What're the chances..?
my fiance mentioned to me once upon a time, that twins run in both sides of his family. his sister said that they were overdue for a set, and ever since then, all of his relatives that have children, have not had twins. what're the chances i will have twins? is it possible with every pregnancy no matter the history? if its a stupid question, i apologize.
i feel like i should everything there is to know about pregnancy because i have a uterus, but i dont, honestly.... thanks in advance!

Not a stupid question! And definitely don't feel like you should know everything about pregnancy because you're female. TTC and pregnancy have a HUGE learning curve and we've all been in that clueless spot at one point or another. Totally no stupid questions!!
Fraternal twins can have a genetic aspect, but it would only come into play if twins were common on YOUR side. Since fraternal twins result from the mother releasing two eggs, you'd have to have the genes to make you more likely than normal to release two eggs in one month. Identical twins can happen at any time to anyone. It's just a random splitting of a fertilized egg and there haven't been any studies that show any sort of genetic aspect that makes it more likely to happen.

 When you have kids, your daughters would have an increased chance of twins (I'm assuming the twins that run in his family are fraternal?), but fraternal twins on his side wouldn't increase your chances.

to the others. THey are aboslutely correct. His family history of twins will not affect your chances of having fraternal twins.
