This is a family question.

Do you have any multiple births in your family such as twins, triplets etc. Are you a part of one.

The only multiple birth in my family is my sisterâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s twins who are girl/boy. I remember carrying the baby boy home. They are named Tony and Carolyn. Guess who had the curly hair, yep it was the boy. Altho they are twins, they look nothing like each other, they both look like each of the two older brothers, go figure

The only one I can think of is my cousin Mike. He and his wife had twins (a boy and a girl) on their first go round.

No births of that type but my cousin married a twin. He was friends with the sisters (identical twins) during high school --and got close with one. Everyone's now in their 40's

I have a twin aunt and uncle. He ended up about 6'3" and she was about 5'5". Unfortunately my aunt died about 5 years ago. Uncle (67yrs) is still going strong and about to move to be closer to his daughter and her family and help with their business.

Going back into family history I have found a set of twins on my paternal side. (Only one seemed to have survived to adulthood. )

On both sides of my family there are twins. On my father's side he has twin sisters, my great grandfather was a twin and he had another set of twin siblings (a boy and a girl) and on my mom's side there are twin great-great aunts. I think on my father's side there are some cousins that have twins. I guess you can say there are a lot of twins in my family!!

I had twin maternal great-aunts, Eula and Lula. I often kid my Mom, telling her that another set of girls could have been named Beulah and Tallulah.

I'm only aware of one set of twins -- cousins on my mother's side, boy/girl -- well, they've long since ceased to be boy/girl
, but you get the picture

2 of my mom's cousins (that I know of) have twins. I think they might be identical, though, so it's not genetic like fraternal twins are. She always teases me by saying that I'd probably have twins if I ever get pregnant. I don't know if that would be good or bad. When I was little I thought having twins would be awesome. Now I just think it would be exhausting.

My aunts are twins (my mothers younger sisters). My oldest daughter was supposed to be a twin but I lost it in the 3rd month of my pregnancy.

My Nannie had twin brothers. Other than that, I'm not sure if we have any other twins in my family.

Not at all, unheard of in my family. I wouldn't mind having healthy twins someday, simply because if I have kids I want more than one child, but really dread even thinking of through two pregnancies, much less one.
