A South African woman has reportedly given birth to 10 babies in what would be a new world record.<\/b><\/p>\n

Gosiame Thamara Sithole’s husband says they were astonished by decuplets after scans only showed eight in the womb.<\/p>\n

“It’s seven boys and three girls. I am happy. I am emotional. I can’t talk much,”\u00a0her husband Teboho Tsotetsi told Pretoria News<\/a>\u00a0after the birth.<\/p>\n

One South African official confirmed the births to the BBC, however another said they were yet to see the babies.<\/p>\n

A family member, who did not want to be identified, told the BBC that Ms Sithole had had 10 babies – five via natural birth and 5 via caesarean section.<\/p>\n

Guinness World Records told the BBC it was investigating Ms Sithole’s case.<\/p>\n

A woman who had eight babies in the US in 2009 currently holds the Guinness World Record<\/a>\u00a0for the most children delivered at a single birth to survive.<\/p>\n

Last month, 25-year-old\u00a0Halima Ciss\u00e9 from Mali gave birth to nine babies<\/a>, who are reportedly doing well at a clinic in Morocco.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
