what is the risk of having twin baby?

Well. I am a twin, So I'd say ... depending on your age factor, there is no more risks other then the normal. Unless one of the babys is breach. They would do a C section.

There is a forum on the below link for twin or triplet expecting parents. It also suggest good names as well as pregnancy and health issues :\n\nhttp://bbs.babycenter.com/board/pregnancy/carryingtwins/2198?_requestid=7560\n\nCongratulations!

I would say the odds are low, but not zero. I have twin brothers, and they have the same hair color, but they aren't identical in everything. Throughout the years (they will be 21) they have changed. They still look like each other, but one is taller then the other, and/or one is skinnier then the other. They are still identical, but factors in their life have molded them to what they are today.\n\nHair color is tricky. And usually the hair color you are born with isn't what you end up with. Hormones are to thank, and that would be the only reason why the hair would be different...a slight characteristic flaw in the hormones.\n\nThey SAY twins are twins, but coming from personal experience...no one can be EXACTLY the same. We are all unique, even if someone looks like us.

At the most, you could have 367 people each with a different date of birt, not counting the year. One for each day of the year...365...and leap year...366... and then the duplicate...367.  On the other hand there are ooodles of babies born every day.  If you are asking haw many would have duplicate birthdays in any given group, the chances are pretty high, Take a highschool for example...all those students, several duplicates, Of course in small settings it can be high as well.  I come from a family of 9 sisters and myself.  2 are twins born 10-7  a few years later, my baby sister was born 10-7...3 on one day!  At the same time, my mother was born 4-15...so was another sister.  Events also play a significant role...in June following 9-11 a large number of births took place...There is no exact answer.

Identical twins come from a single egg which split in two. Fraternal twins come when there were two eggs.

The children will not be "twins" (they will likely not look the same, though they may look similar in the way siblings do). This is because during meiosis, the genes in each haploid are random, from both parents.\n\nFor example, if both twin brothers had a dominant gene for black eyes and a recessive gene for green eyes, one twin might pass on a black eye gene to his child, while the other might pass on a green eye gene.

I have grave concerns over the validity of a study that suggest what you are saying is true.  While there is some fact to the issue that having sex during pregnancy does help keep the uterous in shape for the birthing process and the movement stimulates the fetus, I doubt very seriously any study that suggests a pregnant female should have multiple partners to insure a healthy child.\n\nThere is NO direct coorrelation between what the multiple partners could 'leave behind' that would have any greater affect on the what a single father of the child would 'leave behind'.\n\nI suggest you re-read this so called study and verify the facts.  I think you've been conned.\n\nGood luck!

you might want to try fertility medication, but be careful, you may get multiples.

Twin to twin transfusion is not to be confused with two babies sharing a placenta.  Identical twins share a placenta, and there are no health risks to mother or babies.\n\nTwin to twin transfusion is where instead of both twins sharing a placenta, one twin gets all the nutrients from the other twin.  It's a very serious condition, and if detected early enough in the pregnancy, women are often informed about abortion.  If it's not detected early enough, or if the mother doesn't wish to have an abortion, then the twin that gets the nutrition from the placenta may have a chance of survival.  The one who gets all the nutrition from its twin is likely malformed and underdeveloped, and is incredibly unlikely to survive at all.

Um, if that doesn't happen you cannot have a child. But otherwise, it wouldn't necessarily effect the health of a woman. Some people are infertile, but it isn't harmful to their physical health.

Well, unless the couples you know got pregnant thanks to the help of fertility drugs, I'd say it's just a coincidence. Twins run in some families. I'm assuming you're wondering whether twins is an increasing trend, and not literally what causes twins (either two eggs getting fertilized at the same time, or one fertilized egg splits into two). Also, when a woman gets into her later 30s, twins are more common. The chances of having twins also goes up if you've had children before.\n\nSounds like your friends are going to have enough kids to form their own football league! :)

Fertility treatments that promote ovulation may lead to multiple births.

I (a man) have one full sibling (a brother) and my wife has a sister. We had a boy for our first kid in November. So, it happens. Good luck.

depends on if you have had kids before, but they say you can feel a singleton pregnancy at about 16 weeks, so i would say around the same time for twins, give or take a week.

it depends on how far in you are.  My wife had 2, the second one was a like a week further on, she said she was really sore from that one.  About the infant I can't tell you.  But it could really hurt you.  My wife holds serious regrets over what she did.  There's always adoption.  But besides that, she's got scarring on the inside preventing her from getting pregnant again.  It's something you really have to think about, if not now then 20 years down the road.
