Chances of twins?

Question

I would like to know what are the chances of having twins when your SO is a twin himself; especially identical twin. I would like to know if it's possible to someone could tell me what are the possible chances of twins if I get pregnant?

Answer

Twin probability is only higher if twins run on your maternal side of your family. Your husband being a twin won't increase your chances at all. Also, identical twins are not genetically inheritated so if there are identical twins on your mothers side that would also not increase your chances. They would have be fraternal and the women on your mothers side would have to have had fraternal twins for it to give you a higher probability. It COULD still happen though you could release two eggs when you ovulate and thus fraternal twins are born. :) I hope this helps. Good luck to you if twins are what you want!

Answer

I've heard that multiples also skip a generation.
