septuplets
Seven born together
Septuplets are seven offspring born from a single pregnancy.
The term applies to humans and animals alike, though human septuplets are extremely rare and typically result from fertility treatments.
A single child from such a birth is a septuplet: She was a septuplet, one of seven siblings born the same day.
