my twins were naturally conceived, 8 weeks early and non-identical. this 1 or 2 was also natural. i think i would find life with another 2 difficult as the boys will only be 1 year old. im chuffed either way though

Depending on if multiple births run in your family or if you are on "fertility drugs" then it is possible!
However, if this was a "fluke" that you got twins before, your chances are the same this time (very rare).
I do have good friends that I grew up with that are identical twins (boys) and they have identical twin sisters.... No history and no drugs in their family!
Good Luck! Congratulations!!!!

The chances of having another multiple birth are higher than average. If you have non-identical twins already, you probably released 2 eggs so chances are you could do it again. At least this time round you know what to expect with 2 babies. I didn't have morning sickness with my twins until I was 17 weeks. p.s. it gets so much easier, my boy/girl twins are 7 years old now and very close.

OMG! And I thought getting pregnant when my twin boys were 10 months old was bad! Bless you! My second pregnancy was a singleton-thank goodness. However, I do know a girl that had 2 sets of twin boys! You should find out soon enough if you are having another set-I would be anxious to know as well.

If you have had a set of twins already then your chances of having another set are increased to 1 in 12 or four times greater then an average woman.

its possible to have twins again, its really weird that youre due on the same exact day! if twins is a genetic thing in yoru family i would say it could be likely but if you used fertility drugs the first time and didnt this time i would say.. probably not..... you are very brave to want another set of twins after having 5 month old babies!!!! hope you get what you want.

Are your boys fraternal or identical? If they're identical, your chance of having another set are the same as everyone else. If they're fraternal, your chances of having another set are increased. I forget the actual number, but its easily refrenced. I have identical 16 month old girls and am currently pregnant with a singleton! Best of luck

you had them once you can have them again!! If you are over 35 years old, have twins in your family, or use folic acid regularly, you can definitely. good luck!
