This means the twins do not share the same DNA and will not be identical. They can be of the same or opposite sex. Each baby will typically have their own placenta and amniotic sac.\nIdentical twins occur when a fertilized egg splits and develops into two (or more) fetuses. They are genetically identical \u2013 they will have the same sex and share physical traits and characteristics. Rarely, identical twins will fail to completely separate and be born as conjoined twins. Identical twins can share a placenta and an amniotic sac or they might share a placenta but each have a separate sac.\nTriplets and higher multiples can be identical, fraternal or a combination of both!<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1192\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1192\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Why do twin pregnancies occur?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1192\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1192\">Twin or triplet pregnancies may occur randomly by chance. In other cases they occur due to specific factors such as being older (as hormonal changes cause multiple eggs to be released) or due to the use of assisted reproductive technologies ( Such as IVF). The latter also increases the risk that you have triplets or higher multiples.
