Not that much higher than the normal
population. There were twins in my family
& triplets in my husbands but no-one
on either side has had a multiple birth in
our generation, although to be honest both
I & one of my cousins lost our sons
twin.

When it comes to twins whether you will
have them or not is completley dependant
upon the womans side of the family the
father has nothing to do with the
conception of twins.

So if my dad has fifteen brothers and
sisters and of that fifteen there were
three sets of twins and in my generation
there has only been one set born to my
cousin does that increase or decrease our
chances.
My bf and I would love to have twins
from someone who cant wait to have a jelly
bean all of their own

Allusivepond since its your dad you are
talking about and not your b/fs dad it
would greatly increase your chances of
having twins because his genes went into
making you so you could have the twin type
gene.. Sometimes it skips generations and
so you never really know but your chance
are deffinetly increased:) good luck:)

Twins seem to skip generations with some
families but not in others, my mother was
a twin, but out of her children and her
brothers children there were no twins,
but now im having twins :d good luck!

Good feedback.
