Can a first-born twin have a second child? Can a family with twins have a second child?

Can a first-born twin still have a second child? Since the second-child policy was opened, many people want to have a second child. So, does a family with twins as their first child meet the second-child policy? Can parents of twins legally give birth to their third baby? Please see the detailed introduction below.

No, the country implements a two-child policy. If the first child is twins and you want to have a second child, the child will be considered an extra birth and is not in compliance with national policy.

"Two children for one couple" is not the same as "two children for one couple". If a couple has already given birth to two or more children (such as twins or multiple births) as their first child, they are no longer eligible for the two-child policy.

A mother raised a question: after the policy comes out, if the first child is twins, can she still have another child?

The "universal two-child policy" refers to the full implementation of a policy that allows a couple to have two children, regardless of the couple's urban or rural, regional, ethnic, or identity attributes. However, "universal two-child" is not "universal two-child". "Advocating a couple to have two children" emphasizes the number of children rather than the number of births. If a couple gives birth to twins or multiples as the first child, they cannot give birth again according to the "universal two-child policy".

No matter how many babies the second child has, it is not considered an extra birth. If the first child is twins or multiples, you are not allowed to have another one, which is considered an extra birth. Therefore, if you find that you are pregnant with twins when you are pregnant with your second child, you don’t have to worry that your child is an extra birth.

The communique of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, released on August 29, 2015, proposed "full implementation of the policy that a couple can have two children." The population policy adjustment of the universal two-child policy aims to reverse the trend of declining demographic dividend and accelerated aging. For people of childbearing age, what are the benefits of having a second child?

Give your only child a companion so that their childhood is no longer lonely

It is not enough for children to have only their parents' company. Having a second child means that children will have a stronger tendency to share with others in their childhood. The closer the relationship between the first-born child and his peers, the stronger their willingness to share and take care of young children, and the lower their level of loneliness.

Let children develop mentally

The growth environment of only children can easily make them self-centered, unable to communicate and share with others, poor hands-on ability, lack of responsibility, strong dependence and other problems. If you have a second child, it will make the first child have a certain sense of responsibility, need to protect the younger siblings, and be a role model for them. Two children growing up together is conducive to the healthy development of the first child's mind.

Prevent parenting risks and reduce the burden of supporting children in old age

Nowadays, after many only children get married, they have to shoulder the responsibility of supporting four elderly people. Although many parents no longer need their children to support them after retirement, there are still many unpredictable problems such as illness, which bring great pressure to their children. If there are brothers and sisters in the family, the pressure will not be so great, and when encountering family problems, they can rely on each other.

The second child is a lubricant to adjust the conflicts between husband and wife

Although having a second child will bring various pressures to the family, the child can inject fresh vitality into the dull family, giving the couple more motivation to strive for success. The warm life of a family of four is very enviable. The second child brings double happiness to the family, and the second child is a lubricant to adjust the conflicts between the couple.
