365 Days of Twinipedia - Day 55

Day Fifty-five of Twinipedia:

Fact #55
I did not know this and I think if I had known it prior to having kids, I may have thought twice about getting pregnant.  I was pretty scared of having twins. Well, actually I was afraid of a twin pregnancy. I think having twins would be way cool.  

Me and Becca age 2.  I am on the left, Becca is on the right!  Fraternal babes gettin' clean!

Did you know that if the mother is herself a fraternal twin, the chances of having twins increases about five-fold (5 times great - wow!  Who knew.)
