I have fraternal triplets who are all boys which is rarer than mixed gender.

Im not sure, but non identical twins are more common then identical ones i think? Identical twins will be the same gender, As non identical ones have a chance at being different genders aswell as the same. Just don't get your hopes up, its pretty hard to have twins without gentic help ect..<br><b>References : </b><br>17 year old mum, my mum has been pregnant twice with twins (still borns) Twins on my dads side, Aunty had twins, My partners mum has had 2 sets of twins and his dads sister is a twin.
