How to have twins

The idea of having twins tends to polarise people.

Chances of having twins

Many couples are keen to increase their chances of having twins and want to know what they can do to sway the odds in their favour.

Identical twins

The odds of having twins are far greater than for any other type of multiple births.

Fraternal twins

Fraternal twins are just like any other brothers and sisters in the same family who share the same biological parents.

Triplets

Identical triplets

Although it may seem to be almost impossible, conceiving with identical triplets, whilst quite rare, is actually possible.

Fraternal triplets

There has always been a fascination with multiple births, and triplets are just a magnet for those individuals with enquiring minds.

Quadruplets

Quadruplets

Multiple births always attract attention and there is generally a great deal of fascination about the concept of more than one baby being born at the same time.
