Twin Births in the U.S., Like Never Before. More twins are being born in the United States than ever before. From 1980 to 2009, according to a recent report by the National Center for Health Statistics, the rate of twin births rose 76 percent. Now about one in 30 babies born in the United States is a twin.
The number of babies being born is astounding. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that 361,481 babies are born each day around the world. That works out to be 251 babies born worldwide per minute. Oh baby! Within the U.S., there were 3,952,841 babies born in 2012, according to the CDC. That's about 3 percent of the world's baby total (and 749 fewer births than in 2011).
