Hi i am just being nosy i really would love to have twins but just wondered if i had to hav twins in the family my side to have them???

My OH has twins in his family but have heard thats it has to be the womans side to have twins??

it does normaly have to run down the womans side,so the chance is slim,i have quite a few twins on my side of the family but there is also twins in my OH family,its hard work but its very worth it,good luck

Nope. I have ID twins which are non-hereditary. We don't have any twins on either side of the family either xx

Identical are luck - anyone can have them.
Non-ID run in the family - it's on my Dad's side and I have two non-id girls x

There are no twins in either of our families but I have non id boys. As everyone kept saying,they've got to start somewhere! x

Me too - No twins in the family (as far as we know) and I have non id boys who are now 11 months!!!

Its difficult to know if twins are in the family as scans weren't around then, my mum had a bleed early on, so I may have been a twin, we will never know though...

Any1 can have ID twins it purely down to mothernature & luck!

We're expecting non-id twins through fertiltiy treatment, but we do also have twins on both sides of the family apparently.

no twins in our families...
i had one daughter with a 6 week bleed...so she might have been a twin. i really think she was.

my second pregnancy was twins - non id.
boy and girl

I have ID twin girls!
There are Non-ID twins on my mams side but it doesnt matter for ID its just luck as to whether the egg splits or not! :) My cousin's dad is a twin (my mams brother) her husband is a twin and her MIL is a twin she has had 4 babies and none of them are twins she really wants them too and i got them on my first go it really is luck! Hard work, exhausting but absolutely worth it hope you get them! :) x
