Pregnancy Info HOME

I am 30 weeks and 4 days pregnant with identical twin boys. I got pregnant with twins naturally and on birth control. I was not planning on having children for another 2-3 years. I have twins on my mother's side and my husband is an identical twin. Oh well, this is my blessing from God and I have finally accepted the fact that in 4 weeks I will be the mom of two little boys.

Me too...7 weeks pregnant with twins. A total shock...I am 35 with 13 and 10 year old girls...so there were no baby plans for me. I haven't been pregnant in almost 11 yrs and this. WOW!!! Twins...I am still in shock. I was fine when my doctor told me that I was pregnant but twins. Everyday I am having feelings of not wanting twins. I have gone from having 2 children to 4...over night.

all natural right here! :) I carry the gene obviously.. my maternal grandfather was a twin and his mother actually gave birth to 4 sets of twins, yikes.. I read/heard it skips generations, but is possible each time. well, I'm 22w1d with twin girls :) how far along are u? do u know what you're having yet? my EDD is 12/16, but with twins, everyone knows they don't go that far.. dontcha think they ought to make a more predictable edd?

YaY! all natural right here! :) well I carry the gene obviously because my maternal grandfather was a twin.. his mother actually gave birth to 4 sets of twins (yikes) and my maternal grandmothers sister has twins too.. I read/heard it skips generations, but is possible each time. the strange part though, is that I'm having identical girls, so that one was just my luck eh? lol I'm 22w1d so far :) my EDD is 12/16, but with twins, everyone knows they don't go that far.. dontcha think they ought to make a more predictable edd? lol- same here.. accident and then get twins. go figure, huh? lol.. its my moms first grandchildren and my grandmothers first great-grandchildren, so everyone is absolutely thrilled and the whole family is making sure I've got all my bases covered. what would we do without em? I love em to death. oh brother, I do already feel like I'm gonna pop, I'm wicked nervous about how much bigger I'm going to get.. and I seriously hope to give a natural birth, I really don't want my membranes stripped it sounds so painful! not to mention, I don't want the hep-b shot immediately after birth unless they're at high risk for it (so far, they're not).. there's so much going through my mind right now and being 22w1d along, I feel somewhat terrified of the labor itself.. feels like time is creeping up on me and going by so fast.. its a bit scary. argh, I'm typing a lot here.. lemme leave it at this and check back later, lol oh, I'm up ALL night because I can't get comfortable (my back) and the girls are jumping around in there between midnight and 4am *argh* anyone else with this issue? lol

I'm 23 Weeks pregnant with Twins, they have their own sac but have a large sac round the both of them, they also share a placenta. Can anyone tell me what to expect, what sort of pregnancy am I having??

I'm having twins, it was all natural, I'm just confused as to what sort of pregnancy I'm having, the twins are in their own sac but have a large sac round the both of them, the share a placenta. Can you shed any light??

I am pregnant with twins, but they are in the same sac, sharing the same placenta! The doctor said that makes them identical twins! But he also said that they can have there own sac but share the same placenta, and that also makes them identical! I hope that has helped you!!! I wish all the best of luck! :))

sorry i meant to mention that my pregnancy is called monoamniotic twins, thats because they are in the same sack! It makes it a really high risk pregnany because the cords can get tanggled! Your doctor should told you all about the kind of pregnany that you are having, as all twin pregnancies are higher risk!!!

do you guys know how long you'll go? My EDD is 12/5 but the longest I'll go is 39 weeks. Doesn't that seem LONG?! If I have an Amnio and it proves the babies are healthy, I can have a C-section at 38 but if I don't pop before then, I have to wait unitl week 39! Crazy.. and I'm only 24 now :)

8/21/05 pregnant with identical twins dont know there sex yet find out on 8/24/05 all natural dont run in my family that much maybe twice that i know of

I'm 22, this is my first pregnancy. I found out by an early sonogram, at just 6 1/2 weeks, that I am having twins, naturally, as well. They don't run in my family, so it was a huge surprise!! Good luck with yours!

I am 25wks preggo with boy/girl twins. I had to trace my family back to find out if they run in the family. Sometimes you find it where you least expect it. My grandpa's sister says that the gene ran down her side rather then his but here I am. Never expected it. No warning. TWINS! I already have a 5yr old boy at home too. Guess the timing is perfect since he starts kidergarten on the 6th. I won't have to chase all three around. I blame the twin pregnancy on the fact that the hubby was in Iraq for 13months... Came home in Feb. so we both could relax and BOOM! Right away. He was excited as soon as we found out it was twins while I was crying and saying there is no way I could handle two at once. Took awhile but now I am just as excited as everyone else. One more thing to make me and my family SPECIAL! Congrats to all you "Natural Twin Mommies". We were chosen. :<)

Congratulations to everyone expecting!! I am also expecting natural twins. I am 29 weeks with identical girls. This will be the first set of twins on my side of the family, and my husbands uncle has a set of identical twins, other than that not sure. We were very shocked, I have a 5 year old daughter and a 3 year old daughter so my hands are going to be very full. I am not so worried about caring for the babies, but how I am going to manage my time with the other two children. They are still young and need me. I experienced a miscarriage in October 05 and we wanted to try one more time and VOILA twins. What was supposed to be one boy, turned into 2 girls. I couldn't be happier though. My husband may feel a little out numbered but he will survive. Well good luck, I will keep checking back

I am natural! I am five weeks along. I am very nervous though because one sac is much larger than the other and a yolk sac only shows in one. Been reading a lot about the vanishing twin syndrome and it is scaring me to death!
