Reasons for having Multiple Pregnancy
vMedications given to treat infertility tend to increase the hormone level and number of ovarian follicles, leading to multiple pregnancy.
vIn-Vitro fertilization is also a reason for multiple pregnancy if more than one embryo is transferred to the mother’s womb.
vOlder mothers (above 30 years of age), who were already pregnant, have higher probability of having multiple pregnancy in comparison with younger women (below 30 years of age) who have conceived for the first time.
vLarge and Tall women have more chances for multiple pregnancy, which is related to the intake of nutrition.
vStudies say that chances are more for African and American women to have multiple pregnancy.
