The MOST number of babies in ONE birth (and survived) in the WORLD is friggin’ 8! Too bad one of them passed away within a week of birth.
They even have a name for it – Octuplets!
So that means, the MOST NUMBER OF BABIES to EVER SURVIVE in ONE birth beyond 1 week is SEVEN. AMAZING.
7 are called Septuplets…
9 babies are called Nonutuplets!
The lowdown on Nonutuplets
In 1999 a Malaysian mother gave birth to nine living babies, officially the most babies in one birth.. Sadly, none of the 5 boys and 4 girls survived beyond 6 hours. An earlier nonutuplet pregnancy in Australia had resulted in two still borns. Six babies died shortly after birth. One baby, a boy, survived for 6 days.

World records
The world record for a natural pregnancy (without fertility treatment) is held by an Argentinean woman, who was pregnant with 12 babies. Unfortunately, the pregnancy was lost before any of the babies were viable.
The official record for the most babies in a pregnancy (although not the most babies in one birth) was set in 1971, when an Italian woman on fertility treatment conceived 15 babies. None of the 10 girls or 5 boys survived to birth.
Sorry but the image of a mother hamster milking 9, 10, 12, 15 babies just came up. GOSH! SO MANY HUMAN FOETUSES IN ONE HUMAN WOMB.
