Be Fruitful And Multiply.
(From The Moscow Times)
Andrei Malik, a logistics specialist from the Moscow suburb of Odintsovo, was shocked when he found out that he was going to become the father of three boys at once.
Doctors first insisted that his wife, Ludmila, was carrying twins, but an ultrasound at 22 weeks revealed that they were wrong.
"It was a shock. We had no children before, and now we had to start with three at once," Malik said.
As far as the couple knew, they did not have a family history of multiple births.
Experts say more triplets and quadruplets are being born in Russia than ever before. In 2006, 106 sets of triplets were born in the country, and in 2007 the number increased to 145, according to the number of birth certificates issued by the Social Insurance Foundation. In January this year, 18 sets of triplets were born, compared with 12 sets in January 2007. One set of quadruplets was born in Russia in all of 2007, but two sets were born this January alone.
One reason for the increase in multiple births in Russia could simply be an increase in birth rates in the country in general. Another cause could be the rise of fertility treatments as more and more women wait to have children.
