As a mother of identical twins and a singleton, I think this is pretty sick.

For one thing, twin pregnancies are much riskier than other pregnancies, both for the kids and for the mom. I was on complete bedrest for 10 weeks with my pregnancy, and that is not uncommon. My twins had RSV and almost died even though they were full term. Not every set of twins has problems, but the risk for prematurity and problems is just so much higher.

It’s one thing to be happy about something that God has given you. It’s another thing to keep on having babies to have twins.

I don’t know—call me nuts, but I think it might be better for the children if their parents were actually married.

However its not wrong to want more babies. Unless they are supported by taxes I say let them do what they want.
