Will you have twins since your grandmother was a twin?

It is possible but it is almost impossible to tell. However, the chances of having twins, if your parents had twins without the use of fertility drugs, is greater than if they only had single births. There are old "wives tales" or "myths" about twins, such as that they usually skip a generation. For instance, your mother had twins, so your children (or another one of your mothers daughters, children) will have twins. There is no scientific basis for this.
