World Record: The Most Children Born in a Single Birth

According to Guinness World Records, the highest number of live births from a single pregnancy is 10 (decuplets), born to Halima Cissé in Morocco on May 4, 2021. Nine were girls, one boy. All were delivered by cesarean section at 30 weeks gestation; birth weights ranged 500–1,100 g. The mother and all infants survived.

Previous records: Nadya Suleman (octuplets, 2009, USA); McCaughey septuplets (1997, USA). Higher‑order multiples result from ovarian stimulation ± IVF and carry extreme prematurity risks.
