    Hi sorry to gatecrash but i have twins in my side of the family on both sides and have been told that thats an old wives tale!

    My mom's sister has identical twins. My dad's sister has identical triplets. I'm expecting non identical twins.

    Hiya, non-id twins are hereditary, but I've been told it can skip generations. My friend's mum is a non-id twin, as was (my friend's) great-grandmother, so her mother's grandmother. But my friend is not a twin nor does she have twin siblings (though does have three brothers!) However she is very likely to have non-id twins herself.
    Hope that makes sense?
    As others said before me, ID twins are totally random, it can happen to anyone! Me included, lol

    I'm having the first set on non identical twins in my family. There are none in my hb's family either.
