yes but rarely, it can happen although it used to be more common with IVF babies, nowadays they tend to only put back in 2 fertilized eggs so it is a lot less heard of x x

Yes she is pregnant with quads, I'd think it would rarely, very rarely happen naturally if at all?

Natural occurance of triplets its estimated at about 1 in 8000 (I'm rounding) and quads is about 1 in 700,000, quints 1 in 55 million. So possible but unlikely Only surviving natural quints I've heard about was the Dionne quints back in the 1930s. They were identical - very rare. Here's a link to a family that had natural quads http://www.dixonquads.com . I think they started as quints but one was lost.

Yes it can happen where two eggs are fertilised then each split into two creating 4 babies.

The Dionne Quintz were born about an hour north of my house.....very cute.
Way back then....hard for mama to care for them all.
Anyone see that show "Jon and Kate plus 8"?
had twins then wanted one more..ended up with 6 and a tv show.
