I. A multiple or complex pregnancy is a condition of a woman in which two or more fetuses develop in the cavity of her uterus and, depending on the number of postpartum pregnancies, it is called a pregnancy of twins, triplets, etc. the Largest number of fetuses that a woman can be pregnant is limited to five. More than five fruits have not yet been lost. Even Aristotle says that there is no pregnancy with more than five fetuses. Most often it is necessary to observe pregnancy with twins, pregnancy with triplets is observed much earlier. Cases in which the uterus contained only four and five fetuses belong to all extremely rare exceptions, especially five fetuses.
