On the news today was the news of a Russian woman who has just given birth to quintuplets. It will be a few months and many hurdles to cross before the parents are able to take their family back home to Russia. Today at clinic I saw a Mother with two year old identical twin girls. I was surprised to hear that these twins had two older siblings, another set of identical twin girls. My Mother's comments would be 'oh poor woman', she will still say how hard it was bringing up twins in their first couple of years!
