I'm 18 week just found out that I'm having twins. I was expecting my 3rd baby but it will be my 3rd and 4th. I'm a little bit nervous because I was having complications in the beginning and I don't want to lose them.

I am 21 and I have a 20 month old daughter and now I am expecting twin boys in June. I am excited and scared out of my head. I am not trying to do this as a single parent, but I have my family. I think the biggest thing for me has been that I absolutely have to eat and have to rest. I get tired and sore and I have to eat a ton to gain any weight. There is no fear of weight gain allowed.

I am pregnant with twins - a boy and a girl. They are due on 25th december which is Christmas day. At first I was so traumatised by the fact that I am and will be a single perent at the age of 25. I remember crying at the doctor's room and shouting out loud "I dont want twins!!! I dont want twins. "It was so bad, because at that point I had little support from the people around me. I felt so alone and lost. Suprisingly I have risen against all odds and I am so excited see my two little angels. At present I am 7 months and still working. My pregnancy went so well. I never experienced morning sickness.I am planning to take leave fpr a month at the end of October though, since I have gained a lot of weight and am so uncomfortable at times.

Our twins are due around Thanksgiving and we couldn't be more excited! After a long journey through infertility, we feel doubly blessed to be getting "two for the price of one" - and can't wait to double our family size!

Twin advice: you can breastfeed twins! Go to a La Leche League meeting and /or find someone else who has done it and can encourage you. I did for 19 months!
