whats my chances of having been twins?

Question

okay so my great grandmother on my mom's side had 22 kids, yes a few were sets of twins.
 none of my mom's sisters are twins nor had twins. my mom miscarried two sets of twins in the past though. so what would my chances be of having twins? does that mean there's at least a better chance than it randomly happening for couples without history of twins?

Answer

I've thought about this too! Fraternal twins are on my side and my husband's side. His mom and aunt are twins, his great uncle and Aunt are twins. my mom's two aunts are twins and my grandmother lost a set of twins 😱

Answer

You have more of a chance of having twins because twins run in your family and on your moms side.

Answer

so how many sets of twins did she have. omg 22 kids I'd lose my mind

Answer

Ya, you're chances are better than just random. fraternal twins are caused due to a gene for hyperovulating so it is passed down but it's not a guarantee.
