Speaking of wealthy New Yorkers, the NY Sun has an article about the high number of twins terrorizing pedestrians in their double wide strollers - and the mothers who have the fertility treatments to have them - on the sidewalks of New Yorker. Gothamist would just like to say that before twins were fashionable, we were right there.

So by being an Identical Twin, I was an unwitting trendsetter?
Cool!
those babies look like they're breakdancing. i guess they're PR.
Baby joints are perfect for breakdancing.
ahhahahah..cute baby pics
natural born twins might create a war
against fertility made twins..
Actually, wouldn't the trend be for fraternal twins since they are from separate embryos? Sorry, S.D., you're just way cooler than them!
It isn't just fertility treatments that bring on the twins, it's having kids later in life, among other factors. Check these out:
http://www.geocities.com/wmotc/types.htm "More often, older women, African American women, women with higher sexual activity (studies found that more twins are conceived during the first three months of marriage), taller women, and women with previous children have a higher incidence of twins. Research has also shown that women who just go off the pill, possibly because of hormone levels, have a high incidence of twins as well."
and
http://www.nomotc.org/library/incidence.html
"The extraordinary rise in multiple births over the last two decades, especially in triplet/+ births, has been associated with two related trends; advances in, and greater access to assisted reproductive medicine (i.e., ovulation-inducing drugs and assisted reproductive techniques (ART) such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), and with the older age of childbearing (women in their thirties are more likely to have a multiple birth even without the help of fertility therapies)."
Not a Twin -
I'll accept your second reference, but you should never reference a geocities website as a reliable source of info. That's possibly worse than referencing a Yahoo Group as a source.
On a side not, never use a website as a source when they have animated gifs.
Not a Twin - Just to point out, I'm teasing you... The information was indeed interesting - I was just being snarky if it wasn't obvious.
did anyone notice this from the article:
Ms. Schneider, 49, a banker, and her husband, 81, went to the fertility clinic at what is now NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital when they had trouble conceiving.
husband, 81? are they sure it was she who needed fertility drugs?
