Plenty of women grow up dreaming about their future family, envisaging little mini-me daughters and bright-as-a-button boys. But what about when it comes to planning twin babies? Well, many women swear that the following natural methods helped them to conceive twins, despite the fact that twins didn’t run in their family.
1. It’s a fact that women who naturally conceive twins tend to live in areas where sweet potatoes/yams are a major part of their diet. Yams are supposed to increase the fertility of a woman and improve the ovulation process as well, thereby increasing the chances of getting twins.
2. “Fertility research has proven that twin pregnancies are much more common in women who are over 35 years. But this only applies to non-identical twins.
3. The general recommendation for women who are planning to conceive is to start taking folic acid supplements one month before conception.
4. Foods which are high in zinc, such as oysters, green leafy vegetables, seeds, and bread, will help with sperm production - thus increasing his likelihood of being able to fertilise more than one egg.
5. While there are sex positions that some believe can help sway the gender of a baby (For anyone interested, if your partner ejaculates shallowly into you, rather than right in your cervix, some studies show it may be more likely to help conceive a girl. It's by no means an exact science, but there you are), there aren't really any positions to help with twins. Unless you can invent some sort of position that involves releasing two eggs, or splitting one egg, then you'll have to resort to other methods. Also, that sex position would be pretty crazy, and not in a good way.
