I knew a family about 20 years ago that had two sets of twins and then quads - all girls, 8 kids age 5 and under!


Actually the twins and quads were all girls. They had several singleton boys after that.

I feel so sorry for her. That poor woman. Imagine having 25 kids before you even hit 25 yourself...
If that hypnobirthing book I once read is right, women in africa who live close to nature and sit on the floor etc. and view childbirth as a normal part of life have it a lot easier in childbirth. Supposedly the laboring woman will continue business as usual until the baby is almost coming, at which point they support themselves with their backs to the wall, squat down, and push the baby out while catching it with their hands.

If I’d be able to poop a baby out like that I’d do it every year. (Nah, I still wouldn’t LOL).

I forgot, I have another question for all those who know quadruplets. Are most of the ones you know 3 of one gender and one of the other? The ones I know are mostly like that and I wonder if it is more common.


I know a set with 2 girls, 2 boys (triplett quadruplets).

How do you know the triplett quadruplets? I keep seeing their videos in my youtube feed. There is another family on youtube that had quintuplets (the Freels). The videos are super interesting.

Don`t know them personally. Watch their videos. Mom is a superwoman, she copes alone with 4 babies! I barely manage with one!

My sister in law is a triplet, then there's twins then triplets again, no singles.

When I was a child my aunts cousin gave birth to Quins (close to 50 years ago) the family weren't frum at the time, but because of their story they became frum, moved to Israel, and the father became head of the infertility clinic in Shaarei chesed.

And my last multiples Story my husband's cousin had 4 kids, then doubled her family overnight when she had quads then to top it all off when the quads were 9 months old she had a baby born 3 months early!!

This is so so interesting to me since I myself have a set of natural quadruplets. Since we had them I have gotten to know several other sets and heard about other sets from many people. It almost started feeling like this wasn't so rare. Also, when my set were born, it felt like the entire world heard about us. Seems people have their one or two sets that they know (or know of). Probably many are the same.


So cool, are you from milwaukee ?
