Nadya Suleman from the US is the current official Guinness world-record holder for multiple births. In 2009, she was coined Octomom after giving birth to eight babies - six girls and two boys - all of which have thrived and grown up. They were conceived with IVF treatment and delivered nine weeks prematurely via caesarean (C-section).
Can you have a natural birth with more than two babies?
No. The birth of more than one baby carries more risks according to the NHS. Twins
can be delivered naturally (through the vagina) if they re in the right position and with extra monitoring and around 40 per cent of twins born in the UK are born naturally.
