Are you itching to
get pregnant with twins? Find out how to get pregnant with twins with these
simple rules.
Many young couples all over
the world, want to inevitably 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.’ Or perhaps you are a young
couple dreaming of everything in pairs or just wishing for the novelty of a
matching set of babies. There are many ways that you can increase your chances
of having twins.Fraternal more common than identicalThe majority of twins
conceived are fra 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.
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.
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
You should also try eating more dairy products, such as 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 that is treated with the rBST growth hormone treated cows is what usually helps women have twins. So diet is very important when trying to pregnant.
Try IVF or fertility drugs
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.
Whether
you get pregnant with one or two, pregnancy and birth is a blessing. So enjoy
the fruits of your labor!
