I read somewhere that they normally have 7 and from each birth I've seen it has been 7 but normally 2 will die or the mother will kill 2....
As for how long they're pregnant...every story I've heard was a surprise!

Depends on the hamster. Dwarf are 14-23 days and have an average of 2-8 babies. The regular hamster is almost a good 2 wks and they can have 20+

I got my daughter a hamster for her birthday mid-November. Beginning of December, she had babies so it apparently doesn't take long. She's a dwarf hamster, and she had 5 babies.
