This is a little loony, imho. Most women should not WANT to have twins and try to have them. It leads to much more complications both for the mother and the baby.
1Thank God I'm not likely to have twins! That would kill me! I'd only want that if I had tons of money and 4 nannys!
2I can honestly say that my husband and I had really hoped for twins and when we were pregnant with our 2nd child and there was the chance she was twins, we were quite dissappointed that she was a singleton. I don't think it's something people should not want. There's nothing wrong with wanting twins, it's those who want high order multiples that should be careful because that's when there are serious complications. Twins is something that occurs naturally and frequently and safely.
3Twins are at an increase for miscarriage, delivery complications, premature births (which can later lead to developmental delays, learning disabilities, sensory issues, etc..) Although it happens and many children and mothers are fine, it isn't something that should be advertised or encouraged in my opinion.
4WE ARE LOOKING TO ADOPTED A BABY OR TWINS OR WHAT EVER IS SOME ONE KNOW ANY ONE THAT WANT TO PLACE THE CHILD WE WANT TO ADOPTED A NEW BORN UP TO 3 4 YEARS OLD GOD BLESS
5kmckay has the right idea. This article is irresponsible. Please do a little research and present all the facts and risks associated with multiple pregnancies before suggesting ways to increase one's chances and to encourage it. One of the main goals of IVF practices (supported by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine) is to reduce the rate multiple births. Some risks for twin pregnancies include, high rates of prematurity, low birth weight, perinatal morbidity and mortality among others. Reference: J Moise, The outcome of twin pregnancies after IVF. Human Reproduction, Vol 13, 1702-1705.

7I agree with most others, you shouldn't go out of your way to have twins. It's just a simple fact that there are higher levels of risks associated with having twins than with a single child.
And anon #3, twins aren't all that frequent.
