Twins?

I turned 40 in January.  Found out last night I preggo with baby #5.  My grandmother was a fraternal twin.  Maybe five weeks along and symptoms like crazy.  How big a possibility is it twins?

It's definitely a possibility. I'm pregnant for my second time with twins. I've learned that age and genetics can play a huge part when it comes to multiples. But I wouldn't worry because it's not always certain.

It's certainly a possibility but I wouldn't know the percentage.  Guess you'll have to wait and see. Keep us updated!
