I quite often get asked how to conceive twins but other than IVF, conceiving twins naturally is usually just a fluke occurance amongst some women. . There are however some factors that increase the chance of having twins including age (women over 35 are more likely to conceive twins than younger women), if your mother or grandmother had fraternal (non identical) twins, or if you are black. Amongst black women, 16 out of 1000 births will result in twins as opposed to 8 in 1000 for caucasian women and 3 in 1000 for Asian women. . A well-known tribe in Africa called the Yorubas has the highest twinning rate in the world, one in 22. This increase is due to fraternal twinning, as their rate of identicals is the same as the rest of the world. Their diet consists of large amounts of a particular species of yam (Dioscorea rotundata). This yam contains a high level of a substance similar to the hormone estrogen, which is thought to bring on multiple ovulations. Do you have twins or know anyone who does? I do, they're nearly 13 🤾🏽‍♂️🤾🏽‍♂️ . . . . . . . . . #twins #love #facts #sisters #twinning #baby #family #fraternaltwins #pregnancy #babies #momlife #twinsofinstagram #midwife #twinsisters #twin #triplets #fertility #infertility #instagram #blackwomen #like #identicaltwins #babyboy #oldermums #babygirl #twinstagram #obstetrics #nigeria #birth #bhfyp
