Recently, on various women's forums, a dream-wish is often expressed: "How I would like to give birth to twins!" Let's try to figure out whether it is possible to influence the course of Nature and what can be done to conceive twins. The birth of twins is not such a rare phenomenon, according to statistics: out of a hundred women in labor, one gives birth to twins. What contributes to the conception of twins?
Instructions
Step 1
At different times, the attitude towards multiple pregnancies was different. So, according to folk signs, in ancient times the birth of twins was considered a misfortune for the family. This attitude towards twins can be traced among various tribes in Africa and America. Apparently, this was due to difficult living conditions. "Do not sweep with two brooms - there will be twins!" - warned the young woman of a friend, - "Do not eat an egg with two yolks - twins will be born!"
The Slavs, Greeks, Egyptians, Europeans had exactly the opposite attitude: it was believed that the birth of twins brings happiness, luck and prosperity to the family. So that the next time twins were born, the husband and wife were advised to rock the cradle with the baby together.
Step 2
Today, the most guaranteed way to conceive twins is in vitro fertilization (IVF). Taking birth control and ovulation-stimulating drugs also increases the chance of conceiving twins.
Step 3
Of the folk remedies that stimulate the maturation of the egg, one can name sage, upland uterus, rosemary, plantain seeds and others. There is also a special diet aimed at increasing fertility. The menu with such a diet includes a large amount of walnuts, honey, whole grains (wheat, oats, etc.), legumes (lentils and soybeans are especially rich in phytoestrogens), flax seeds (they can be ground in a coffee grinder and added to salads, for example, from apples and carrots, which also contain some phytoestrogens). A predominance of protein foods is desirable in a woman's diet during pregnancy planning. Various diets and weight loss techniques should be avoided, as the birth of twins is more likely in women who are slightly overweight.
Step 4
The chance of getting pregnant with twins increases with the age of the woman and with each subsequent pregnancy.
The likelihood of becoming a mother of twins is greater for those women in whose family there were already twins. We are talking about fraternal twins, since the birth of identical twins is not a genetically determined phenomenon.
