[Opinions] Re: What would you name twins? middle name optional
in reply to a message by Joiya
Yeah! I heard about Yams increase the chances of producing twins (or other multiples) I read that some where's online. Same with consistent diet of dairy and having kids later in life. But I really don't reccomend being overweight and trying to conceive (Even though that does happen) I heard that overweight or heavier mothers have an increase chance to have a child with Autism (a child on any part on the Autistic spectrum) though even more if they have diabetes. ): not so great...

it's specific types of yams (like Yoruba). Most of these yams are imported from Asia or Africa. Eating them (or buying the dried stuff and taking it like a pill) totally works, but it's crazy expensive. However, you can get some of the yams in the imported section of the store. I also do not recommend TTC while overweight, but I am currently pregnant and (unfortunately) obese technically. I am far more worried about diabetes than Autism.

Yes, "Yoruba" is what I heard. But to be honest, if twins don't ever come my way, it is what it is. I wouldn't want to force myself to eat something I don't care for (yams i dont care for lol. I'll stick with dairy And the overweight thing while preg I heard many times for YEARS from several resources. Bigger moms have an increased chance of having a child with autism but even more if they have diabetes (diabetes regardless of their weight\body type) at least that's what scientist supposingly say. You can Google it yourself. Tons of sites and article supporting the claim. This does not gaurentee that your child will be on the spectrum. Its just from what they say that the chances are increasedTake care (:

Cassava, not Yoruba. Sorry, the Yoruba peoples eat cassava. Cassava candy is my husband's favorite (besides Durian). Cassava cakes are also quite nice.

Totally off topicOh man... I looked up cassava cakes and they sound so good! We've got lots of Filipino people in my city...I wonder if I could find the ingredients to make it at a specialty grocery store. Or maybe I could beg the ladies at work to make me some.
