Hawa, 1kg585, Adama, 2kg720, Bah, 2kg900, Oumou, 2kg795 and El Hadji, 1kg870.
Kader and Halima also feel they are very lucky, having received a lot of help from everyone. From the doctors, the whole team during the singing process, and the words of encouragement and congratulations from everyone.
“My wife is an only child while I have eight siblings. There is nothing in our family history to explain how this happened but the grace of Allah. These children are a gift from Him.”
