is it true that twins skip a generation . i am bigger than my other pregnancies at this stage .husband is twin

Answer 1

They do not necessarily skip generations, but any family history will give you a higher chance of twin pregnancy. Being a twin himself, your husband has a greater probability of producing twins. Being bigger is not really a sign on its own. Generally, women who have been pregnant before will have more muscle laxity in the abdomen (stretching due to previous pregnancies) and will show earlier. The only way to determine a twin pregnancy is by hearing two heartbeats, by doppler or stethescope, or by ultrasound.

Answer 2

Here`s a one for you all - allegedly the sex comes from the male & the amount from the female - so how come between me & my 3 brothers we have 3 sets of identical twins, 2 sets of girls & 1 set of boys with no history of twins in the family?? Oh & by the way my wife had a difficult (&large!!) pregnancy with three scans to be told it was a small baby with lots of water then "abracadabra" she was on the delivery table & out popped twin 2!!!

Answer 3

That's what I was told, but it never worked from what I seen. I have twin uncles. Jim and John. John had 2 kids, John and Paulette. Well, Paulette married a man named Benjie and Benjie has a twin sister. Paulette and Benjie would have been prone to having twins being that Paulette's dad was a twin, Benjie was a twin. She had 2 normal pregnancies. 2 kids not twins. One is 15 and the other is 12.

Answer 4

Yes twins do skip a generation. It would be unusual for you and your husband to have twins if your husband is a twin. Maybe someone in your grandmother's generation is a twin. If not, then you're probably not having twins unless it's an unusual situation.

Answer 5

Only fraternal twins are genetic and they only skip a generation if a man who carries a twin gene passes it down to his daughter who has twins. Your husband cannot produce eggs so he cannot have twins, but if you have a daughter, your daughter could have twins.

Answer 6

It only matters if twins run on the mothers side. Fraternal twins (non-identical) run in the Mother's genes and occur because the woman releases more than one egg a month on occasion. Identical twins are flukes and are not genetic.

Answer 7

I don't know. The only people who have twins in our family are my cousin Dennis and my daughter Holly. Maybe you should ask your husband, and see the doctor about a sonogram.

Answer 8

My sisters are twins and no one else in the family is a twin so it just depends on your genetics.

Answer 9

i had twins and absolutely no one else in my family had them. it;s just nature so the only way you'll know for sure is when you get an ultrasound.

but it's the woman who carries the twin gene. it has nothing to do with the mans side of the family. it's because you have an overactive egg producing gene.

Answer 10

dont know but two of my cousins have twins and both their partners have a twin. but then my sister's hubby is a twin and they've just had one baby boy.
