Can somebody be predisposed to giving birth to twins?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Familial predisposition to multifetal pregnancies is well known. African-american women are generally more prone to twins than other racial groups. Folic acid and prenatal vitamins preconceptionally also increase twinning.
