what's the odds on having twins twice in a row?

Question

Answer 1

If twins run in your family, then you have a 50% chance. Just be thankful its only twins and not more than that.

Congrats on the 2nd set

Answer 2

1 in 33 chances of having twins.

While identical twins happen by chance and occur at the same rate throughout the world, there are several factors that influence your chances of having fraternal twins:

+ Heredity: If twins run in your family, you're more likely to have a set yourself. Your partner's family history doesn't appear to affect your odds of having twins.

+ Age: The older you are, the higher your chances of having fraternal twins or higher multiples. Some studies indicate that this may be due to the fact that older women tend to produce higher levels of ovulation-stimulating hormones, but other studies do not support the connection.

+ Race: Twins are more common than average in African Americans and less common in Hispanics and Asians.

+ Nutrition: Being well nourished increases your chances of having twins and being mal-nourished decreases your chances.

+ Number of pregnancies: The more pregnancies you've had, the greater your chances of having twins. In fact, by your fourth or fifth pregnancy, your likelihood of having twins is four times higher than it was for your first pregnancy.

+ History of twins: Once you have a set of fraternal twins, you're twice as likely to have another set in future pregnancies.

Answer 8

God blessed you twice times 2.
I hope that you have lots of help...and support.

2 sets of twins only 1 year apart is pretty amazing, but not all that unusual...if you have family genetics for this.

you didn't say what your first set were...fraternal or identical. fraternal usually happens when you are older, as the body is producing more than one egg at ovulation.

may the Lord bless you and your new family to be.
