It is estimated that identical twins with Down Syndrome occur at the rate of 1 or 2 in a million pregnancies and non-identical twins at the rate of 14 or 15 million. 


We have always wondered whether we would have twins as my husband’s mum is an identical twin and I’ve also got twins in my family back a generation or two. At one or two points we have even thought we might enjoy the challenge of twins... I’d pondered having a third but my husband has suggested that it might just end up with us having 4 kids and I’m not sure we fancy that parent:kid ratio to be honest...
