More NEWS on 25 y.o Malian woman, Halima Cisse who gave birth to nonuplets (9 babies)!!!!

A 26-year-old Malian mother who gave birth to a record nine babies almost died from blood loss during the delivery, her doctors have revealed - as her proud husband Kader Arby said he 'can't wait to see my gifts from God'.

Halima Cissé was struggling under the six stone weight of the children and amniotic fluid and suffered a haemorrhage of her uterine artery during the caesarean section, which took place 30 weeks into her pregnancy. 

A radiologist scrambled to stem the flow of blood as 18 nurses put the nonuplets into incubators. 

They are still on ventilators and will need another 12 more weeks in specialist care before they can breathe independently. When doctors said in March that his wife needed specialist care, Malian President Ndaw ordered that she be sent to Morocco. 

'The facilities and medical expertise there are excellent,' he said. 

Mr Arby is a career soldier, serving as adjutant in the Malian Army, an administrative rank which is roughly equivalent to captain, but has been given plenty of time off to deal with his expanding family.

Mr Arby said he had been in the Army for 15 years, mainly deployed in North Mali and that his wife is training to be a Human Resources administration at the technical college in Timbuktu.
