What is the likelihood of me having twins?
My sister had fraternal twins at 23, and twins run on my mother's side of the family, though she, her mother, and none of my siblings are twins. I was wondering if my chances of having twins is greater since my sister had twins.
if there are twins on your side of the family you could.
if fraternal twins run on your mothers side of the family, then you have a slightly higher chance of having twins because most likely women on your mothers side release 2 eggs per month - therefore a larger chance of having fraternal twins.
It is fraternal twins that are hereditary while identical twins are not...so you never know......
