Triplets

Okay, so, I got an idea for triplets being possible!

Soooo, people and animals usually can die of bleeding out during birth or other complications, right? So what if a female in like the last 5 days of her life with 6/6 fertility had a chance to give birth to triplets, but she would die afterwards! I know it could suck for various reasons, but not every birth can be clean cut and have the mother live. I think instead of the mother still being there, the third baby would be in her spot. I don't know, I think a possibility of triplets would be sooo cool! 

Edit: So here's another thing: If the female has been bred 3 or more times before the last 5 days, she should have a chance to live. The higher amount of previous children she has, the more she should be able to survive. I say this because it was proven after a few kids women have easier time giving birth and not having complications. (At least in the old days.)

As a side note, heres an addon idea; Any sickly female from any breeding age with 6/6 fertility has the chance to give birth to triplets, because of her weak immunitites she is more susceptible to having birth complications.

I'm not sure about the dying part. After all, a lot of mammals have 3 or more children in a single litter often without dying. For example: cats, dogs, foxes and basically all rodents.

But, I like the idea of triplets. 

So if the parents had 6 and 6 fertility, there would be about a 10% chance for three children. If they had 5 and 6 there would be a 5% chance. If they had 5 and 5 or 6 and 4 there would be a 1% chance.

I think the idea is that Nichelings usually have one to two children, so more children than normal is dangerous. Like, horses usually have one baby and I think when they have twins its pretty dangerous for all three.
