Number of Babies Term Used 1 Singleton 2 Twins 3 Triplets 4 Quadruplets (quads) 5 Quintuplets (quints) 6 Sextuplets 7 Septuplets 8 Octuplets 9 Nonuplets The prefixes for the numbers four through nine come from the Latin words for those numbers. "Single," "twin," and "triplet" come from Middle English.

Twin Statistics

According to the United States National Vital Statistics Report, there are approximately 33.4 sets of twins born for every 1,000 live births and 101.4 sets of triplets or more per 100,000 births. In other words, twins are a lot more common (they account for about 3% of all live births) than triplets or other so-called "super twins" (which account for about 0.1% of all live births).

Trends in High-Order Multiple Births

The rate of twin, triplet, and high-order births began to climb in the 1980s, especially among non-Hispanic white women age 25 and over, because of the use of fertility drugs and assisted reproduction techniques. While the rate of twin births increased by over 50%, the rate of triplet and higher-order multiples increased by over 400%. The rate peaked for triplets and higher multiples from 1998 to 2004 and has since been dropping, again in the same demographic group associated with the rise. This is due to a change in assisted reproduction treatments, especially the transfer of fewer embryos. The rates are still three times what they were in the early 1980s. Increasing rates of multiple births is a concern because the risks of mortality and long-term morbidity continue to be far higher for triplets and higher-order multiples than for singletons.

Multiple Birth Variations

Multiple births can occur naturally, surprising many parents-to-be, especially if they don't run in their family. They may also be a predicted possible outcome of efforts made to get pregnant.

Identical

Every month, a woman releases an egg from her ovary (ovulation), which can then be fertilized by a sperm to form an embryo and, eventually, a developing fetus. If one embryo happens to split into two or more embryos, identical twins (or more) may result. Due to the splitting of the embryo, identical twins share the same DNA. This is why they are always the same sex.

Fraternal

On the other hand, some women release more than one egg during ovulation; they "hyperovulate," so to speak. Experts are not quite sure why some women hyperovulate and others do not, but there is believed to be a genetic component to it. In addition, age plays a role, as women older than 35 are more likely to release more than one egg during each menstrual cycle. If a woman releases two or more eggs during ovulation, each may be fertilized by a different sperm, forming unique embryos. In this case, twins would be fraternal, not identical; they can be of different sexes or the same sex. Similarly, two (or more) embryos may be formed through assisted reproduction techniques and then transferred to the uterus. Interestingly, sometimes a combination of the above processes occur. For example, a woman could hyperovulate, releasing multiple eggs during the middle of her menstrual cycle. These eggs are each fertilized by a sperm, and then one or more of these embryo splits. In this instance, a woman could have multiple births (such as quadruplets) with two of the babies being fraternal twins and two being identical.

Do both twin flames get signs?

They both receive signs about the other person . A lot of it happens while they are together not yet separated and also during separation. That has been my experience. It can be first by synchronized events and a sense of knowing.

Myriam Bamba, MA Theology

YES THEY DO!!! They both receive signs about the other person . A lot of it happens while they are together not yet separated and also during separation. That has been my experience. It can be first by synchronized events and a sense of knowing. It can also be in a dream or even in their surroundings , weird synchronized events that only speaks to them two. We found ourselves part of this weird but undeniable Divine orchestration. The runner sees these things too and still runs from the reality shattering truth he finds in this person. But the runner can only run so long until he is overwhelmed with all the evidence and the unexplainable unconditional love he feels for his twin . Feelings he thought time would heal but to later find out that time itself has been waiting for them to meet.
