Twin birth rate at lowest level in decade, and that's a good thing, doctors say
The CDC did not release figures on triplets or other multiple births, but said data suggests it’s trending the same way.

Those women are the biggest customers of expensive in vitro fertilization treatments, which are involved in roughly 15 percent of multiple births. And there’s been a shift in how that technique is done.
