When a woman becomes pregnant, the process of conception does not always stop at one baby. A pregnancy of more than one fetus concurrently is called a multiple pregnancy. While the majority of multiple pregnancies refer to twin/triplets, with the increase in the use of fertility drugs, multiples have been growing in number in recent years. Twins can happen with one fertilized egg splitting or two eggs being fertilized by separate sperms.
