Irish Twins is an expression for babies that are born within a year of each other.

I'd guess most of them are having twins b/c of fertility treatments. Especially at their ages, I wouldn't be surprised.
Maybe not Diddy -- I don't see him making that kind of an effort to have babies with a non-wife.

The term "Irish twins" is also considered a slur against the Irish.

hate to say it but Irish twins are not twins, they are still two different ages and doing two different things.

and anon who cares what its a sign of invitro or not. they are babies and humans.

I had twins, naturally, identical at that. doesnt mean my kids are better than invitro twins.

I agree that it's probably due to invitro due to their ages.

Is it safe to continue with the botox while pregnant? Isn't that a toxin?

Invitro is against the bible and is unnatural.No cloning. Babies are not just babies. We still don't know if these children will have problems later on in life due to the process.

DOM, THAT IS A CRUEL THING TO SAY. THEY ARE HUMAN, THEY ARE NOT MADE OF SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN YOU AND I ARE, THEY ARE JUST CONCEIVED IN A DIFFERENT WAY, ALL CHILDREN ARE A BLESSING AND IF THESE CHILDREN ARE BORN WITH SOME SORT OF PROBLEM I'M SURE THEY WONT BE LOVED ANY LESS. IF PEOPLE CHOOSE THIS METHOD TO HAVE CHILDREN THAN THATS GREAT, GOOD FOR THEM

Dom you're an uneducated idiot. Invitro involves harvesting the mother's eggs and fertilizing them outside the womab with the father's sperm. It's not cloning you spaz.

Regardless, I think the mothers are taking the hormone Clomid which can produce more than one egg while still conceieving naturally.

No, Botox should not be done during pregancy. It is a toxic. Much like you shouldn't smoke or drink alcohol.
