Twins or More Just when we thought having one baby was tricky enough, mums to multiples often have extra challenges with two or more babies of the same age. If you are a mum to twins or more, this is where you can exchange experiences and support with others.

I went to school with a family who had 1 set of triplets, 1 set of twins and one single child. I believe they were all naturally conceieved (this family was a bit of a gossip item when they arrived at my school, lol).

i have a set of twins
my SIL has two sets and lost a 3rd set- she has also gone on to have 2 singletons as well-she is a twin herself as well. They said to her after she had conceived three sets that most likely all other pg would be twins- but the last two that i know of have been only one at a time!

my DH great grandma had 3 sets as well
my grandma only had one set
cousins, aunties and even 2nd cousins on both sides of my DH family have all had twins as well
the genetic link to twinning is amazing and very strong!
its really strange when someone has one baby at a time in our families lol
my twins thought and assumed that everyone had two babies at a time until I had to explain that it wasnt the norm for most families.
We were told that it was a 1 in 4 chance after one set and a 50% chance after two sets and even higher after 3 sets
Good luck!!!
