I am wondering... I have heard lots of conversations about twins in your family and who should expect twins there after. How does this work? If my grandmother had twin siblings on my mothers side, my great great grandmother had twin siblings on my dads side and my husbands mother is a twin... Who is to expect twins now? Me, my brother or sister, my kids? My husband or his sisters or our kids or some other family member? How do you track twins that run in your family?

My sister is married to a twin. They live in my home country and have four children. It is likely that one of or more of their children will have a twins when they are grown up. Twins in a family can miss a generation and come back in the next one. There are two sorts of twins, one is made for one egg that splits in half that would mean identical twins. In the other case two eggs mean non-identical twins. It can't be worked out who will have twins until that pregnancy happens.

Ok so its more likely that it will be every other generation? So can you help me do the math? If my great grandmother had twin siblings but nobody there after had twins, how would that work or why hasn't anyone else?
Since my grandmother had twin siblings then my mom, aunts and uncles didn't have twins. So her grandchildren are likely to have twins?
And last, my husbands mom is a twin so him or his sisters or brother wouldn't have twins but her grandchildren could?
I just want to make sure I understand this correctly. lol.
Thank you for your response.
