Multiple Births
Multiple births happen when two or more fetuses are developed during a pregnancy. Two fetuses, or twins, are common; but eight fetuses, or octuplets, are rare. Premature birth is most likely to happen to babies born from a multiple-birth.

When did Mary Slessor stopped the killing of twins?
Mary Slessor, a Scottish missionary, played a crucial role in stopping the killing of twins in the Efik region of Nigeria during the late 19th century. Her efforts began in the 1870s, and by the early 1900s, her advocacy and educational work led to significant changes in local attitudes and practices surrounding twin births. By 1905, she had effectively helped to end the tradition of infanticide associated with twins in the area. Slessor's commitment to the welfare of the local population and her tireless campaigns were pivotal in transforming community beliefs.
How many cases have there been for decaplets?
There has never been any surviving recorded case of decaplets (a multiple birth involving ten infants).
What did the Carlson Twins do?
The Carlson Twins, Kyle and Lane, are identical twin brothers who have a career as a male fashion model. Their career began when Lane Carlson was first discovered.
A ferturnial twin is a term used in the context of astronomy and astrophysics to describe two celestial bodies that are closely associated, often sharing similar physical characteristics or orbits. These bodies can include stars, planets, or other astronomical objects. The term is not widely used in scientific literature, and it may sometimes be confused with more established concepts like binary stars or exoplanets in close proximity.
Mirror image twins are identical and have mirror image differences but are genetically identical which means they have the same DNA.
A set of mirror-image twins will have similarities like a mole. One twin would have it on his left arm while the other would have it on his right. Another common feature is one twin being left handed, while the other is right handed. For male twins, the swirl of hair crown is often in the opposite direction.
Yes but it usually skips a generation. Paternal twins are not genetic however.
Willl a females water break twice if she is having twins?
I'm not entirely sure . . . but I'm learning about animal development now. Embryos are surrounded by a few extraembryonic membranes: the chorion (outermost), the amnion (holds the "water"), the allantois (part of umbilical cord) and the yolk sac (contains no yolk, but where blood cells form). Twins most commonly separate either before the chorion develops or after the chorion develops and before the amnion does (so the embryos each have their own amnion and "water"). If the latter is the case, it seems like it would be reasonable to assume that two amnions and thus two "waters" would have to break. But, again, I'm not 100 percent sure . . .
The term "hairy twin" typically refers to a rare medical condition called "hypertrichosis," where an individual has excessive hair growth on their body. In some cases, this condition can manifest in a way that resembles a twin or a separate entity due to the extent of the hair. It can occur in various forms and may be genetic or acquired. The condition can have social and psychological implications for those affected.

OMG!!!! I was sooooo suprised!!!!!
What kinds of twins are there?
Identical and Fraternal
There are identical and fraternal.
Fraternal twins happen when 2 different embryos start growing at the same time, so you get a brother and a sister or 2 sisters or 2 brothers that are the same age.
Identical twins happen when 1 embryo splits into 2 embryos when it is only a few cells big, so both babies have the same genes.

No, on those very rare cases where a twin is discovered entombed in their sibling's body the remains found are not in anyway alive.
