Multiple Pregnancy Causes, Symptom and Types
Multiple Pregnancy in Brief.  Knowing Multiple
Pregnancy.
Every child born in a family brings happiness.
But multiple pregnancy is double, triple, four
time or even five times the joy. 
Multiple pregnancy where two or more children are
born in one pregnancy period. We normally must
have heard of the term twins when two kids are
born together in one pregnancy. There are chances
that more than two children are born to a mother
in one pregnancy. Triplets are three siblings
born in one pregnancy to a mother and there are
four they are called quadruplets and if there are
five of them they are called quintuplets or
quins. More than two babies at a time is also
called high-order multiples.

Causes of Multiple pregnancy
The first cause of multiple pregnancy is the two
eggs are fertilized by sperms in one cycle and
the second being when an egg is fertilized and
then it splits into two or more to form two or
more babies. Ladies above the age of 30 have more
chances of having multiple pregnancy as they
could produce more than one egg in one cycle
moreover ladies with two mature follicles in one
cycle also have a greater chance of having
multiple pregnancy as they can also produce two
eggs simultaneously.

Symptoms of Multiple Pregnancy
The Symptoms of a lady pregnant with one child
and those with multiple pregnancy would be the
same but the lady with multiple pregnancy may
have these symptoms at a bit more heightened
levels and slightly more severe. More severe
nausea, More faster weight gain and more appetite
would be some evident symptoms of multiple
pregnancy, even though they are not always true.
The actual signs or evidences of multiple
pregnancy can only be determined or ascertained
by pregnancy blood test in which HCG (Human
Choronic Gonadotrophin) would be evidently high.
Now a days due to advanced medical testing and
technology the mother can be sure of a multiple
pregnancy as early as 6 weeks of conception.
Types of Multiple pregnancy
Broadly there are three types of Multiple
pregnancy 
1. Identical or Monozygotic Twins. These twins
are the result of a single egg being fertilized
by a sperm and then the egg divides itself to
form to babies. 
5
2. Fraternal or Dizygotic Twins. These twins are
the result of two eggs being fertilized by sperms
during one cycle of ovulation. The eggs may be
conceived at different times, as far apart as 24
days, but are mostly born at the same time. For
this particular reason the eggs can be fertilized
by sperms from two different individuals.

3. Higher Order Multiples are more than two
babies born during one pregnancy. They may be
know by various names like triplets if three are
born at a time, quadruplets if four babies and
quintuplets or quins if five.
One, two, three or five every child born is a
joyous moment for the family and especially for
the Mother who carried and nurtured them in their
womb for 9 months.
