Twin Pregnancy: The question often arises as to how twins are born. Which women have more chances of having twins? What is the science behind twins? The phenomenon of giving birth to more than one child is called multiple pregnancy in medical term. This means that a woman is carrying two or more children in her womb. These can occur from the same egg or from different eggs. New research from Oxford shows that every year 1.6 million twins are born in the world. According to the Cleveland Clinic, one in every 250 pregnant women has a chance of having twins. In such a situation, let us know the complete science of the birth of twins…
How are twins born?
When twins or more are born from the same egg, they are called identical. This happens when an egg is fertilized by a sperm. The fertilized egg then splits into two or more parts, which is rare. Even the faces and nature of these children are similar. At the same time, children born from different eggs are called fraternal. This occurs when two or more eggs are fertilized by different sperm. In simple words, twins are born when two different eggs are fertilized in the womb or when one fertilized egg splits into two embryos.
