Some women carry a gene that makes them prone to hyper ovulate while others have twins by chance. So, some women naturally release more than one egg at a time that happen to get fertilized and some women have an egg get fertilized that happens to split. There are also women who undergo fertility treatments and have multiples and that increases her chances for twins too. If twins run in the family on the women’s side, or she has already had a set of twins, her chances are increased of having twins too.

Anybody who can get pregnant could have twins, but it is never likely for anyone, regardless of family history.

Overall odds of any twins, identical or fraternal, are about 1 in 80. It does not skip a generation, as some have suggested. That is an old wives tale. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t, and sometimes it skips several. You never know when twins will occur.

When fraternal twins run in families, it comes from the female line because it has to do with a woman releasing more than one egg in a cycle. It can pass from a mother to a daughter and so on, but it’s no guarantee of twins. Your father’s side has nothing to do with it. Fraternal twins can also happen randomly.

There is no evidence to support that identical twins run in families. It is too random. The stat is about 1 in 325 live births. Scientists have not been able to isolate the moment of the split of the egg, so it is unknown why it happens. They do sometimes run in individuals, meaning that a woman who has had twins is more likely to produce them again than if she had a singleton pregnancy. This is also true of fraternal twins.

Someone told me I need to download something for both of them?
I only have Sims 2 seasons/holiday, could someone send me the link or whatever I need in order to get teenage sims pregnant?

Also, how do I get Adult Sims to have twins?
And not the twinzrcute or whatever,because that code is just bullshit, lol.

forcetwins I think is the code for sim 2 adults to have twins.

As to making teen sims pregnant you should check modthesims.com for a mod that lets that happen.

im 14 weeks pregnant went for my scan and was told that one of my baby’s has edema around it and that could indicate there is something wrong. im going to see a specialist on monday but there are only 3 options terminate the hole pregnancy or to keep it going or serlective termination where i keep one but they all hold risks has anyone gone through anything like this or has any advice what i should do

Oh Honey I am SO SO Sorry to hear this. I agree with the first person though.. BUT If I were you I would cancel this question right now and wait to talk tothe specialist. No telling what some people will find on the internet to tell you. I am NOT trying to be rude.. I am trying to spare you any more worry. The doctor will be able to better explain all the options to you.. and It MIGHT not be as bad as they think.. so I would just wait to see the dr.

I wish you the best honey, and I will be praying for you.

This is serious, I’m a 28yr old guy with a really good job, settle life and my friend is having twins, she was going to get an abortion but I convince her to have them and that I would take care of the babies! She decided to have them and now I really want them! Can I sigb the birth certificate as their Father? Can I be the only one to sign the birth certificate, I don’t want her to sign it because I’m afraid she would later on try to get them back! Can I sign as the father and take care of them? I’m trying to avoid the adoption paperwork, time waste and money!

you can my mum told half custody for my babies cousin {unstable mother}and the social services did ask if we want full custody but m,y didn’t think that was fair…..anyway the mother could put them up as a open adoption that mean she choose the person and will still get to see the you and your fried should take this up with social services

I am 7 weeks along and just went in to the midwife. She felt my uterus and said I was much farther along than I said but I was really sure of the last period. She did an ultra sound and said yes baby is 7 weeks ( only one in there) but uterus is measuring 10 weeks or so and she couldn’t find any fibroids or anything to explain it. Does your uterus get bigger this early with twins.

u could just be carry alot more fluid that usual and thats wats making u look bigger dnt wori theres noting to wori abt… if there was twin the midwife would have seen it in the scan

Why do nurture people believe that identical twins have different DNAs? I’ve met people who believe that identical twins are socialized into looking the same and their dnas are different. Why can’t people open their eyes and see that genetics actually exist and that identical twins have identical dna.

dna isn’t only appearance. It’s also personality and other things. Don’t run off assuming it’s only the looks. And how easy would it be to tell twins apart if they had different hair? The only similarities are height, and appearance.

My mother was pregnant with twins but miscarried one really early in the pregnancy. Her mother had twins, my auntie and uncle. What are the chances of me having twins? I have had 2 children already. Any tips on how to conceive twins or does nothing help conceive twins?

nothing helps concieve twins you either have them or you dont, you either release 2 eggs and have them both fertilised (which happens some months) or you have 1 egg that splits into 2

I want to have either twins or triplets on the Sims 3 for Xbox 360. Can i improve the chances of having them?

i havent played it for the 360 yet but i know that for the pc version once you earn enough life time points you can buy a thing called fertility treatment and when you buy that it will increase the chance of you haveing twins or triplets

I have two children and would like to have 2 or 3 more but I would like to just go through one more pregnancy if possible.. So is there any way to have twins purposely without going through invitro? Are there any drugs to take by mouth besides clomid or how ever you spell it :). Because I heard that only 5-8% of women on clomid or chlomid have twins or multiples so… Anyways do you know of anything?

i have heard of things to help, but nothing guranteed. clomid is the "easiest" way to try to have multiples, but is risky when not given by a doctor. i saw on discovery health that countries that eat yams have higher rates of twims. the plant estrogen acts like human estrogen and eating the skins of yams has the most concentrated amounts. there is something called soy isoflavones (spelling?) you can get at walmart and you take it like clomid and it is rumored to cause twins. the last way i have heard of is a product called "FertilAid" and is avaliable online or at GNC (but its got a different name there). i used it for 3 months and got pregnant on the third, we are only expecting one though. but it does the same thing as all the other "methods" and raises your estrogen at just the right time. so although there is no sure fire way of twins there are ways to try.
