  Hi 877ngrj1723,
  
  Thank you for your question.
  No it is not possible. Giving birth to more than one child is called a multiple birth and this results from multiple pregnancy.Such births are often named according to the number of offspring, for example twins, triplets and quadruplets.
  According to the Guinness book of records, Nadya Suleman claimed headlines across the world in 2009 when she gave birth to six boys and two girls in California, USA.
  However more research reveals that more children have been born but they don’t survive their infancy.
  
  Thank You.
