Questions for twin parents. Who's having them? Who has them?

Question

Which things are harder or easier than you thought? Which books on twin parenting did you read that you would recommend? Has anyone been able to attachment parent twins? Thank you for your help.

Oh, has anyone noticed that a lot of people lately have been conceiving twins spontaneously?

Answer 1

I can't give you advice on twins, but I can answer your question as to why so many people (celebrities?) are conceiving twins spontaneously...

After roughly age 35, many women's bodies kind of start going a little haywire in preparation for menopause and they often release two eggs with each cycle. This is not due to fertility drugs, just a normal hormonal changes. So, the fact that there are more and more women having babies later in life (age 35 and up) lends itself directly to an increase in the incidence of fraternal twins.

Interesting, huh?
