In the Rodger family, multiple 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren are 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 per conception. The active parents have six 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, specifically three sets of twins. This week, Lewis and Kyle, ages 14, and Finn and Jude, ages 12, received a pair of sisters as a double present. The parents are still shopping, but they are already accustomed to doing everything twice.
When a couple announces they are expecting twins, the first question typically asked is “Do you have twins in your family?” Regarding the Rodgers, the answer is affirmative. Even within the nuclear family. In fact, the Rodger family is incapable of giving 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to a solitary 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, as all six of their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren were delivered in pairs. Rowan and Ila, two adorable new additions to the world, were 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 on Wednesday, joining their four elder brothers: Louis and Kyle, 14 years old, and Finn and Jude, 12 years old. What are the probabilities, you ask? The odds are one in a half million. Karen, age 41, is admittedly a little overwrought, but she is also very joyful.
After a brief respite from the rigorous upbringing of four sons delivered within two years, the couple decided to give themselves the last pregnancy as a gift for Karen’s 40th 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day. “I never believed I would have twins again; I never even considered the possibility. It is extremely uncommon for a family to have two sets of twins, so when I was pregnant with my third 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, I did not anticipate this at all. At the 6-week ultrasound, which I attended alone, the technician informed me that there were two infants and showed me their pulses. I promptly texted my spouse, and he immediately texted back, ‘It’s really not funny’ When I got out of the test, I called him and convinced him that I wasn’t teasing; he was as surprised as I was, but very pleased.

Karen’s misguided gut kept performing tricks on her during her pregnancy, or, alternatively, it was difficult for her to envision herself donning pink overalls for someone after having four sons. “We decided not to find out the gender of the babies before they were 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧, but I had a strong sense that I was expecting another set of males. I’m still a little surprised that I have two daughters and am no longer the only female in the house. Finally, someone will want to experiment with my makeup and wear my heels!” the astonished mother chuckled. “I’m also still adjusting to the fact that I have daughters, but it’s certain that with five men at home, when they have a boyfriend he won’t dare to do anything we don’t like,” said the new father, who has already informed his boss that he will be absent from work for the next month to assist in adjusting to the new lifestyle.

The couple did not disclose whether they undertook fertility treatments, which increase the likelihood of a twin pregnancy, nor did they specify whether their families have a history of producing twins. However, the fact that a couple has previously had twins, combined with the mother’s advanced age, also increases the likelihood of a twin pregnancy – although it is assumed that the couple will not compare the number of girls to the number of boys, and will instead wait for the grand𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren to determine whether the family tendency has been passed down to the next generation.
