Multiple Births

Your chances of having twins are about 1 in 80. Even so, more twins are being born these days than ever before. It seems that older mothers especially those over 35, are more likely to have twins. In recent decades the number of women who postpone childbearing until that age definitely has gone up. In addition, increased use of fertility drugs has contributed to the higher incidence of twins and other multiple births.
