Pregnancy Info HOME

I feel the same way, I am 16 1/2 weeks with twins and all I do is think. I guess I have too much time on my hands but I don't knit and have enjoyed laying around alot!

cause ur probably very very excited congradulations

me and my husband has wanted twins i was wondering how big of a chance we have. his older brothers wife is having twins his mother has twins on her side and his grandmother on his dads side is an identical twin

i need some questions answered about having twins

I'm pregnant with twin boys and I'm so excited. I already have one little girl and she's very excited. I'm praying everyday the twins are healthy and doing just fine.

hey girls :) I'm currently 15 weeks with twins (first pregnancy).. I gotta tell ya, I totally feel you on the time feeling like it goes by soooo sloooow.. its probably because we're all anxious for these new blessings to come into the world. oh, to answer those questions, I asked my doctor and have also done research myself (been reading a LOT). it just so happens that fraternal twins in the mothers side will be pa__sed on genetically (which is what happened with me).. it usually skips a generation, but anythings possible. as for identical twins, there's no research that proves its caused by genetics, so basically that's a smaller chance. also, the research shows that nothing on the fathers side causes twins.. so basically if we women have it from our mothers generation, and their mothers and so on... that increases our chances of having twins. and of course if the woman is older during pregnancy, or if she's taking fertility treatments, or women who get pregnant shortly after stopping birth control, or those who get IVF, or women who've already had children (due to hormonal changes with each succesive birth), or women who've already given birth to fraternal twins, race (african races have the highest incident of twins, followed by europeans, mexican, then lastly asian). all of those additional factors increase the chances of twins. hope it helps anyone who's wondering! :) p.s.. congrats to all.

how do i know if im having twins

Hi Heather I am also having twins but dont know what im having yet. Im 17 weeks. However this is my second pregnancy and i think the reason the time goes so slow is because the anticipation of everything that comes along with motherhood. Who will the children look like, will I be a good mother, will my better half help with the work load and any other questions or concerns you may have that wont be answered until the children arrive. i hope i could help and that is all my opinion

Hi i'm pregnant with tiwns, boy and a girl. I feel the same as you and all I can say is that you think alot more then normal. But it will come soon enough and your waiting will be over. hold in there. I feel your pain.
