Giving Birth to Twins 

Jerome: Congratulations! I just heard that you’re pregnant with twins. 

Paula: Thanks. We’re very excited, although I’m a little worried about a multiple birth. 

Jerome: I come from a long line of multiple births. My father is an identical twin and he had cousins who are fraternal twins. 

Paula: I see what you mean. 

Jerome: That’s not even the half of it. My maternal1 grandmother gave birth to triplets and my aunt had quadruplets. 

Paula: Wow, multiple births certainly run in your family. What about your immediate2 family? 

Jerome: You’re not going to believe this, but my mother had octuplets. I have seven brothers and sisters the same age. 

Paula: And all of you survived? 

Jerome: Yup, every single one of us. We often joke that my mother didn’t have babies. She had a litter!
