Hi, I am 20 weeks pregnant and we just found out on the 24th of July that we are having twin boys. Unfortunately they said they couldn't tell us if they were identicle or not. I guess they said they could of at 11-14weeks but its hard to now. These are my first babies and my husband and I are extremely excited. for the first 4 months I had a bit of morning sickness I felt nauseated 24/7 but only got sick 5 times within the 4 months. After then I was just extremely tired and felt really lazy. In this heat carrying twins is rough, but I can now feel them actually kick me and the movement has now turned from fluttering to actually movement feeling. My husband can now put his hands on my belly and feel them kick. I have had it pretty good so far for having twins I have heard from many people. For having twins I look wonderful. I am really excited for when I can see them and hold them. I hope you all enjoy your babies as well, and for all who has alot of complications I am sorry and I really pray that things get better.

I"m 34 weeks pregnate with twins. I have been sick from the start and still taking meds for it. The hardest part for me is the back aches, some days it's untolerable. I purchased a maternity belt which helps enormously, I'd suggest it to anyone suffering from back pain. My doctor says she wants me to go to week 35 at least, which is only a few days away. I will be relieved when it's all over. What keeps me going is that I know there will be two precious children in it for us and all the suffering will then go away. Only a few more days...I can't wait to hold them.
Good luck to all the moms out there!

Any one learning they are pregnant with twins-- buy maternity dresses, not shirts. Or buy shirts that are 2 sizes bigger than you would wear. I'm in my 35th week with twin boys and none of my clothes fit anymore! Thankfully I've made it this far with some large shirts borrowed from my sister-in-law, (I'm usually a size small) but they are now not large enough to cover all my expanding belly. This will be my 2nd and 3rd. My oldest just turned 2. Should be lots of fun! Good luck!!!

We were not really planning for another after the two we got , and a boy and girl for that matter . But along the way my husband insisted on one more and I felt if he can ask for one he definately may ask for more. I then told God like I had ever wanted give me TWINS if my husband will one day still ask for more. And to my surprise my morning sickness was too much for me. I had never split saliver in pregnancy but wao!!! this was much and @ 8 weeks I cant bear the pains and the discomfort I was experiencing I decide to go for a scan may be its fibroid because the pain was just much and my little tummy had blown up. Instead of fibroid it was a dizygous - a twins? I cant screem but I was so very happy and when I told my husband infact he cant come near my bed for two weeks he was so scared! Am about 15weeks
now and I feel good about it.Good luck to all mothers like me LUCKY YOU.
