No, most pregnancies do not start out as twins. When the ovaries release two eggs and both are fertilized then will twins be born (fraternal/nonidentical twins). Or a fertilized egg may divide before implantation resulting in identical twins.
if you are 4 months along then the baby will still be born, it will just not be alive when it comes out. Although most pregnancies are twins when they first start out, usually one of the two babies die.
maybe. most pregnancies start out as twins very early on, but one dies right away. The stronger one lives. so I guess it depends how far along in the pregnancy your mother was. twins do run in families. are there other twins in your family? aunts, uncles, grandparents? that would make your chances of twins higher. Twins run on my aunts side i figured it wouldn't affect me.
Usually one, occasionally two although twin pregnancies generally abort before birth or one foal is dead at birth or dies shortly after birth. Often both twins die. Successful twins are rare. Most breeders use techniques to prevent twin pregnancies.
Yes, bunnies can have twins. It is common for rabbits to give birth to a litter of kits, ranging from one to several babies. Twins are not uncommon in rabbit pregnancies.
seconds to minutes if there are twins.
Fertanal twins, or fraternal twins, are more commonly born to women of African descent, with studies indicating that they have the highest rates of twinning. This is followed by women of European descent, while women of Asian descent tend to have the lowest rates of fraternal twins. Factors such as genetics, maternal age, and the number of previous pregnancies also influence the likelihood of having fraternal twins.
Twins typically share a gestation period of about 37 weeks, which is slightly shorter than the average 40 weeks for a singleton pregnancy. While most twins are born prematurely, a gestation period of 34 to 36 weeks is common for many twin pregnancies. Factors such as maternal health and the type of twins (identical or fraternal) can also influence the length of gestation.
Tripling hCG levels can indicate a healthy pregnancy, but it does not definitively mean twins. While higher hCG levels can be associated with multiple pregnancies, they can also occur in singleton pregnancies. An ultrasound is typically needed to confirm the presence of twins. Monitoring hCG levels is just one part of assessing pregnancy viability and potential multiples.
The gestation period for twins is the same as for singleton pregnancies, which is around 38-42 weeks. Twins are generally born earlier than singletons, with the average gestational age for twins being around 36-37 weeks.

I have had two pregnancies including a set of twins and had heartburn with neither. I have a friend who has got through a bottle of Gaviscon a week from 16 weeks with all four of her pregnancies. It depends.
A mother's odds of producing twins depend on several factors, including genetics, age, and ethnicity. Generally, the natural occurrence of twins is about 1 in 90 pregnancies. Women over 30 and those with a family history of twins, especially fraternal twins, have higher chances. Additionally, fertility treatments can significantly increase the likelihood of having twins.
