Everybody loves twins, especially Women!... According to wikipedia, twins are two offspring
produced by the same pregnancy. Twins can be either monozygotic (“identical”), meaning that they develop from one zygote, which splits and forms two embryos, or dizygotic.
For a range of reasons, some couples wish to conceive twins.
PLEASE NOTE: Trying for twin babies should not rule your pregnancy - the most desired outcome should always be a healthy baby, regardless of anything else.
Before attempting to conceive multiples, keep in mind that there are higher risks involved,
including health risks from premature cord clamping and babies being born too soon due to
early induction. It’s a good idea to have a doula or suitable support person and a doctor you trust if you are pregnant with twins.

🍼Fraternal more common than identical
The majority of twins conceived are fraternal , that is the result of two separate eggs being
ovulated and released at the same time. The conception of identical twins is very rare, but it
happens when one egg splits. That usually happens early on in pregnancies, and either set
of twins makes the new parents undeniably happy. Two for the price of one, so to speak.
🍼What is % chance of twins?
About every 1 in 89 childbirths will result in twins, those chances aren’t that bad. But they can definitely be increased, if the couple is sure they absolutely want twins. Then there are fertility medications or you can even undergo in-vitro fertilization. Most of the times, these treatments definitely usually result in the conception of twin babies. But if you don’t necessarily want to take drugs or go that route, then there are natural things that the couple can do as well.
🍼Take folic acid
When you are thinking about becoming pregnant and are definitely sure that you want twins, then you should begin taking a folic acid supplement. It has been recorded by one
Australian study if you take folic acid while trying to conceive, you are 40% more likely to have twins. This particular method has worked for many women who want to conceive twins. And while trying to become pregnant you should always take a supplement or vitamin.
If you want to have twins, then you should eat more than usual and try to gain weight. It has
also been proven that women who are slightly overweight have a greater chance of bearing
twins. That study was in an 2005 edition of a very popular pregnancy magazine. Women who are taller also have a greater chance of being able to conceive twins. Though you aren’t able to change or increase your height, you can definitely change and increase your weight.
If you want to try IVF treatments or fertility drugs then you definitely can. You and your OBGYN can work out the best possible option for you. Or you could try the natural route and take more supplements and eat more dairy products.
