Our daughter whent to a new doctor ( due to new health insurance that old doctor doesn't take) to have a pap test . New doctor says to her during the proceedure that she wants to get an ultrasound. Daughter is now worried. Dr. starts the ultrasound and has a worried look on her face, and asks daughter about her last period. 2 weeks was her reply. Daughter now is VERY WORRIED. Dr. says that there is a cancerous growth... no there are two growths. Daughter is ready to pass out. She is shown the ultrasound and indeed there are 2 growths in her uterus. One placenta and 2 growths both with heart beats = = IDENTICAL TWINS at about 14 weeks due to make their entrance into this world in March . Boys or girls , too early to tell. Daughter is mother of Grandson #1 and Grandaughter #1, so these will be grandkids #s 8 & 9.

Congratulations. My second grandkid, a boy this time, is due early February. Best of luck to your daughter and her double pregnancy.

Oh, that's so cool. Do twins run in your family at all?

That must have been a shock. Going from a pap test to being told you're going to have twins! Congrats!

My wife has a geneology book going back over 300 years with all progeny listed weather dead or alive. NOPE - not a single one. On my side ...Nope, not that I know of. Too, Our daughter is left handed, the first one in 4 generations on my wife's side. Identical twins occur when the zygote first starts it's cell division and one of the first cells split away to form 2 or more embryos. So ... luck of the draw of cell division ...

The other 6 grandkids don't approve of adding grandson #7 as well as grandkids # 8 & 9. All that means is much less budget from grandparents for Christmas , tooth fairy , and birthday gilts for them .

Oh Boy, I will never forget my nieces reaction when she was told she is having twins. LOL. (At least she knew she was expecting.) What a shock for your Daughter.
