Nountwins Category: English pluralsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A twin is generally defined as one of two offspring produced in the same pregnancy and/or born at the same birth process, although people with unusually high genetical similarity also may be called twins although they may not be born at the same time (possibly by Caesarean section or surrogacy), such as with monozygotic (MZ, colloquially "identical") twins. Offspring that are not genetically identical but are born at the same time are called dizygotic (DZ, colloquially "fraternal" or "non-identical") twins. In contrast, the general term for more than one offspring in the same pregnancy (multiple birth) is multiples; a fetus which develops alone in the womb is called a singleton. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I have heard lots of stories about twins being able to feel each others pain. For instance, if one twin cuts their hand the other will feel it too. I was just wondering if there was any scientific reason for this or if it is just a really weird coincidence. Any answers given will be appreciated!

Q. My twin boys are sharing a placenta, and I was wondering if this would rule out having a vaginal birth. I know normally the chances of having a vaginal birth for twins is 50%. The placenta is at the top of my uterus, so position is not a problem. Just not sure if the placenta would come loose when the first baby is born? Or would it stay attached until the second baby comes? Asked by Ivy's Having Twins! - Mon Dec 7 17:53:52 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Less likely. This is because of the higher death rate of twins sharing a placenta. This is a truly higher risk and I could understand a doctor who recommended C-section in this instance. If your twins are roughly the same size, you may very well be able to have a vaginal birth. However, in many cases, one is getting more nutrient than the other and it isa potential problem at the birth. Sharing a sac would be fairly life threatening. The 50% rate is mostly based on doctor convenience. The only gals who have vaginal births with twins have doctors that aren't harping on them every visit to schedule a c-section.
