if a woman has twins...?

Question

and one is born at 11:59pm on December 31, and the other twin is born after 12am...are they still twins considering the fact that they're born on different days and months, let alone different years?

i'm bored and this is a serious question.

Answer 1

Being twins has nothing to do with being born within the same time frame. Twins in is a case of multiple birth in which the mother gives birth to two offspring from the same pregnancy.
Human twins are two individuals who have shared the uterus during a single pregnancy and are usually, but not necessarily, born in close succession. A fetus alone in the womb is called a singleton. Due to the limited size of the mother's womb, multiple pregnancies are much less likely to carry to full term than singleton births, with twin pregnancies usually lasting around 34 to 36 weeks. Since premature births can have health consequences for the babies, twin births are often handled with special precautions.
There are five variations of twinning that occur commonly in the world. The three most common variations are all fraternal: (1) boy-girl twins are the most common result, at about 40% of all twins born; (2) girl fraternal twins; (3) boy fraternal twins. The last two are identical: (4) girl identical twins and (5) (least common) boy identical twins.
Hope that answered your question!

Answer 2

Yes. Twins are considered twins because the came from the same utureus during the same birth, regardeless of time. It is multiple children coming from the smae mother at the same time to put it easily. This could happen quite frequently, seeing some twins are usually born with a span of minutes between them.

Answer 3

They are twins. With all twins' birth one always gets to the world before the other a woman cannot push both children out at the same time. So the one who gets out is usually the older one. That is the same case here its just that she gave birth at the end of one day and the begining of another but this is very interesting.

Answer 4

It all starts with the definition of twins. Twins are two individuals who have shared the uterus during a single pregnancy and are usually, but not necessarily, born in close succession. Therefore.. its a biGG Yes. They r still twins even - if they r separated by nine more months.

Answer 5

Yes they are still considered twins as they were in utero together... Being a twin doesn't start at the moment of birth in begins when either 2 eggs are fertilized (sometimes at different times up to weeks/months apart) or a fertilized egg divides...

While they have different birthdates they still spent the gestation together and are thus twins.

Answer 6

My Identical twin cousins are born that way, surprisingly, one at 11.57pm December 31, 1990, while the other was born 12.06 January 1st, 1991. Its not hard to see they are twins, and they still classify themselves as twins. However, they find it great, especially now that they're older, that they have separate birthdays.

Answer 7

The time has nothing at all to do with whether or not they are identical or fraternal. Identical twins can be born minutes apart ans on a different day as can fraternal twins. Identical are ALWAYS of the same sex and came from one egg and one sperm that split. Fraternal are from two different eggs and two different sperm.

Answer 8

Whatever may be, it is not serious at all. It depends upon you only. If you are one of that, you are still born as twins. You have birth date, which is unique, created by God and He Loves You.

Answer 9

They are still considered twins because they shared the womb.

Answer 10

born in different time doesn't mean that they are not twins as they born from the same place..........
