Every year in New Zealand around 1000 families will welcome twins, triplets or occasionally even higher order multiples. That number is increasing every year, partly due to the increase in fertility treatments such as clomiphene and IVF which have a higher chance of producing multiples, and partly due to women leaving it longer to start their families - women over 35 are more likely to conceive twins or triplets.
