A member asked:
Online says "obesity increases twins" so can being 60 pounds overweight increase the chances of triplets or quads?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Not likely. Trips are so rare that being 60 pounds overweight is not going to make it significantly any more likely to have triplets or quads.
