Twins...Maybe??
Hi, my husband and I are expecting our first child... his father is a twin, his mother has two set of twin brothers on her side... and he has a set of twin siblings... neither one of his siblings has had twins, does that mean we might have them...
1 baby in my womb*
Figured I should word that part better.

Twins and triplets are common on my side and my husband's side of the family. There's at least 2 sets in every generation in my family. We only have 1 in there so it's really just a toss up. You may or may not.
Your husband's family history if fraternal twins will not affect whether you have twins, but it will increase the chances for your child (if it's a girl) to have twins. Identical twins can happen to anyone, but they don't run in families.
No, actually the likelihood of twins increases only if the women biologically related to you has had them. Your husband's side does not increase your chances at all.
Multiples happen when more than one eggs drop (fraternal, non-identical) or when one egg separates (identical). You are defiantly more likely to have twins than most. Hormones play a huge part and yes, your husband's family history of twins does increase the likelihood of twins.
We'll Yes I have a serious of twins on my side also..
I belive twins happen when two eggs are dropped so it does not depend on your husband but more on your side of the family
