how common is it to have twins? it is true twins skip a generation? my boyfriend and his brother are fraternal twins.…

Twins are more likely to have twins. I have a friend who had twin girls 8 years ago and had another set of twin girls last year.

identical twins are dad's genes.

faternal twins would be in his mother's genetics, not his father's, therefore the fact he is a faternal not effecting your chances as a couple. let that not fool you though, as mine and my husband's twins and spontaneous... true blessing. no twins on either side!

Having twins strictly has to do with a gene you'd get from your side of the family and if I remember correctly it'd be from your dad's side.

I always thought having twins would be fun and cute.

twins run strongly in both me and my husbands families. Hell he is a twin himself. I had my son and now we are thinking with our luck we only want three kids so we will have a second and then go to have a third and end up with twins for a total of four kids lol

me and boyfriend are twins plus my dad is a triplet I am only have one baby .. but the second time around may be different lawd!

Yes it has to be on the moms side. :)

I've heard it has to run on mom's side of the family not dad's. I was thinking the same thing when I asked the dr she told me it has to run on mom's side of the family.

My husband family has twins on his side but they do skip generations so its possible. You have a 50/50 chance but you will find out @stacykay
