Is it really true that twins, or multiple births, that were conceived naturally will always skip a generation?

For those of you wondering, no, there are no twins in my family, and I am done having my kids. I was just wondering out of curiousity's sake, that's all.!

that's what they say. However let me tell you. On my mom's side triples run in my generation and twins on my dad side. I just had one baby boy. Not triples or twins. My sister has 4 girls none are triples or twins. So if ya worried about that. Don't be its a small chance it'll happen to you.

Glad you asked the question cuz I'm a twin and very interested in hearing the answers. I have heard also that twins skip a generation but never had actual proof.
Also, since I'm a twin and my bf's father is a twin..what are my chances?

So they say. My Aunt gave birth to twins twice. There were no twins in our family (that we new of). Her first set of twins were identical twins. Her second the same. I gave birth to identical twin girls. So the twin births in our family was a fluke, or, the every other generation theory is an Ol' wives tale.

No, it's not correct. I have a freind who is a twin, her mother is a twin, and grandmother's sister is a twin. No skipping of generations there.

I thought the same thing until some people that I knew didn't have twins after there parents were twins. So it just happens when
its meant to be.

Not necessarily. It is common for a twin to give birth to a set of twins.

Not always...i mean, it isnt a medical fact that is guaranteed to occurr, but it is true that this phenomenon does often happen.
