So my bf and I have been throwing around the idea of having a baby. I'm a bit concerned that if we do get pregnant we might end up having twins. His father has identical twin brothers, and has cousins who are twins. My bf also has cousins who are twins on his father's side of the family.

Do twins run through a specific genetic line more than others - such as the father's or the mother's? What are the increased odds if there are at least four sets of identical twins in the last two generations? Does anyone know?

I'm perfectly fine with having twins, but if the odds are that much higher considering the family history, i'm much more likely to hold off until we can get a bit more financially stable rather than spin the wheel and take a chance.

Thanks for any help you can give.
