A woman has given birth to eight babies in Southern California, the world's second live-born set of octuplets.
The unidentified mother gave birth on Monday to six boys and two girls weighing between 680 grams and 1.474 kilograms, doctors at Kaiser Permanante Bellflower Medical Centre said.
The hospital had scheduled a caesarean section for seven babies, but doctors were surprised by the eighth. Doctors said the babies were born nine weeks' premature but were in stable condition.
Two were placed on ventilators and a third has needed oxygen.
