Playing catch up: Doctor, I need twins now please ...

Women who have delayed raising a family are now opting for technology to deliver twins and make up for the lost time.

The delay over education and pursuing careers, among other reasons, has seen a decrease in fertility rates over the last two decades.

Dr Wanjiru Ndegwa, an Obstetrician/Gynaecologist and Fertility specialist, lists other reasons for decreased fertility as including lifestyle changes, diet and urbanisation-besides personal choices which has seen women delivering fewer children later in life than was previously the case when it was common for one woman to have 10 children before their 30th birthday.
