A South African woman has reportedly given birth to 10 babies in what would be a new world record.
Gosiame Sithole's husband says they were astonished by decuplets after scans only showed eight in the womb.
Ms Sithole gave birth to seven boys and three girls.
One South African official confirmed the births to the BBC, however another said they were yet to see the babies.
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 five via caesarean section.
Guinness World Records told the BBC it was investigating Ms Sithole's case.
A woman who had eight babies in the US in 2009 currently holds the Guinness World Record for the most children delivered at a single birth to survive.
Last month, a 25-year-old woman from Mali gave birth to nine babies.
