The birth of twins - always an event. In the old days it even saw the "diabolical" omen. And for modern parents the birth of two children - double the joy! About twins goes a lot of myths concerning their health and character, and behavior. But here is whether these myths of research physicians and psychologists? Let's find out!
The birth of twins is genetic causes, and they are usually born in a generation. The fact that there is a genetic predisposition to the birth of twins - it's true. But what about the generations... There are times when one family twins are born only once, and more "phenomenon" is not repeated. And sometimes, the twins are born, and in the next generation. Although it usually refers to the fraternal twins. Reusing the birth of identical twins - is a rarity.
Gemini have the same set of genes and chromosomes. If we talk about dizygotic (fraternal) twins, their genes are no more alike than ordinary siblings. But in monozygotic (identical) twins do the same genetic code. But here's the paradox - the fingerprints are still different!
Gemini is always born prematurely. Is not a fact! Yes, the likelihood of preterm labor with twins harboring slightly higher. But a lot of mothers, carrying twins give birth to them in due time - 40 weeks. By the way, in the words of experienced obstetricians, normal term for carrying twins - 37 weeks.
Twins are born only by Caesarean section. The probability of cesarean birth of twins is not higher than that at the birth of a child. But if we are talking about three or more twins, the risk increases. A two woman is fully capable to give birth to yourself!
Identical twins can not be distinguished. If you are more familiar with them, you can catch the differences. For example, one has a mole and the other does not. They may have different facial expressions, manner of speaking, smiling, the difference in his voice.
Twins tend to be different in nature. For example, one quiet and the other glib. It is not necessary! The characters they may vary no more than ordinary siblings. Another thing is that often the twins want to be like each other, they seek to express their individuality and therefore engaged in "antipodrazhaniem".
Usually, the older of the twins (the one that was born first) - the leader and the youngest - driven. Here, rather, blame parenting. If the twins all the time say that some of them are older, and some younger, they often start to behave accordingly. Sometimes, however, to determine the seniority impossible. But by and large a few minutes that pass between the birth of twins, did not really decide.
At school, the twins share the better. Many parents try to send their children-twins in different classes or insist that they are not planted for one party. But this is for the convenience of the adults themselves - so that teachers do not confuse that children will not be charged from each other lessons, etc... In fact, if twins birthday together, then split them can turn a lot of stress.
Child psychologists agree that the first twin is better to give in the same class. Later, when they learn independence, everyone can choose the way forward.
Identical twins suffer from the same disease. In many ways, this is true, since identical twins similar genotype. But health also depends on the lifestyle, environmental conditions and other factors. So absolutely assert that disease in twins are identical, it is not necessary.
Gemini have the ability to feel each other at a distance. Basically, people often feel close to each other. But it may be, for example, both parents and children, husbands and wives, ordinary brothers and sisters. Perhaps the twins, who spend much time together, this sensitivity develops further. One twin may feel at a distance, what happens to his "twins", for example, if that happened some misfortune, injury, or he contracted a serious illness. Gemini can sometimes easily read each other's thoughts, but nothing surprising in this: they often think the same way. But the same can be done by people who each other a long time and know live well together... But if twins share the birth, this effect is not observed.
