Multiple Births

Ok here are the chances of having twins or multiple babies,

1) You the mom are over 45

2)You live in Massachusetts

3)You take fertility drugs or undergo fertility treatments

4)You,your mother, or her mother is a fraternal twin. Skips generations

5)You already had fraternal twins

6)Your Nigerian

7)Your tall or over weight.

Here are the chances of not having twins or multiple babies,

1)You are Hispanic or Asian

2)You are under 25

3)You live in Hawaii

4)Your looking for identical multiple ( I am one for a fact)

~The chances of having triplets or more is 1 in 8100 and odds having quadruplets are 1 in 729,000

they should be able to tell right away but sometimes the twin is hidden behind the other one.They can tell right then and there if they give you an internal ultrasound but sometimes the regular ultrasound dont get all the way around the uterus so the twin could be hidden.

if you are a twin there is 100% chance that you get pregnant and have twins. even your cousins can have twins if they know that they come from the generation as yours

[added by another user] If you are female and you are a fraternal twin, you are at increased likelihood to conceive twins. If you are an identical twin or male, your chances of having twins are about the same as anyone elses, roughly 1:80 births.

It is possible but it is almost impossible to tell. However, the chances of having twins, if your parents had twins without the use of fertility drugs, is greater than if they only had single births. There are old "wives tales" or "myths" about twins, such as that they usually skip a generation. For instance, your mother had twins, so your children (or another one of your mothers daughters, children) will have twins. There is no scientific basis for this.

To see twins, it depends what kind of twins you are having. Faternal twins (Two (2)separate eggs that are both fertalized) can be seen on your first ultrasound, as early as 6 weeks or 4 week if your doctor orders a vaginal ultrasound. Identical twins (One (1) egg that has been fertalized by one sperm, but decides to make 2 babies) can be seen when the fetal pole is present which shows as early as 9 weeks. Hope this helps you and CONGRATULATIONS!!!

There are two types of twins. Fraternal twins are produced when two eggs are released and two separate sperm fertilize them. These twins are not identical, although they may still look alike because they are siblings.

Identical twins are produced when one egg is fertilized by one sperm. During the zygote stage, the egg splits into two. This creates two separate embryos and thus the children will be identical copies of each other. The same exact chromosome match.

It depends on the womens body some people get pregnant after the first cycle and some have to up the mg on the clomid. Just be patient and i promise that you will end up prego! good luck to you

No. Conjoined twins are always identical twins, and never just fraternal twins. Identical twins come from a single embryo that splits. In the case of conjoined twins, a complete split never occurs. So when they come from the same embryo, they are always the same gender.

They will think "why my father is always so tied?"

Its a multiple pregna cy

Identical twins are formed when an egg fertilised by a sperm splits in half to form two different embryos.

In y professical opinion as a doctor in the Orillia Soldiers Memorail hospital i believe that therev is no know or proven way to conceive twins. The best chance of twins is if it genetic or within your spouces or partners family, also taking any medication while pregent can form conpatuis babies

The DNA of identical twins and of clones is, apart from random, environmentally produced mutations, 100% identical. The only difference is that clones are produced on purpose through advanced bioengineering techniques while identical twins happen as an accident of nature. Identical twins are, in a sense, natural clones.

Yes. Twins can be delivered vaginally and some have even been delivered non medicated. C-sections are only required if the babies are breech or if there is a problem with the babies not being able to stand the stress of being delivered or any other reason that a singleton would be delivered by c-section.

Yes, it is generally true that older women are more likely to have twins or multiple births. This is partly due to hormonal changes that occur with age, which can lead to the release of more than one egg during ovulation. Additionally, women over 35 are more likely to use fertility treatments, which also increase the chances of multiple births. However, factors like genetics and family history also play a significant role.

Identical twins are identical because they both came from the same egg. The term "Identical" is used as they look very much like each other and anybody can say that they are twins by just looking at them.

There have been an increase because multiple births are related to women having babies later in life.

Are most Americans Rh positive or Rh Negative

Lots of times twins runs in families, so your answer is yes. There seems to be a higher rate of births of twins with twins.

but sometimes it can skip a generation!

so you never know but you will be lucky if you are a twin and have twins yourself!!!!!!!!!!XD:)

There could be something wrong, or it could just be bad luck...if I were you I would seek professional medical advice rather than searching the net cause you may hear things that are not true that will make you all paranoid and what not.

Yes. Any child can have down syndrome, as long as the parents pass the gene. Luckily, most people don't have it.

yes, they do or at least they used to.
