Did you guess you might have twins / family history of twins? - Page 2

Twins run in my dad's side of the family...My dad is a twin, and my husbands side of the family has two sets of twins...so either way, we kind of knew we were going to be blessed with twins. We were still shocked when we saw two sacs though...lol

I was pregnant with twins @ pregnancy no 1 but lost one very early on and then 17 months later I had fraternal twin girls. No history of twins anywhere on either side.

Guess I was just the lucky one!!

Having twins was a complete surprise. I don't know any twins from our family.

My OH's dad has an identical twin and i think somewhere further up (like his great gran or someone) had been a twin but the other had died at birth. thing is, im only 8 weeks and i have a prominant bump already and im constantly starving. i dont have much sickness though but a few people have commented i could be carrying twins. i asked the midwife and she said because the twins are on the fathers side my chances are no more increased for twins. what do other poeple think? my 1st scan is July 20th - AGES away!

I would say your bump is more than likely bloat. I'm pregnant with twins and didn't really start showing until a couple of weeks ago. Good luck though.

My Oh father is 1 of 11 and there are 3 sets of twins there and the 3 sets of twins have twins themselves and my side of the family theres 1 set of twins.

Do you think its possible for me to have twins?

I`ll know by tomorrow morning at 9 but be nice to think if I am or not.

My grandad is a twin, didn't expect to fall pregnant with twins as I have had 3 singletons! First set of twins since my grandad was born and he's 86.

I was very surprised, because we can't find any multiples anywhere on either family tree, we weren't using fertility drugs (actually, we were on birth control), and I haven't had hardly any symptoms of pregnancy besides fatigue. And yet here we are 12 weeks along and surprise! Twins!

Twins dont run in either of our families and we were using every kind of protection avaliable so I guess they were just meant to be
