Now that we’ve caught your attention because you’re a Swiftie (cough me too cough) or you simply love the idea of BUY 1 FREE 1 (cough so do I cough), let’s get into the good stuff. But first, let me ask: Are you expecting twins? Or do you simply love the idea of having twins? Perhaps you have a twin, and you want to surprise them with some shocking twin facts about each other? 👀 Well, you’ve come to the right place!
Imagine it’s your first time becoming a parent and your OB tells you that you’re going to have twins. Are you shocked? Excited? In denial? Happy? Maybe a bit terrified? Chill, mommy. You’re going to be okay. How about you sit back, relax, and let us share some interesting fun facts about twinsies with you!
- #DidYouKnow that twins will have physical differences, even if they are identical?
You thought you knew, but did you really know know? 🤭 Think of it this way, just like baking apple pies, small differences in the environment make each one unique. Identical twins are like two pies from the same recipe, similar but not identical. They’ll always have some physical differences due to their unique environments.
What are some examples of these differences, you may ask? Well, let’s take height and weight for instance. Even identical twins can have different heights and weights. This is because they are influenced by both their DNA and what they eat. Interestingly, these differences in diet can start as early as when the twins are growing inside the uterus. Factors like how well they connect to the placenta can result in one twin receiving more nourishment even before they are born! Cool, huh?
- #DidYouKnow twins bond before they are born?
It’s no surprise there’s a special bond between twins, but did you know that it begins in the womb? Yessir! Researchers from the University of Padova in Italy did a study using 3D ultrasound videos of 5 sets of twins in the womb. Guess what they found? Even at just 14 weeks old, these little twins were already reaching out and touching each other. They’d go head to head and arm to head, like they were giving each other high fives! 🙌 And by 18 weeks, they took it up a notch. The twins were stroking each other more often and spending around 30 percent of their time in physical contact.
How adorable is that? 😍 But here’s the really sweet part, they were being extra gentle when touching near their siblings’ eyes. Aww, it’s like they already knew how delicate that area is!
- #DidYouKnow there’s a diet that can increase the chances of giving birth to twins?
Just when you thought nothing was impossible in this world, here’s a fun fact for you: If you’re looking to increase your chances of having twins, stock up on cheese and start chugging milk! 🧀🥛
According to an article in the British journal The Lancet, women who consume dairy products have 13 times higher levels of a protein called IGF (insulin-like growth factor) compared to vegans. This protein actually makes the ovaries more sensitive to follicle-stimulating hormone, which is responsible for triggering ovulation. So, there you have it! A potential answer to your twin aspirations!
