Identical twins occur once every 400 births, non-identical twins (fraternal twins) occur once every 70 births, triplets once every 7,500 births, and quadruplets once every 620,000 births.
Nicky Owen from England gave birth to identical twin boys. Seven years later in 2003, she gave birth to fraternal twins. She herself is an identical twin.
The incredible odds of this happening are so very slim: 11,200,000 to one!
From an article in The Daily Mail that I found through my library database. It wont let me link it... But it's true, it really is.
