9 babies on the way?
However, doubts have been cast over the claims after a local doctor came forward and said she recently performed an ultra-sound on Perez but her uterus was empty.
The doctor said the health authority would now be investigating the claims and planned to find out if Perez really is pregnant, according to TMZ.
Perez, who already has triplets, was described as coming from the north-eastern state of Coahuila, which borders the U.S. state of Texas.

Perez, whose age was not given, said she had fertility treatment with her husband Bernardo leading to the multiple pregnancy, it said.
May 20: Possible birthdate of nonuplets
State-owned news agency Notimex also reported the pregnancy, saying Perez was due to give birth on May 20.
'It's very early to think of names for the babies,' Perez told Notimex. 'First I hope that everything goes well.'
The successful delivery of nonuplets would be one of the highest multiple births ever recorded.
World record would be set if nonuplets could survive
Karla Vanessa Perez's children are not the first nonuplets to be born, but if they all live they will be the first to survive.
A set was born on June 13, 1971 in Sydney, Australia, to Geraldine Brodrick. None of the five boys and four girls lived. Two were stillborn and the last to survive died six days after birth.
Nonuplets were also born on March 26, 1999, in Malaysia to Zurina Mat Saad. She had five boys and four girls (Adam, Nuh, Idris, Soleh, Hud, Aishah, Khadijah, Fatimah and Umi Kalsom) but none of them survived more than six hours.
