it runs in our family to have a multiple pregnancy. i have two aunts that are twins and nephews too that are identical twins. now, honestly i am really scared to conceive multiple babies. any information and open discussions in this area are welcome.

wow, you know if i would have to have a multiple pregnancy i will be so much glad. celebrities nowadays are having multiple pregnancies. if in case it happens to me, i would love to have a boy and a girl. :))

having multiple pregnancy might be a beautiful blessing. but isn't that leads you to some complications you might get?

phoebe - December 3rd, 2009 1:39 PM

well a multiple pregnancy is when a woman gets pregnant with having two or more babies in her uterus; babies come from similar egg or could also be from different eggs.

brandy - December 3rd, 2009 1:51 PM

those that comes from a similar egg are called identical, it is when one egg fertilized by one sperm. fertilized egg splits into 2 or more of embryos.

cool, and having or rather carrying identical twins means it could be all boys or all girls.

akiko - December 4th, 2009 6:04 AM

what about those that came from different eggs? what is it called?

brandy - December 4th, 2009 6:10 AM

it is called as fraternal and it happens when 2 or more eggs have been fertilized by different sperms. this one is hereditary. if you have fraternal status in your pregnancy you might have both boys and girls.

really magical hehehe... but what causes having multiple pregnancy?

violah - December 4th, 2009 6:31 AM

they said that if you are taking fertility drugs or you have an in vitro fertilization to help you get pregnant, chances are you will have a multiple pregnancy.

jackie - December 4th, 2009 6:41 AM

but there are some factors that can be a trigger point to have a multiple pregnancy like if you are in your early age of 30s or somewhat older.

dorothy - December 4th, 2009 6:57 AM

yeah that's right. a study showed a case also that when you are in an african descendants and having a history of fraternal babies before too.

big``GIRL - December 4th, 2009 7:10 AM

but most commonly if it runs in your family. anyone on the side of your mom's family that had a fraternal babies is a one big factor.

coffee&me - December 4th, 2009 8:09 AM

what about if you had stopped using birth control? they said this can also be a one good reason for multiple pregnancy cases.

heidi - December 4th, 2009 8:11 AM

but then again having a multiple pregnancy can have a lot of risks too. you might develop some problem in your blood pressure like pre-eclampsia.

gretchen - December 4th, 2009 8:14 AM

an addition to that ms. heidi is that you probably may develop a gestational diabetes while you are carrying your babies and might have an early delivery which is having premature babies.

xxladydreamxx - December 4th, 2009 8:24 AM

worst of all, having miscarriage pregnancy. the possibility of losing one of your babies that you are carrying. that could be so sad. :(
