Multiple pregnancies aren’t unusual any longer.
It’s no longer unusual to have twins or triplets. We recommend that you have a look at these brave mothers who have managed to start a large family all at once.
Quintuplets
The most famous, the first and only case of the birth of five identical twins is the Canadian Dionne family.
The girls were born in 1934 and for many years were an attraction of the province of Ontario.
The administration, which took full care of them, built them a house.
Girls were represented at various exhibitions and meetings, crowds of fans and just onlookers followed them.
According to the girls themselves, their fate was not enviable…

Sextuplets
The first fully surviving siblings were born on January 11, 1974, in South Africa.
