Parents who would like to have twins can help to significantly increase the likelihood of conceiving twins naturally.

 

Genetically speaking, it is more likely to conceive twins if there are already twins in the family. But this fact is beyond our control. What you can do yourself to increase the chances is the following:

 

Fertility: The chances of conceiving twins are definitely increased if intercourse takes place during the most fertile time in the woman's cycle. Although babies can be conceived during the rest of the cycle, as the sperm cells can remain in the body for a few days, the probability of conceiving twins is reduced if intercourse does not take place during the optimum time.

 

Folic acid: take folic acid supplements every day. Folic acid is important for any healthy pregnancy, but it also increases the likelihood of conceiving twins. Statistically speaking, one woman in 176 who has taken folic acid regularly conceives twins. It is best to start taking folic acid one month before the planned conception.

 

Cassava root: Cassava is a wild sweet potato from Africa. In regions where cassava is a staple food, there are the most twin births. Food scientists also agree that cassava influences ovulation.

 

Milk: Women who drink a lot of milk have a greater chance of conceiving twins. The properties of milk stimulate the production of several eggs.

 

Breastfeeding: Women who breastfeed a baby have a greater chance of conceiving twins during this time.

 

Weight: Slightly plump women have twins more often than slim women. However, you should not overdo it with the weight gain, because health is more important.
