"I have identical twins boys. There are no other twins that I know of in my family. They were conceived when my husband and I were vacationing in the Smoky Mountains. We did a lot of hiking that week and our theory is that high elevation as well as the hiking caused the egg to split. Our doctor does not believe that there is any correlation, but we like to think this is what happened!" -- Melanie
