For a woman to conceive eight babies naturally, she would need to release maybe four or five eggs (extremely unlikely), and all or most of the eggs, once fertilised, would have to go on to split to form twins or triplets (again, this would be mind-bogglingly rare).

While a 92-year-old woman delivering a 60-year-old baby may sound like a bizarre plot twist from the movie “Benjamin Button,” it's true. Huang Yijun, 92, of southern China, recently delivered a child which she'd been carrying for well over half a century. The baby wasn't alive, however.
