    Question What is the chances of twins

    Not that im planning on having another baby anytime soon! lol Just a random question (Also im not sure if this was the right place to post this but couldnt find somewhere it fit ?)

    i was wondering what the likelihood of twins were if i were to have a baby, if dp's mum's sisters were twins( their is also a few others on dp's mums side of the family with twins) aswell as one on his dads side.

    I have one set of twins in my family my grandmas sister..

    totally random i know, i just wondered as dp have been talking about more kids in a few years obviously and he mentioned wanting twins(much to my shock ykwim ) i dont think id be verry good with twins lol

    I don't think twins have anything to do with the male they happen when the female releases 2 eggs or the fertilised egg divide after conception.

    Fraternal twins run in families on the female side. It's to do with the ability of the woman's body to release two (or more) eggs at ovulation. Identical twins are just random, nature's pot luck
