The most common form of human multiple birth is twins (two babies), but cases of higher orders up to octuplets (eight babies) have been recorded with all siblings being born alive. The largest set in which all members survived more than a few days is septuplets, the first of which was in 1997. The largest set to have even a single member survive is octuplets, in 1998 (with the seven surviving octuplets born in Texas).

When a woman is carrying two or more babies, it is called a multiple pregnancy. In the past two decades, the number of multiple births in the United States has jumped dramatically. Between 1980 and 2003, the number of twin births increased by 66 percent, and the number of higher-order multiples, triplets or more, increased four-fold.
