Jordanian women had 6,531 twins in 2025
Today, Saturday, the Higher Population Council’s grant celebrates International Twins Day, which aims to raise awareness about the health and biological aspects associated with multiple pregnancies. Data have shown an increase in twin birth rates in Jordan, rising from approximately 24 twin births per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 43 twin births in 2025, a 79% increase. In the same year, a total of 6,531 twins were recorded, with likely contributing factors including increased use of medical technologies to enhance the chances of multiple pregnancies—especially among women aged 35-39, where the highest twin rates were recorded at 54 per 1,000 births. Twin pregnancies are considered high-risk pregnancies and require special medical follow-up to reduce health risks and psychological or economic damages that may result from the loss of a twin pregnancy after fertility attempts and assisted reproductive techniques.
