How about the twin baby? What can we do to have twin babies?
How can we increase this chance? Sometimes questions come from couples planning
pregnancy. Some couples want to have twin babies and look for methods to
increase this chance. There is no natural method to increase the chances of
having a twin or triplet pregnancy. It has nothing to do with any food or
drink. If only the mother's family has twin pregnancies, the chances of having
twin pregnancies are higher (Fraternal twin is familially affected). In
addition, the probability of having twin pregnancies increases with increasing
maternal age. In addition, those who are treated for infertility with IVF and
medication are slightly more likely to have twins and triplets.
