My grandmother’s siblings are boy/girl twins, my cousins are identical twins girls(my Aunt is not the blood relative) and dh and I have boy/girl twins. (All were conceived naturally.-I ALWAYS got that question from strangers. I was also always asked if my very clearly dressed boy/girl twins were identical.
) Off-hand, I know at least 6 other sets that my kids go to school with.
I’m curious as to what other people’s doctors told them regarding twins. Mine said fraternal twins are hereditary and are from a woman’s predisposition to release more than one egg at a time. He then said identical twins are more a fluke of nature, but when a particular woman’s body THINKS it’s supposed to split the fertilized egg, that increases the chances of that happening for that particular woman again.
And none of that “skips a generation” thing that people say. It was my great-grandmother who had twins and then me. But either of my daughter’s could possibly have the predisposition to release multiple eggs. Just curious.
