In 2009, Nadya Suleman gave birth to six boys and two girls at a hospital in Bellflower, California. She was nicknamed “Octomom” after the deliveries.

According to The Associated Press, she held the Guinness World Record for most children delivered at a single birth to survive until 2021, when 25-year-old Halima Cisse gave birth to nine children in a hospital in Mali.

Suleman’s children were conceived by in vitro fertilization, according to Guinness.
