Hi! I'm 16 and found out I'm having twins. I'm happy I just wish the dad was here to help me instead of being in a wilderness camp. I wanted to start off with 1 but got stuck with 2. I'm not mad or upset Im actually kinda happy. The only bad thing is I'm not good with telling twins apart. I was wondering if when you get in ultra sound you can tell if the babies will look alike. It would be confusing to tell them apart if they were both the same sex.

Hi! I am 19 years old and found out a few weeks ago that I was pregnant! Then went and had an u/s at 8 weeks 5 days, and found out its TWINS! I was so excited, since I've wanted twins since I was a little girl! But I was just wondering if anyone had any good websites about twins and information on it?? Thanks!

I am 5 weeks pregnant today. I cannot be wrong about due date. I am showing big time. This will be my third child, and I have twins in my family from all sides. When I say showing big, I mean that I am normally a size 4 in pants and uncomfortable in a size 8 on my abdomen. I really think that this means I am having twins and can't wait to find out if I'm right.

I am looking for advice on having mono mono twins? (identical twins sharing placenta and same sac).
We are 12 weeks and have been given very negative outcome predictions, which is scary!!
I saw "johnson babys" said they were having momo twins due 03/04/2007....i hope twins and mom are doing well.

For the first 3 1/2 months of my twin girl pregnancy, I had morning sickness soooo bad! I'm now 28 weeks and feeling great! I ate lots of those corn thins and rice cakes. Ice cream also seemed to help for some reason. I weighed 125 at the start and now I'm at 155, and I still have over two months to go, yikes! The things that help me the most are prenatal yoga and lots of water, makes all the difference in how my muscles and joints cope.

How did you all know you were having twins? Extreme nausea? Did you gain weight quicker? What were the symptoms like? Any clues or suggestions would help.... By the time you were 8 weeks or so, was your abdomen larger? Just wondering & curious.... thanks!!!!!!!
