Do twins have to run in the family for me and my mate ti have a twin birth?

1/70: The chance of having twins is about 1/70. Infertility treatments increase the risk. Taking care of twins can be wonderful and fun but remember these are very high risk pregnancies with more potential for harm compared to being pregnant with one.
