Hi I’m 5 weeks pregnant tomorrow I have 5 year old twins & a 2 year old what are the chances of twins again? I would love for this to happen I’ve been feeling sick and actually been sick weeing loads and tired. As I remember from twins before I was sick all the time and super tired. I will need to wait until my scan to actually find out I know lol

Are they identical or fraternal? If identical I imagine the chance is exactly the same as everyone else’s, if fraternal and you have hyperovulation in your family your chances could be as high as 1 in 17 (or so google says!)

I'm sure it's hard to wait! Good luck. I know lots of people who have multiple sets of multiples...

I had twins (lost at 19 weeks) in January this year and am now 22+3 with twins again. They say once you've had twins or multiples once then you're 4 times more likely to have twins or multiples again in the future. I don't know what the exact statistics are though. However many babies you're having, good luck!

PS. It's nice to know having twins wasn't so stressful it put you off having any more children, lol

If you have fraternal twins I think the chance of multiples again is 1 in 12 (I am currently 15 weeks with twins and have been googling this a lot!)
