Quadruplet, quintuplet, etc. redirect here. For the musical use of the terms, see
tuplet. A multiple birth occurs when more than one
fetus is carried to term in a single
pregnancy. Different names for multiple birth are utilized, depending on the number of offspring. Common multiples are two and three, known as
twins and triplets respectively. Twins, triplets and other multiple births occur to varying degrees in most animal species, although the term is most applicable to
placental species.
