SextupletsWhen six babies are born from the same mother and pregnancy, they are called sextuplets.

Here are the names for other multiple births;

2 - twins

3 - triplets

4 - quadruplets

5 - quintuplets

6 - sextuplets

7 - septuplets

8 - octuplets

9 - nonuplets

10 - decuplets

Twins have three types. Identical Twins, Fraternal Twins, and Siamese or Conjoined. There are a few other subtypes depending on actual gene distribution.

Identical twins come from a single fertilized egg that divides into two individuals with identical genes.

An incomplete separation between the two would create conjoined or Siamese twins.

Fraternal twins come from multiple fertilized eggs.

Identical triplets and identical quadruplets have been documented. There was at least one documented set of identical quintuplets (Dionne quintuplets).

It is possible that other multiple births would have identical members.

The majority of the births of 4 or more babies are from fertilization treatment, or the implantation of multiple fertilized eggs.

Multiple birth pregnancies of more than 2 or 3 babies are very high risk pregnancies. The babies usually have low birth weights, and require long-term ICU treatment at birth. There is also an increased risk for developmental difficulties including cerebral palsy.
