my twins were born 2 years ago and i would love another baby in about 4 years time i have already got 3 other children and would like to have a nice even number 6
i work full time so i dont have benefits (thats for all the anti benefit ppl out there who slate poor single mothers dont slate ppl when you dont know the half of whats going on)
any way let me get to the point of my question what do you think of the odds of me having another set of twins
i wouldnt mind but 1 would be nice

depends on many factors...
were your last set identical? these are not genetic so this won't up the chances but if they were fraternal then yes you have a good chance.
are you over 35? This ups your chances as you start to release more eggs as you get older
and the last factor is have you had more than 3 pregnancies which is yes so this ups your chances.
A friend has identicals then 18months later found out she was pregnant with fraternal twins so anything can happen and you need to be prepaired for it.
Good luck

Well i am a mum of 8 and i have a set of twins...I want another 2 to make 10 but i would not want onther set of twins. Mine are nearly 4 and believe me it gets harder as they grow....The question that you should be asking is would you cope with another set of twins...You must remember that in all this you are getting older and things get harder to deal with....Have as many as you wish and dont care what others say.......But you have as much chance of concieving twins as you did when you had them.........

i admire Jude Steven and Sebastian John. for women, Evelyn Grace and Annabel faith. I additionally like Esme and Isla for twin females, and Jonathan and David for boys. For B/G twins, i think of Isaac and Isabelle may be cute. Congrats!

Not sure of the exact odds but they do increase both after having had one set of twins and with age....
We have two sets of twins with a 4 year gap between them. We wish we had insured against it....
ETA Just found this site http://multiples.about.com/cs/funfacts/a/oddsoftwins.htm - it gives you lots of the sort of stats you are looking for :)

Ask your Ob/Gyn or go searching the web.
Good luck as another mother of twins...

You have to look at a history of mutlipull births on your side of the family and also weather your partner has a history of mutlipull births in his that will tell you how likey it is to happen

nothing is certain but you must realise theres every chance you would have twins again as you fall into the high risk category ...
Good Luck x
