How to prepare for pregnancy with twins

At present, eugenics is advocated. In order to give birth to smarter and healthier babies, generally both men and women need to do pre-pregnancy check-ups in advance and make preparations for the pregnancy, such as quitting smoking and drinking, taking folic acid orally, adjusting lifestyle habits, etc. Many friends hope to have twins so that the two children will have a companion since childhood. So, when is the right time to conceive twins? I believe this is something that many people want to know. Next, I will give you a detailed introduction.

Method 1: Have more children (according to your ability)

Have a history of pregnancy. Women who have had four or more pregnancies are at a particularly high risk of having twins. Of course, having children depends on personal wishes and family financial conditions. In addition, mainland China stipulates that a couple can only have two children.

Method 2: Diet helps you conceive twins

※Supplement vitamins: People with malnutrition have a lower chance of conceiving twins. When preparing for pregnancy, you can eat more foods rich in vitamins.

※Gain weight appropriately: Did you know that the chance of a thin person conceiving twins is much lower than that of a strong woman. Therefore, you cannot go on a diet. You need to supplement your nutrition, eat healthier meals, and gain weight appropriately.

※Eat more yam: it can increase the chance of conceiving twins. In Africa, there is a tribe that often eats wild yams. Women in this tribe are four times more likely to give birth to twins than the global average.

※Eat more dairy products: Women who eat more dairy products during pregnancy preparation are 5 times more likely to have twins than women who do not eat dairy products.

※Eat more sweet potatoes: Sweet potatoes contain a substance similar to estrogen, which helps with fertility. Studies have shown that Yoruba women in Nigeria eat a lot of sweet potatoes, and this tribe has the highest chance of giving birth to twins in the world. Therefore, if you want to get pregnant with twins, you can try it.

※Eat more geckos: Geckos contain high levels of male hormones. Gecko, especially its tail, contains high levels of androgen, which can stimulate and regulate the female gonad axis to a certain extent. But at the same time, it may also increase female ovulation. If a woman becomes pregnant while taking gecko, the fetus is prone to twins or multiple births.

Method 3: Find a partner with twin genes

Twins can also inherit the trait. The chance of a woman giving birth to fraternal twins is about 1/58, and is related to the genetic factors that cause fraternal twins. The chance of a male fraternal twin being born is about 1 in 100. Therefore, finding a partner with twin genes is also an option.

Nowadays people live at a fast pace, and working overtime and staying up late are common, which is very unfavorable for pregnancy, especially for twins. You need to prepare for the following

☑ Improve diet: The era of fast food at home must end. We need to supplement nutrition well, insist on drinking milk, eat more fruits and vegetables, and nuts and cereals should also appear on the table frequently.

☒Quit smoking and drinking: It is very important to quit smoking and drinking! Tobacco and alcohol can cause certain damage to reproductive cells. There are even examples showing that pregnant women have fetal malformations due to drinking and smoking. Expectant mothers who are pregnant with twins should be especially careful to prevent parasitic fetuses.

☑Start exercising: The body is the capital for pregnancy. Scientific exercise should be started 3-6 months before planning pregnancy. Some outdoor aerobic sports are most recommended. Such as running, walking, swimming, etc.

Pre-pregnancy check-up: You can consult your doctor about the relevant pre-pregnancy check-up items and time, or search for some pre-pregnancy check-ups online. In addition to physical examination, pre-pregnancy check-up items also include routine examinations such as blood routine, urine routine, liver function, blood lipids, fasting blood sugar, color ultrasound, chest X-ray, electrocardiogram, as well as specialized examinations such as a full set of fetal anomaly examinations, oral examination, gynecological endocrine examination, and chromosomal abnormality examination.

Stop taking birth control pills: When you start trying to get pregnant, please stop taking birth control pills. When women stop taking birth control pills in the first month, their ovaries sometimes release two eggs at a time, which is a great chance of conceiving twins.

Taking folic acid: A Swedish medical research institute pointed out that women who take folic acid have nearly twice the chance of conceiving twins than women who do not take it. Folic acid supplements may increase the frequency of ovulation, allowing multiple eggs to enter the uterus and thus produce twins.

In vitro fertilization: In vitro fertilization is a process of promoting the development of follicles in a woman's ovaries through ovulation induction technology, then removing the eggs for in vitro fertilization, and then transplanting the developed embryos into the uterus for gestation. This method is suitable for infertile couples, and is not recommended for couples with normal fertility.
