74. How many mothers of multiples have subsequent pregnancies? Some
families do have children after the birth of their multiples. The ongoing
MOST Subsequent Pregnancy survey currently has 32 responses from families
who had one or more children after their multiples. An overwhelming majority
of those respondents, 70%, actually experienced a spontaneous pregnancy,
and the remaining 30% used treatments for infertility to conceive. In
fact, 16% of these responses subsequently gave birth to multiples again.
The majority of the singleton subsequent pregnancies went near full term,
over 38 weeks.
The MOST Subsequent Pregnancy Survey is open to participants. For more information visit the MOST Research page. To

Statistics page. The MOST Supertwins store sells a complete survival guide titled Raising Multiple Birth Children that includes information about subsequent pregnancies. Please
