Many young couples all over the world, want to start a family after they’ve been married. And some may be wishing for twins. Perhaps you have put off marriage until a little later in life. Perhaps you’ve been married awhile and been busy travelling and working hard at your careers, putting your baby-making plans on hold. And so it might be nice to have ‘two for the price of one.’
It could be that you are a young couple dreaming of everything in pairs or just wishing for a set of babies.
So if you are one of those itching to have twins, hese are some simple but effective rules that can increase your chances.
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 happy.
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 tablets
When you are thinking about becoming pregnant and are definitely sure that you want twins, then you should begin taking 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.
Be slightly overweight or taller
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.
Eat more dairy products
You should also try eating more dairy products, such as butter, cheeses and yogurts. A study has shown that women who consume these products on a regular basis are usually five times more likely to have twins at birth. Drinking milk frequently usually helps women have twins too. So diet is very important when trying to pregnant.
