Twins or More Just when we thought having one baby was tricky enough, mums to multiples often have extra challenges with two or more babies of the same age. If you are a mum to twins or more, this is where you can exchange experiences and support with others.

Default Have any twins had twins?

I am wondering if anyone out there is a twin or knows a twin who has been lucky enough to have twins!

I am fraternal twin, and fraternal twins are in my family (although they normally skip a generation). I was interested if any twins have had twins??

Thanks

Thanks Ladies!

I would love to have twins and wasn't sure if this was common... but apparently it could happen (of course I would be happy with a single pregnancy too)!

Imagine having two sets of twins - that family certainly would be busy!

I am an ID twin and I had ID twin boys. It was a shock to us and to my obstetrician!! My twin sis was terrified as she was preg at the same time, but she ended up with a singleton.

Hi, my DH's cousin's wife.
She is a fraternal twin & she had identical twin girls nearly 8 months ago.
They reckon frat having identical is a very slim chance.

I also have a friend who was pg with twins, but lost one at 5 months. Her sister had twins & her DD had twins in January. All fraternal, so no skipping of generations there.
