Twins And A Double Stroller
Mar 29th 2009Guest AuthorBabies
Twenty years ago, a double stroller was a fairly hard item to come by. It certainly wasn't a general staple in any baby store. Fast forward to today, and double strollers are in much greater demand. Simply stated, that's because multiple births have dramatically increased over the last twenty plus years.
Why have twins increased so much in 30 years or so? This is due to a number of societal items. One reason is because it is more common in women over the age of thirty five to have twins. And this is often due from the result of many couples waiting until a later age to tie the knot and start a family.
A man and woman couple are getting married at a later age than in decades past. This is also therefore delaying children into a married couples' life plans. This factored in with women having more opportunities to forge a successful career path has also pushed their decision-making process to think about having children at a later date.
Conceiving twins naturally occurs in approximately three percent of all pregnancies. If you are over 35 and trying to conceive, your Luteinising Hormone, known as LH, secrets at a greater rate typically than women under that age, and therefore increases chances of birthing twins. But in the last few decades, the dramatic increase in fertility drug usage has also spawned an similar amazing increase in multiple births.
If you a woman or a couple being blessed with twins or more, or using procedures that increase the chance of such, you are certainly considering the market for a double stroller! You may be shopping for fraternal twins (genetically differing, twins with different looks) or identical twins (identical genetics/often strikingly similar appearance).
Birthing twins is certainly an exciting milestone in a mother's or family's life. One unintended consequence of this is that your notoriety as a new mom will rise as the news gets around. So to will the larger and cooler double stroller stand out as you run errands or go to the market for shopping. Don't be surprised when those around you are curious to ask questions of you to share in the interest and fascination with this wonderful blessing.
Your double stroller is a purchase that's pretty important, as it's the main transportation for your two young children most every day when you're on the move. So it's key to find a great one that you're satisfied with. Plus you'll probably get more interested eye-catching glances from onlookers who will stop to admire what's in your double stroller and view your young beauties!
