Ok, I have a serious question. FI and I are completely not planning a child until marriage or anything like that, but I'm curious. If twins run in your family, can that actually affect your probabilities of having a set of twins?
My great Aunt on my mothers side has twins. My great aunt and uncle on my father's side were twins. My Great grandmother on my mothers side had twins.
FI is a twin. And from what his mother says, they run in their family too.
Can that actually affect the chances of us having twins when we get married and start TTC? I've heard that twins skip a generation, but is that actually true?
I know this is nothing wedding related, and may not even belong on this board, but I was curious and I'm a Christian and I had no idea where to post this at. Thanks in advance.
Re: Twins? (Not wedding related...just curious)
My uncle has a this book that traces back our family history to when they came from Europe and settled in this area. (supposedly, I don't really believe that the info is accurate though.) I will have to borrow it and see if twins run in the family lol.
[QUOTE]If twins run in your family (or FIs) then yes, you do have an increased chance of twins.

agree
All babies are precious but twins are just so cute!

I think twins are cool. Last time this same friend was pregnant I had told my grandmother we were teasing her she might have twins and my grandmother announced twins run in my family.
"What are you talking about?" I asked because the only twins I could think of were my mom's cousins on my grandfather's side, whose twin-ness I've been told came from their mom, the wife of my grandfather's brother (in other words, not my blood relative).
Well then she proceded to tell me about like four pairs of twins on her side of the family who, while I never knew existed, exist all the same. So maybe I do have a chance of having twins.
Ryan doesn't know of any twins either... but his family is scattered all over the world and on a website that has some of the history of his family it said something about how they've always been quite fertile. lol.
