- When my wife found out she was pregnant with twins 2+ years ago, we did some reading
- and discovered that the "risk" factors included being over 35 (or low twenties -- i.e.
- newlywed), heredity, and so forth. We'd like to think that twins were caused by extra
- passion :-), but same book went on to say that these factors only affect the incidence
- of fraternal twins. The incidence of identical twins (like ours) was constant across
- all ages, races, and family backgrounds. I don't know the name of the original study,
- or even which book it was in, but most of the books we found on twins had the same
- information.
