Twins?

Just lighthearted but I'm 1dpo today and in the last 24 hours I've seen 3 sets of identical twins and just seen a set of twin lambs being born at the farm. Is it a sign? LOL

We don't have identical twins in the family so it would be a real shock!

When I was pregnant with second (via ivf) I'd been told my levels were high and it was either a very good pregnancy or twins (this was at 4 weeks). I had to wait till 6 weeks to be scanned. The day before the scan we went to a NT Gardens and saw 10 sets of twins! I couldn't decide if it was a message (and I'm not into that) or it was just because I was more aware of twins because of the pregnancy news. Any way I now have teenager twins who are great!

Omg! There's no reason why it would be twins as it's not IVF and they don't run in the family. I'll keep you posted ha!

Identical twins don’t run in families, it’s just fraternal (non identical) that do.

Oh! Well my FIL is a fraternal twin, but I think it only matters if it's on my side, right?

Yep @Ontheflipside_ :).

Bizarrely, I had a really strong feeling about having twins, and even said to my dd once about having twin sisters. No twins in our family…..but 2 years later I had boy/ girl twins.

good luck!

I'd twins don't run in families, only fraternal due to hyper ovulation.

Yep, realised this. Weird to see so many identical twins in such a short period of time though!
