And I believe that DH said there are twins about every other generation on that side of the family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-multiples-in-your-family/page/2#post-2124964 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 08:11:56 +0000 WinterBee 2124964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: My great-uncle has twins, but that is it on my side. Not sure if they are fraternal or identical because we're not super close with that side.<br /> My H has twin sisters, they are identical. They are the only twins on his side.<br /> I doubt we'll have twins, and I hope we don't. One sounds hard enough haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-multiples-in-your-family/page/2#post-2124678 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 19:22:48 +0000 Dandelion 2124678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have great uncles that are twins.

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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-multiples-in-your-family#post-2124593 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 17:48:13 +0000 NurseDMB 2124593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep...</p> <p>Mom's side: My cousin has twins</p> <p>Dad's side: My grandmother is a twin, AND my grandfather is a twin</p> <p>All fraternal </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-multiples-in-your-family#post-2124578 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 17:22:32 +0000 jedeve 2124578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my parents are twins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-multiples-in-your-family#post-2124577 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 17:17:20 +0000 youboots 2124577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CakeLady: Same here, MIL is a fraternal twin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-multiples-in-your-family#post-2124567 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 17:02:55 +0000 Shutterbug 2124567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad is a fraternal twin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-multiples-in-your-family#post-2124538 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 16:10:48 +0000 Mamasig 2124538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not on my side.

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.
