I just always thought it would be awsome to have a twin brother.........or any brother for that matter lol.

My grandmother had fraternal twins...on her 16th pregancy! Yes, you heard me, 16th! She has 17 children total, and her very last pregnancy was twins. So, in a nutshell, it is not very common. The ability to have twins actually skips a generation, so if your grandmother carried twins, as mine did, your mother would probably never, but you very well could. I am on my fourth (And last) pregnancy, and have not had twins. Thank goodness! I'm not looking to keep up with my grandmother! :)

I have boy/girl fraternal twins and I believe they are the most common type of fraternal twins. I'm not sure what the odds are but twins are not uncommon by any stretch.

I don't know numbers but I know its more common to have one of each than two of the same....fraternal twins is easier than identical twins. Not that anytime there are 2 of the same sex they are always identical....anyway, I like to ramble....

It is not that common. I have twins one boy and one girl. I was amazed when they told me that i was having one of each.
