However, babies were born with low birth weight, which is considered immature. In her first pregnancy, the woman gave birth to twins—a boy and a girl. Her second pregnancy resulted in the birth of a single girl. Now, in her third, she has given birth to quadruplets, according to The Indian Express report.
As per Dr Karpe, some families have a genetic predisposition for multiple births, but the delivery of quadruplets is still exceptionally rare.
