Quintuplets

Quintuplets is a pregnancy in which five fetuses are conceived and gestated; due to the limited capacity of human uteruses, it is rare feat to birth five healthy babies.

History[]

Addison delivered quintuplets (Lucy, Charlotte, Kate, Julie, and Emily Russell) in Much too Much. One of those babies (Emily) ultimately died. Quintuplets are often born small and premature, due to the womb's incapability to hold so many babies at once. As such, complications can arise quite easily.

Notes and Trivia[]

The list of baby births by number goes as such:
- Singleton (most common, a single birth)
- Twins (fraternal or identical)
- Triplets (identical, fraternal, or mixed)
- Quadruplets (identical, fraternal, or mixed)
- Quintuplets (identical, fraternal, or mixed, highest number where all were confirmed identical)
- Sextuplets (identical, fraternal, or mixed)
- Septuplets (identical, fraternal or mixed)
- Octuplets (identical, fraternal or mixed.)
- Nonuplets (Only three sets of nonuplets were ever born, only the last set, born in 2021, survived.)
As the quintuplets and above begin rising higher in numbers, identical births become less and less common.
