Guest guest Posted October 12, 2000 Report Share Posted October 12, 2000 Hi Welcome welcome welcome Cor I read your intro and thought wow she's in New Zealand bet I could get her to join the NCT Houseswap Register, then I read that you've got 9 children and had a rethink, somehow I don't think you could afford the airfare over here to do a Houseswap Holiday in the first place!!! Oh well it was a fleeting thought. Tupman Mum to Matt 13, 10, Jonty 1 & Phil 35 NCT Houseswap Register Coordinator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes statistically the more children you have the higher your chance of conceiving fraternal twins. The risk also increases with maternal age (I was 29 when I conceived the girls), and family history (I have fraternal twins in my family) so it was no real surprise when we found out we would be getting a two for one deal :-) My number was up really.
