What are chances of having multiple births?

Question

I am 4 months pregnant and this will be my first baby and would like to know what the chances are of having multiple births.

The only relative that I have that are twins is my mom's sister and her brother, they are twins, my mom is the only one that is not a twin in that generation.

Answer 1

I have twins!!

If Fraternal twins fun in your family (it comes from the woman's family, not the mans) then you are genetical more capable of having twins.

The older you are the more likely.
Just coming off of birth control, the more likely you are.
Getting pregnant while breastfeeding, the more likely.

Having twins or more already... 6 times more likely to have another set.

Answer 2

What do you mean? Like have more than one baby? You'd have to get pregnant again, and thats not hard at all. Most women do have multiple births, cause only children arent that common.

If you mean if you're carrying multiples, thats depends on genetics, chance, and other factors such as fertility medication. You should have your quad screening/ ultra sound coming up and they will be able to look for a twin, but generally they can tell before then by listening to the fetal heart beat.

Answer 3

unless there are multiples in your family, probably slim. I wanted twins too, but never got them. Unless you were on some kind of get pregnant pill.

Answer 4

More and more common over the past two decades, largely because more women are taking fertility drugs and turning to treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) to help them conceive.

Answer 5

depends on if multiples run in your family or the father's side...do some checking with family members...

Answer 6

Oh, 100%.

You have been born and reborn many, many times, and the same goes for your children.
