So the husband and I were arguing about the chances of having twins again and the stats are quite interesting.
Most twins are fraternal so chances quadruple to 1 in 12 of having fraternal twins again!! Since the girls are identical, the chance of fraternal twins is 1 in 10,000. The chance of another set of identicals are 1 in 70,000. Whew! Then again, although it seems unlikely, you never know if God decides, "oh, you can handle it!"
The other interesting thing that I found was that the children of identical twins are genetically half siblings! And if two sets of identical twins marry, their kids will genetically be full siblings. New meaning to "brother from a different mother!"
