Beware that twins are coming
The gestation rate of twins in Spain ranges between 2 and 3 percent, but in comparison to twins or dizygotic twins, these are more frequent than twins or monozygotic twins.

On the other hand only 30% of Germans and 40% of French would prefer a multiple birth. This is partly because in Germany and France more information about multiple pregnancies is promoted.
