I found out that twins run in my family. Twins run on my boyfriends side of the family. His brother just recently had a set of twins. His mom had carried twins, trippletts, and quads those ended in miscarriages. I was just curious as to what the odds are of us having twins or multiples. Any respones appreciated. Thanks.

Well the only side that matters is your side. Your b/f's family will not affect your chances at all. Your chances are greater from your side, but its still not a guarantee that you will be pg with twins. Are the twins on your side fraternal or identical?

A few are fraternal and a few are identical. We have both.

Only fraternal twins are hereditary & that is only from the mother's side (ie...you!). ID twins are just something that happens!

Just curious, I just read your posts under teen pregnancy. Are you really wanting twins at such a young age? Did you find out if you where really pregnant or not?

Yes I really want twins are my age. I'm prepared for it. I have been bounced from family to family since Iwas 3 and I have finally found someone who loves me more than the world. I want my own family. I'm tired of having a pretend family, I want my own. Sadly I'm not pregnant. I wish I was. I'm still trying though.

Do you know how much it cost to raise a baby? When I was pregnant with my firstborn I had hyperemisis gravidum. I was hospitalized for two months and my medical bills extended over 100,000. That was before labor and childbirth. Diapers now are 13.00 a pack. Plus formula. Plus clothes. Plus more pediatrician bills. (Times two for twins) Do you have a good job or are you still in school? Are you even married?

Saying you're 'prepared for it' illustrates how young you really are. Nobody is prepared for it no matter how much they think they are. If your childhood was so difficult I would t hink you'd want to make the best life possible for your own kids when you have them. Having a child at a young age because you need them to fill a void in your own life is a bad idea. Babies need much more than they are able to give back. I hope you can work out your issues on your own and are able to wait to start your family.

I know it is hard to wait for something that you want right now but that is part of maturity. If you have a family right now to make up for something you lack (which it never will anyway) you are giving yourself and your children pretty much a 100% garauntee that they are going to come from a broken home. The best thing, even though you won't want to do it for it seems like forever, is wait and make the best stable foundation you can for your future family. Don't worry, you will get there and it will be wonderful when it happens, but only when you can minmize the stress in your life like finacial, emotional, social..etc and unfortunately, this mostly comes with age and experience. Some of it you get from listening to others that have honestly been there and truly have your best interest at heart.

Jenna, b___stfeeding is a GREAT idea... but unfortunately not all babies can successfully b___stfeed. Some mothers are unable to provide enough b___stmilk. Also, cloth diapers are wonderful, but sometimes not very practical in todays world. Milk and diapers are probably two of the CHEAPER things babies require. What about health insurance, clothing, prescriptions, etc. What about insurance to cover her pregnancy, and birth? I think Medicaid is a great idea for those that get pregnant and can't afford the medical aspect of it. However, getting pregnant on purpose already knowing that the taxpayers are going to be paying your medical bill is obsurd. She is too young unless she were to get married to have her own health insurance plan. Even if she were to get married and have her own plan... most insurance plans do not cover maternal care unless you have paid the maternal premiums for more than 12 months. (There are some exceptions). I understand she is lonely and wanting a family of her own. However, I think that rather than thinking about herself and what SHE wants right now. She should think more so what is best for a baby.
