Very high-order multiple births In 1997, the McCaughey septuplets, born in Des Moines, Iowa, became the first septuplets known to survive infancy. Multiple births of as many as eight babies have been born alive, the first set on record goes to the Chukwu family in Texas in 1998, though one died shortly after birth. In 2009, a second set, the Suleman octuplets, were born in Bellflower, California. As of 2019, all of them were alive and turned 10 years old. In May 2021, the Cisse nonuplets were born in Morocco to Halima Cisse, a 25-year-old woman from Mali.
