Yup I read Tysmummy's comments exactly the same as Alia explained above!
No advice here as I only have the one, but good luck with whatever decision you make in regards to having more children. Everything happens for a reason in life, if you're meant to have twins you will in the end.
And I'm sorry to hear of your loss.
Take Care

Ahhhh gottacha now  I think it was how ya worded it that caused confusion lol.
I guess if its in your family then there is the possiblitly of it happening, but then, you would be shocked to see two bubbas at first but then you would get used to it 
Lots of ladies on here had twins for their first pregnancy, that would be so hard, having two wee babys to look after when your learning.
I think you would be fine Just think of it like this way, some ladies cant have kids at all so to have twins is such a blessing.

i know where you are coming from too....my cousin in line next to me in gene pool is a twin, as are her other brother and sister...yep two sets!!! and mum (same lineage) also has twins and triplets (poss twin plus one) in her line...
so when i talk about twins people think i am nuts too...but there is a definate high chance for us...however with my uterus I will never be able to carry twins so if there is ever two to start with there wont be at end...and i cannot change that either....  I hear where you are at....on the twin thing!

LIke everyone else has said, you cope just coz you have to. I didn't get a choice, I got twins (and mine are random, there are none in the family) and I just have to get on with it.
I do think that people overestimate the genetic connection with twins tho. Fraternal twins are carried down the maternal line so if your mother has twins or your sister has twins you are at increased risk, and of course if you are a twin yourself, but it doesn't "skip generations", that's just an old wives tale, and if there are twins in your partners family you don't have an increased chance of having twins as *you* need to have the gene to release two eggs.
Or you could end up with identical twins like mine which are a complete freak of nature!

Like others have said if you are blessed with twins you will cope because you don't have any choice really.
Althought my 2 aren't twins I had a good 5 months of being woken 1-2 hourly and looking back I'm amazed I made it out sane (well half sane lol) but at the time it wasn't that bad and it was one day at a time stuff. Now they play so well together and one sleeps through so its really starting to pay off.
I remember someone saying (maybe Tishy?) that one baby takes up 100% of your time so how can 2 take up any more.

That was me and I still believe it. The house is a mess but the babies are happy most of the time
With 3 under 3 you get 240(?) hours home help.
There is always the support of the Multiple birth club to fall back on too.
