I am a 26 yr. old mother-to-be of b/g twins. I didn't find out until I was 19 weeks and we are at 32 weeks now. I was very excited. I cried and laughed and screamed at the same time. I have been VERY lucky...absolutely NO morning sickness...I have only cried once, I think...I've gained the perfect amount of weight...haven't been craving sweets (until last week!)...and get this...NO stretch marks! Let's just hope the next 21 years go this smooth!

Hi, I am 28 weeks with fraternal twins. I am also a twin (identical) and my husband is a fraternal twin. We are both ecstatic as we have always dreamt of having twins and now our dreams are coming true! We did eat lots of yams to help make twins, looks like it helped! We had an ultrasound that said we are expecting twin boys, however I have an incredibly strong instinct that we are having one of each. The ultrasound was done at 24 weeks and we never saw a scrotum on either babies. I am wondering if they mistook the umbilical cord for a penis...or maybe this is wishful thinking?!

I am 26 and expecting fraternal B/G twins. I already have a four year old and he is very excited. I am currently 28 weeks and found out i was having twins at 6 weeks. I also had very bad morning sickness and have been in the hospital, but I have been having a lot of UTIs in this pregnancy. Other than being very tired and feeling like I have a boxing match going on inside me, I feel good. Good luck to all out there!!

I am 35 weeks pregnant with twin boys. I went into preterm labor last month and was put on bed rest. Now the boys are good and ready any time now. Doctors guess one baby is about 5 lbs and the other one is 4.5 lbs. I can't wait to see them and neither can my other two children.

Just found out I'm having twins (12wks). My digestion is out of whack! I can only eat tiny (not small) tiny portions and I feel sick after, especially in the evening. I'm worried about not getting enough nutrition. I don't have a taste for anything (except chocolate milk, ice-cream, milkshake)! I am thinking of taking something for digestion problems but I'm not sure.

Hi All. I am Riya. I am 25 weeks preg and expecting twins. I am most worried about the premature deliveries of twins. I heard so much about this. I am really worried about what precautions we should take to avoid premature delivery. I am in in to my third trimester and worried about my delivery.
