Lately, I noticed celebrities have been giving birth to twins. This holds true not only in Hollywood but also locally, here in the Philippines.
Here are some Hollywood couples with twin blessings:
- Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony
- Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
- Rebecca Romjin and Jerry O'Conell (still expecting come winter)
- Julia Roberts and husband Danny Moder
- Marcia Cross and husband Tom Mahoney
- Patrick Dempsey and wife Jillian
- Charlene Gonzales and Aga Muhlach
- Carmina Villaroel and Zoren Legaspi
- Broadcaster Vicky Morales and husband King Reyno
What's with these celebrities causing this twin boom trend? Fans are wanting to follow suit and have twins for themselves, to the point of considering fertility pills. Well, having twins does sound cute but multifetal pregnancy poses more risks to the mother and the babies.
When I was doing ultrasound during my residency training, I dreaded scanning a twin pregnancy because it was more tricky to trace. But it was exciting to break the news to the mother. The mom would either welcome it gleefully or paint a worried look on her face calculating the double costs later in these kids' life. It's probably why twins are lately given to celebrity couples, because they can afford raising these double bundles of joy with their million dollar incomes, don't you think?
