Third generation of twins born into same family Ethan and Eilidh were born last week to the delight of their parents Derek and Ashley Whitton Mrs Whitton has twin sisters Brogan and Robyn, both 21 Her mother Jacqueline Glennie also has a twin sister Elizabeth McKenzie Two years ago a physic told Mrs Whitton she would give birth to twins The chance of it happening is 20,000 to one. But a family has beaten the odds and welcomed a third generation of twins into their family. Ethan and Eilidh were born last Wednesday to the delight of their parents Derek and Ashley Whitton, who both 30. Ethan and Eilidh Whitton with Elizabeth McKenzie (front row left) and her sister Jacqueline Glennie (front row right) and Jacqueline's daughters, Brogan Glennie (back row left) with twin sister Robyn Glennie (back row right) Mrs Whitton has twin sisters, Brogan and Robyn, both 21, while her mother Jacqueline Glennie, 52, also has a twin sister Elizabeth McKenzie completing the third generation. Although she was shocked to discover she was expecting twins too, Mrs Whitton revealed it had been 'predicted' to happen. Just two years ago a physic told her she would follow the same fate as her mother and grandmother giving birth to her own two little bundles of joy. She said: 'It's very unusual for three generations of a family to have twins and it was a complete shock to us, I would never have believed it if you'd told me this a year ago. 'I actually went to see a psychic two years ago before I was pregnant and she said to me that I would have twins and I was just like "uh huh, OK" because I don't really believe in all that psychic stuff. Bundles of joy: Eilidh Whitton (left) and her brother Ethan (right) who are the third generation of twins in one family When I did actually fall pregnant, at seven weeks I had quite bad morning sickness so my doctor sent me for an early scan. They found two heartbeats in the scan and that was the first time I found out I was having twins. We all had a good laugh about it - the psychic was right all along. After the scan, Mrs Whitton, from Dundee, Scotland, went straight to her mother's house to tell her the news. She said: 'We went down to my mum's house without telling her the news about the twins and we got the scans out and she didn't realise at first. 'She said "oh, you've got two pictures here," but we just looked at her and then it all clicked into place, she couldn't believe it. Everyone laughed when they found out, although my grandmother actually got quite emotional. Ethan, who weighed 5lb 5oz at birth, and 6lb 10oz Eilidh were born at at Ninewells Hospital, in Dundee. But, although they have settled in at home, Mrs Whitton admits they may have to find a bigger home in the near future and has already traded her small car for a larger model. She said: 'It's been lovely having twins as they have been absolutely brilliant - they are so well behaved, I can't believe it. Cute: Baby Ethan Whitton (left) and sister Eilidh Whitton who were born last week in Dundee 'The thing I'm most looking forward to is family holidays, so we can get everyone together and in fact we're going to be having a huge Christmas celebration at Forbes of Kingennie, just outside of Dundee. 'There will be 14 of us staying in a lodge on Christmas Eve and Christmas night and it's quite simply because none of us have big enough houses to hold that number of people. 'However, this will cause a lot of changes in our life and we've already had to trade in our Fiat Punto and now we've got a Nissan Note, just so that we've got more room. 'But my mum's been fantastic and my two sisters are being really good aunties. To be honest though, the twins are behaving so well at the moment and are in a great routine. The support has been really good as everyone is taking a very active role. It might have something to do with so many twins in the family. We're all very close.' Bookmakers William Hill said the odds of three successive generations of twins was 20,000 to 1. A spokesman said: 'The chances of three generations of a family having twins is extremely low and we would have to give odds of 20,000 to one on that happening. It would be the biggest price on our website at the moment.
