A recent wave of research suggests twin births across Asia are set to rise in the coming years, a trend driven by the growing use of fertility treatments and women increasingly delaying motherhood. The finding, highlighted by a leading global analysis, warns that higher twin rates could complicate pregnancy and childbirth for mothers and babies alike. For Thailand, where birth rates have plunged and the population is aging, the potential uptick in twins could reshape how perinatal care is organized, funded, and delivered.
