I am 10 weeks, 11 by ultrasound pregnant with fraternal twins, happended naturally. I didn't even know twins run in family. I was getting used to being pregnant again with 2 weeks later, at 7 weeks first ultrasound and there are two! Twins are number 4 and 5 kids for us. I have 15, 10 and 3 year old daughters and I will be 39 in January. Me of me, but I am getting used to it, doing better. My morning sickness has not been worse like I keep getting told it will be. Hope worse is not yet to come. But so far so good, especially since I have a history or miscarriage, lost 3. Got pregnant while on antibiotic, husband did use something! So I figure this is the Good Lords plan and he doesn't give us more than we can handle. Babies/children are miracles and gifts.

well this is my first time having twins and yes I did it on my own. I am happy because I don't have one set of them in my family.

I'd be one of those lucky wonders! We had our first child on birth control 2 yrs ago, and now--when we try to have one--we have two! I'm due some time in early Dec. and scared to death!

TWINS!! My husband got a vesectomy and since I have 4 kids I was well with that but after the divorce I became lucky to find a man as great as the one I have but we had no plans of having kids since he has 2 of his own. Well on my way into get on birth control Surprize yes I was pregnant. We felt God was in control and we would do our best to prepare. At 12 wks I fell and started to have alot of pain so I went to the hospital and as I was being preped for surgery "just in case" the DR. came back with the results of the sono and her exact words were "I know why you are having so much pain....Your having twins 2 perfectly formed 12wk twins" I was in such shock I told her she had the wrong room and for about 5 mins. I was overwhelmed especially since the twins run in his family and I had only been told of it in a joking manner a few days earlier! We are adjusting well and I am now 18wks now knowing they are identical boys and his 2 from before are girls so we figure god wanted to complete the family before we threw in the towel!

I am 21 weeks with twins. We too conceived naturally. We found out at 5 1/2 weeks thru u/s due to sever cramping. We are very excited, but I went through shock and denial. Have done alot of reading since then & found this is completely normal. I should find out on Monday what the sexes are. We are hoping for one of each, but as long as they are healthy, that is all we care about!!! Good luck to all of you out there in the same boat!!!

Wondering if anyone else experiences this. Pregnant with twins 12 weeks. Around 10 weeks had a dark brown discharge that cleared up, about a week later when raising off couch had what doc says most likely a ligament popped (I felt a hard pop high on side of belly) and I did same spotting same color. Seems like every other day I can have this, clears up then see a little again, no pain. Each time ultrasound looks good doc says. Just worrisome.

I got pregnant with Identical twin boys on my own, and they dont run in my family or my husbands.

i am also a "natural wonder".I cried so much at my first scan screaming "i want one,i want one not two"only to realise later what a blessing it was for.There is no twins from my side or his.The fact that it happened without planning and so naturally for me is really a blessing.i an now 27 weeks and is boy and a girl.good luck to all the preggie women.

I guess I am lol... The pregnancy was a huge surprise... finding 2 babies was an even bigger surprise. I have never taken any type of fertility drugs, no birth control, no twins in the family... they are just little blessing!! :)

Hi am 28y/o am pregnant with identical twins, naturally. I was suprised and cried at the first ultrasound. I was not expecting to get pregnant and to find out I had two put me over the top. I am 12 weeks preg. right now, and I am starting to exept and get a little more excited about the twins. I had also experienced some feelings of "not want two". Those feelings are beginning to leave as well. I have two other girls at home (3 & 2). I'm tired all the time partly because I am in college as well. Anyway, congrats to all of you, and hang in there.

Congratualtions to everyone. I am 12 weeks pregnant and just found out yesterday that I was having twins all naturally. I also cried my eyes at the u/s when she told me. I was happy, scared and shocked all at the same time. I have a 1 year old daughter and a very demanding job. I can relate to everyone who have people telling them how great and exciting. I am scared out of my mind, especially due to complications with last one.

I am currently 10 week s pregnant with twins and they were conceived naturally. It was a complete shock to both me and DH but we have come to terms with it. I already have a 6 year old son who is thrilled. The morning sickness is kicking my butt and I don't know how much more of it I can take. Is anyone else having bad morning sickiness?


Michele - October 13th, 2005 6:06 PM

Before my first ultrasound I joked with my mother-in-law that I wanted twins...in order to only be pregnant once. Well...I got my wish...fraternal twins. Totally natural and with no history of twins in my family at all. I was a little scared at first, but now I'm glad that they'll have instant playmates/siblings.
