OUCH!! THAT'S NO BABY - THAT'S A HORSE!
The heaviest birth weight for surviving twins on record goes to Mrs. J.P. Haskin of Arkansas, on February 20 1924, whose twins weighed in at an eye-watering 14lbs & 13lbs 12oz, totalling 27lb 2oz. The Uk's heaviest set appear to have been the Warren's born on December 6th 1884 totalling 25lbs 8ozs.
There is a restaurant in New York called "Twinsworld". They only hire twins
as staff and currently employ 37 sets of twins.
By the time that your twins are potty trained, they would have got through
around 12,000 nappies! Just don't even think about what you could have bought!
( I'm thinking of applying to Pampers for honorary shares!)
In 1980, Terri Plompen from Wisconsin gave birth to her daughter Robyn Theresa, but her twin Renee Marle wasn't born until four weeks later!
The Galalareese people believe that if a woman were to consume two bananas growing from a single head she would give birth to twins
ACCORDING TO THE GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS the record for longest interval between the live birth of two healthy twins is 84 days. Hanna and
Eric Lynn were actually born in different years, Hanna arrived on November 11th 1995, and Eric followed on February 2nd 1996
Maddalena Granata (1839-1886) of Italy had 15 sets of triplets;Leontina Albina, from Chile, the world's most prolific living mother (55 children) had 5 sets of triplets (all boys)
Coggeshall, Essex seem to have had a very strange last year or so.
They now have 6 sets of twins all under a year and still have one
more set due in April. Of the 6 sets they have only just got a mixed set.
The rest were all boys. They think it must have something to do with the
water too (or it may be the ley lines that cross in the village) Apparently Coggeshall
has a history of twins, but not normally this many in one year. Officials have warned
the school's to get ready for a jump in number's so that they are ready for four years time!
One mothers said "I think if I ever try to have another go at having children,
I'M MOVING. I don't want a second set!"
Mothers in the small village of Redbourn in Hertfordshire are beginning to wonder whether it's the tea they drink. The villagecurrently boasts 6 sets of twins and triplets between the ages of 0 and 3, plus more expected in November. Other sets born there have moved away to neighbouring villages, increasing the total in the overall area. Nearby St. Albans is also known to have a high rate of twin births, but not as a result of fertility treatment.
