âCan you imagine if we had another set of twins?â joked Gavin Robinson, upon finding out that his wife, Liz, was pregnant.
A few short weeks later, the couple heard these words for the second time in two years: âCongratulations! Itâs twins!â
Both Liz and Gavin were in disbelief. It wasnât that long ago that they were naming two other little ones. In August 2018, Liz delivered Thalia and Champion, a fraternal set of girl and boy twins. While twins run on both sides of the family, both Liz and Gavin were astounded by a second pair.
Two sets of twins in two years? What were the odds? Many experts say it is nearly impossible to quantify the odds of having two sets of twins because of the number of variables. With that said, according to data collected by the Centers for Disease Control in 2019, about 3.2% of live births in the United States were twins and we also know having one set of multiples raises the chances of having multiples again.
