My gf is pregnant and on her dad and mom side they've had twins in the family does that mean she will have twins?

Twins: There is about a 1% chance of any pregnancy resulting in twins. If the twins in the family are identical, her chance would we the same - about 1%. If the twins are non-identical, her chances are little bit higher, but not really much higher.
