A member asked:
If my gf dad had fraternal twins how likely will she have twins?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Twins: Having twins is generally an event that happens by chance. There is no hereditary basis for twins. Sometimes women on fertility drugs have increased chances of having twins. But just because a family member had twins does not mean you are at an higher odds for doing so yourself.
