Twins run in my husband's family so im just curious how it actually happens. We are planning soon and the thought is exciting plus thoda scary. Anyone with twins here explain how?
It either happens when two separate eggs are fertilized by two sperm, or when a single fertilized egg splits into two. Factors like family genetics or IVF treatments make it much more likely.
Imagine having double the food cravings! It basically happens when your ovaries release two eggs at once, or when one egg decides to split. Twin moms are superwomen, honestly.
In my experience, we had no history of twins in the family, but we got blessed with them anyway. It was such a beautiful surprise during our first scan.
Medically, it is categorized as identical or fraternal, depending on egg fertilization and splitting. Your gynecologist can explain your specific scan results and give the best guidance.
