15 And Pregnant And Need Advise
Posted: 05-12-06 03:15am

Hi i'm 15 have a 2 yer old son and have just found out i'm pregnant again. I have spoken to my doctor and he has organised a scan as I cannot remeber when my last period was but I am really big already my tummy has grown alot and I am worried as when I was pregnant before it was twins but I lost one so thats why I only have my son.
What are the chances of this being a twin pregnant to?
This is my belly.

Wow. Baby #2 already! You can only have identical twins if that gene runs in your family. But, there's a small chance in every pregnancy of maternal twins.

it's fraternal twins which are genetic - identical twins are a freak of nature (in the best possible way) as it is when the egg divides into two embryos then continues to develop.

Identical twins being inherited is an old wices tale.
