How many babies can you be pregnant with at once?

Answer 1

The most common form of human multiple birth is twins (two babies), but cases of triplets (three), quadruplets (four), quintuplets (five), sextuplets (six), septuplets (seven), and octuplets (eight) have all been recorded with all siblings being born alive.

In 2009 octuplets were born in Los Angeles, CA.

There have been a few sets of nonuplets (nine) in which a few babies were born alive, and there have been pregnancies - but no known instances of live births - of decaplets(ten), undecaplets(eleven), duodecaplets(twelve), and quindecaplets(fifteen).

Most of these are a result of fertility drugs, though a set of duodecaplets was conceived spontaneously (without the aid of fertility treatments) in Argentina in 1992.

Answer 2

Cases of higher orders up to octuplets (eight babies) have all been recorded with all siblings being born alive.

The largest set in which all members survived more than a few days is septuplets (7), the first of which was in 1997.

There have been a few sets of nonuplets (nine) in which a few babies were born alive, though none lived longer than a few days.

There have been cases of human pregnancies that started out with ten, eleven, twelve or fifteen fetuses, but there are no known instances of live births of such high multiples in a single pregnancy. Most of these pregnancies are the result of fertility medications and assisted reproductive technology (ART), though a set of duodecaplets (twelve) was conceived spontaneously (without the aid of fertility treatments) in Argentina in 1992.

Presently we now know that the answer is at least eight. You might Google for additional records.
