[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see a lot of accidental 3 kid families lately, one older kid followed by twins. When I was growing up, I didn't know a lot of families with more than two. In fact, a lot of my friends were only children. [/quote]

How do you know the twins were an accident? And lots of twin accidents? You just live in a neighborhood where everyone is accidentally having twins after an older child. Mmmhmmm  :roll: [/quote]

[b]Uh, you can't just....have twins on purpose[/b]. You understand that right? Twins are spontaneous. Maybe some of these families would have gone for a third regardless, but they didn't plan their twins...[/quote]

They are much more common with fertility treatments. That’s what PP is talking about.[/quote]

As someone whose kids were conceived via fertility treatment, accepting the higher risk of multiples does not mean that you intend to have multiples. They’re still very much a surprise. [/quote]

If you don’t want a surprise of two only implant one embryo. How can you read the fine print, make a decision where having twins is a distinct possibility, and then be surprised? [/quote]
They can split. I have a friend who implanted two and got three. [/quote]

But that's known to happen. I'm sure it's as surprising as needing fertility treatments and then even getting pregnant at all. Suprise! But that means the treatment you sought out worked.[/quote]
