DH's second cousin has a set of fraternal twins. That's it on both sides!
-
My aunt and uncle are fraternal twins and I think there is another set further up the family tree. A set of identical twins on my dad side. And the babies that hopefully stay in my belly for the next 7 weeks
-
yes
dad/uncle identical
uncle/aunt fraternal
(all siblings - 3 years apart)cousins fraternal
DH's side has 2 identical sets
all conceived naturally
-
My grandmas grandma was a twin but it hasn't repeated. My doctor suspects I hyper ovulate at least sometimes (based in post ovulation cysts)! My cousin has twins through ivf.
-
None at all on my side.
Two of DH's nieces have boy/girl twins. -
There aren't any on either side. Mine would have been the first, but it wasn't meant to be.
-
My husband has triplet cousins, but that's it.
-
My dad/aunt are fraternal twins.
My paternal aunt then had fraternal twins.
That's been it so far! None of my generation has birthed twins yet but there are a few left that are just starting families, so time will tell. -
Just us, but that was via ivf.
-
My mom had twin cousins (who were born 10 months after their big sister, yikes!) and on the other side her cousin's daughter has twins. So through both my maternal grandparents but not too closely related,
-
@regberadaisy: Cousins and sisters - two sets of fraternal girl twins!
-
I have biological twin sisters.
-
My brothers are identical twins. That's it for both sides of the family.
-
DH is a fraternal twin (has a sister)
DH has twin fraternal girl cousins
Pretty sure DH also has grandparents on each side that were twins.
I seem to remember my grandpa (who died well before I was born) being a twin. -
My sister and I both have twins! However, twins don't really run in our family - infertility does. Our twins are IVF babies!
-
Nope. We should be having the first!
-
My grandmother is a twin.
-
I have twin brothers. My mom was over 35 when they were conceived and they're identical, so it's probably just a fluke.
-
Just mine.
They're IVF babies.
-
My brother and sister are fraternal twins!
-
My mom and aunt are fraternal twins, and two of their maternal uncles were twins. I think they may have been identical. On DH's side, his first cousin had fraternal twins, and there were at least one other set from his grandparents' generation. I figure with 4 sets of naturally conceived twins in the last 3 generations, we probably have a higher than average chance of having multiples with our next pregnancy. Oh boy!
-
My cousin has triplets!
-
I have twins skipping a generation on both side of my family.
None in SOs family. -
My great great grandmother had two sets of boy/girl twins.
-
We each have sets of fraternal cousins and DH is a multiple.
-
Yes! My maternal grandmother had twins, ( they did not survive) , my aunt had twins and one of my cousins has twins. DH's dad is a twin.
-
My sisters are fraternal twins and my grandmother found out she was supposed to be a twin when they discovered her fetus in fetu.
-
My cousin has a set of twin boys, my MIL is a twin.
-
My dad's mom had three sets of twins. She used some now-illegal fertility drugs though
-
I have a set of identical twin brothers. As far as I know that's it for both sides.
-
I can trace some of my family back to the 1700"a and there is not one single instance of twins! Though there were plenty of babies over age 40!
-
Not on my side, but my MIL is a twin.
-
My SIL has twins
-
Not on my side. On DH's side, his mom is a fraternal twin. Also his brother had triplets through IVF. But only two eggs were put in, so one split into identical twins.
-
My dad is a fraternal twin.
-
@CakeLady: Same here, MIL is a fraternal twin.
-
Both of my parents are twins!
-
Yep...
Mom's side: My cousin has twins
Dad's side: My grandmother is a twin, AND my grandfather is a twin
All fraternal
-
We have an insane number of fraternal twins on my Dad's side so I should have known that it I was likely to have some. My Dad has two sets if fraternal twins sibs. His younger sister had fraternal b/g twins and the girl went on to have her own set of twins. Now I am expecting twins too. We don't have any identicals though.
-
DH is a fraternal twin. His grandmother was a fraternal twin.
Fraternal twins run in the family and typically skip a generation.
They're IVF babies.
