Whether or not a woman will have twins depends on the genes of her mother's side. If your mother had twins in her family, it is very likely that you will also get twins. In your case, there is an 80% chance that you will get twins. As Your mother was a twin and it runs in her family.

I agree with Aicha, around an 80% chance. I am a twin, and therefore I have an increased potential to give birth to twins some day. Genetics are complex, but it's certain you are carrying such a gene and are more likely than the average female to conceive twins.
