I don't think just "twins" is really correct, despite gg5.
I don't think you'd use this to refer to the twins by themselves.</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>I mean the daijr def is "the state of having two fetuses in the womb at the same time". And yeah the best translation for that is probably "twin pregnancy"</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Plenty of cases of it being used to mean "twins".
Maybe safest to have both.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>It might get translated as "twins" in some compound nouns but the specific meaning is "[having] [unborn] twins [in one's womb]" if we go by what's in the kokugos etc. So having it just as "twins" without further context seems misleading.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>医学大辞典 defines it as "twin" (in the womb). I think we should have it as a second gloss.</upd_detl>
