A member asked:

My grandmother , cousin and sister have twins what are the chances that i will have twins aswell

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Twins: Twins are more common when there is a strong family history of twins, however, in general, spontaneous twins are very uncommon so the chances of having them is fairly small still.
