Why are twins born? How to determine the probability of twin birth?

The subtleties of twins education. Features of the development of twins.

Twins are a double happiness and cares for parents. Many women just dream of giving birth to two children at one time, however, according to statistics, most of the twins are born in women after 35 years.

Why are twins born?

Modern medicine is almost all aware of the processes that occur in the body of a woman immediately after conception. The birth of twins is facilitated by such factors:

• Infertility treatment
• Increased content of FSH in the body of a woman
• Heredity is more than 35 years old

Now scientists share monozygotic and dizygotic twins. The difference in the amount of initial biomaterial for conception. In the treatment of infertility and in women older than 35 years, the amount of follicle-stimulating hormone is higher than normal, so instead of one egg, two or more grow. Each of them is impregnated with a separate spermatozoon. In this case, twins can be of different sexes and generally different.

And in the case of monozygotic pregnancy, one fertilized cell in the process of growth is divided into two. Completely this mechanism has not been studied. But identical twins are usually the same sex and their DNA is almost the same. Why at some point the cell is divided into two is still unclear. It is impossible to plan such a pregnancy.

How to determine the probability of twins birth?

The probability of the birth of twins from two ovules is 1.4%.That is, 14 women out of 1000 will become twin moms. Scientists have established that twins are three times more likely to have twins. These are the features of physiology and development. The probability of producing identical twins is only 0.3%.

Scientists have found out that a third of all twins are born from women who have been treated for a long time from infertility.

During IVF, too, there is a high risk of twins or triplets, but this is a completely controlled procedure. Eat in the uterus during IVF can be several embryos at once. How much the woman wants to leave, she chooses herself.

What is the difference between twins from twins?

In medicine as such, there is no such thing as twins. These are identical or multi-egg twins. In the people, to make it easier to navigate, children who are unlike each other and different-sex, were called twins. And completely identical children, born from one cell, are twins. Although in medicine they are twins, only born from one or more cells.

How do twins and twins get?

The mechanism of the birth of dizygotic twins is simple. Under the action of follicle-stimulating hormone in the body of a woman, not one dominant follicle grows, but several. Most often, one egg in each ovary ripens. Upon entering the uterus, the sperm fertilizes each ovule. Zygote can be fastened in different places of the uterus.

There is often a placenta previa, when one fruit is "unsuccessfully" attached at the very exit from the uterus. In the process of growth, one fruit presses on the other, increasing the risk of miscarriage or premature birth.

Why one fertilized cell is divided into two parts is unclear. But there are such variations of identical twins:

• Both embryos have their own placenta and fetal bag and develop independently of each other.
• Two embryos divide the fetal space for two. Often in such cases, fused children are born - Siamese twins
• One egg has a polar body that is also fertilized

What are the characteristics of twins development?

Twins are usually born with a smaller body weight than regular children. They later begin to hold the head, sit and walk. Often, one of the twins is born larger, and the second is smaller. A stronger child begins to speak earlier, he has developed fine motor skills and skills. But by the school years, the differences are erased.

• Many consider twins to be retarded, in fact it is not. With these children need to do more, because initially they are weaker. In school years, twins catch up with the physical development of their peers
• Social skills. Psychologically, twins are more developed than other children. This is due to the fact that even at an early age they perceive each other as one whole. They often argue, fight and tolerate
• Gemini before the other children learn to share, forgive and give in. When twins grow up, it's very easy for mom to be with them. They take care of her, often call and come. In high school, these children often help the parents of the household

How to bring up twins?

Many parents try to educate twins as one child. They feed them from one bottle, put them to bed in one crib. Of course, this allows the kids to get used to each other and feel themselves as one. Later this can significantly slow down the development of children.

• In 6 months, children are accustomed to each other, peering at the emotions and reacting to them. Mom at this time is simple enough, because children do not require attention to themselves, they are busy with each other. At the same time, this slows down the speech of the kids, because most of the time they hear not the normal words, but the walk
• Try to divide the duties between family members, and let each one in turn communicate with the kids. Try to purchase separate cribs, but feed, plant on a pot and sleep at the same time.
• Do not buy children the same toys. Everyone should be a person, not a single whole.
• Try not to buy the same things and purchases. Explain to the kids that this time you will buy something for one, and after a while the second child
• If the children are fighting for toys, do not rush the second kid to buy exactly the same. Explain that you need to share
• If possible, walk with the kids separately. You can give one child to the father, and with the second to go for a walk. Next time, change. This brings up individuality in children, and it helps you to better know the interests of each baby.
• It is necessary that the children had different friends and interests. Great, if they want to study in different classes and attend different mugs

Do I have to equip twins equally?

• When the kids are not yet a year old, even their mother can barely distinguish between them. To facilitate the task, you can buy the same things in different colors. You can put on kids different hats or booties. After a year, try to get the kids different things. They should not feel like an addition to the brother or sister
• Allow children to choose clothes on their own. It's good, if one will take a great interest in sports and wear sports suits, and another will prefer classical clothes
• . Once the children learn how to dress independently, put their things into different cabinets. Let them choose in the morning, in what they will go to the garden or to the school

How to care for twins?

Many questions arise around feeding and sleeping children. If you decide to feed the crumbs with breast milk, do it at the same time. Get a comfortable pillow and hold the kids with both hands.

• When children grow up, they can be put each on the chest face, provided that the mother's breast size is not more than the fourth. Do not feed children on demand. You need a clear timetable, otherwise you will quickly exhale
• You can buy children one cot, but share it with a partition that you can sometimes take off so that the kids communicate with each other.
• Try to put the children in the same time. Bathe, too, at the same time. If the babies are still very small, bathe one by one, the first should be more restless. Since when swimming a quiet baby he can roll up the hysterics
• When the children learn to sit, get them chairs for bathing and bathe together

At what time are twins born?

Usually birth begins prematurely. On average twins are born for 34-38 weeks. Few people take care of up to 39-40 weeks, and some doctors believe that it makes no sense for children to stay in their stomach for so long, because they simply do not have a place. Preterm labor is considered to be 32 weeks. Usually this happens with placenta or polyhydrama. If the cervix before the time opens, the pregnant can put the ring and put it on hold. Showing complete peace. It is forbidden even to get up for a walk.

In 70% of cases, twins are born with the help of surgery and only 30% are born naturally.

If the health of the mother is good and there is no need to do cesarean, usually labor is swift. And a woman gives birth to children 2-3 hours after the beginning of labor. Often children are born as a result of a planned cesarean section.
