Multiple births and twin births are already
common occurrences nowadays and occur
to many mothers already. There are even
mothers who want to give birth to twins.
But since there are two sets of twin births;
the fraternal twins and identical twins, it is
a must to be aware of the similarities and
differences of these two sets in terms of
several factors.
Fraternal twins can be born through natural or artificial processes
because of the advancement of technology nowadays. This makes this set
of twins easier to give birth to or makes women’s chances of giving birth
to twins higher especially if they really want to give birth to twins.
Fraternal twins are sets of twin babies that were formed because of
double fertilization or the fertilization of two eggs by two sperms which
is why it is also called dizygotic twins. Since they are formed through
double fertilization, they usually do not look alike and they also do not
always come out with the same sex. In fact, most of the fraternal twins
are boy and girl combinations although there are already instances
wherein there are girl and girl and boy and boy pairs. But whether
parents would want to have fraternal twin sets or not, they almost
always have one common question and that is how these twins develop.
Twin pregnancy means being pregnant
with twins or two babies instead of one.
This is the result of either two fertilized
eggs or one fertilized egg splitting to
make two embryos. There are two types
of twin pregnancies and these are the
identical twin and fraternal twin
pregnancy. When a mother undergoes
this type of pregnancy, the signs and
symptoms are the same. It does not
mean that being pregnant with twins
mean different signs and symptoms.
However, the only way for you to find
out whether you have twins or not is
through ultrasound or pre-natal
checkups.
Getting to know the difference and similarities between
these two sets will help mothers better understand them
and know their chances as well as risks of giving birth to
twin babies.
