Sorry, this will be kinda off topic.... But I am noticing, and quite frequently I might add, that there are a few women who thing being a parent to twins is somehow more important/brave then being a parent to a singleton / spaced children. Is that TRUE?? or am I misreading the above opinions?

mis-typed... meant "think"

Why does this even have to be answered. It is their life and if they want twins etc then why is it your buisness. If someone wants to take drugs to have a better chance of having multiples then let them.

you must have mis-read the question, DEE! This isn't about how you conceived, etc, it is really just a question as to why... that is all. Don't see what the big deal is about that! I mean, if you don't want to tell why, then what do you care if others are willing to say WHY they want twins, etc? I mean, if the question had just been "why do you want to have children" no one would have a problem answering.... Yet when the question concerns multiples...

I will admit to being quite disappointed, if not at all surprised, that NONE of the really out-spoken ladies on this board have gotten on here and actually answered this easy question. I mean, if it is your pa__sion to have multiples, wouldn't you scream it from the rooftops?

I have read many of your post and this mama bean seems to be a real pain in the rear. Don't feel like you have to justify yourself to her or anyone why you want what you want. What difference does it make to HER why any of you want multiples. What is it gonna change. Is she a wizard or something and can grant wishes. Wishes and wants are a part of life. Everyone including HER have something that she wishes she had and that doesn't make her a bad person so why does the wanting of multiples make us bad people.

not sure if I want twins they are alot of work why I have a yearning foir them is I was a twin my mom miscarried mine and I survived (long story)

Thanks Krob! It seems that you may have an edge, being a twin yourself!

TO THE POST ADDRESSED TO ME...THANKS SO MUCH FOR UNDERSTANDING....

Mama Bean, I have really been giving this question alot of thought. It is a fair question and I feel anyone on here should provide you with an honest answer and not criticize you. You are trying to understand and I respect that. People do not have to come on and post if they do not like the topic. Anyways, I don't know when it happened but one day I woke up and all I thought about was twins. It has been an all consuming thought. I know the time is coming that we are going to be trying for another child. We will start in November. I have a 5 yo girl and a 13month old boy. I also have a 14 year old step daughter. My husband has been a father for a long time and as many of you parents know, the older your children get the more independence you get. You feel more comfortable leaving them with a sitter, they start school, etc. It is still an enormous responsibility but it does get easier in many respects. My husband wants to see a time where we get more independence as a couple. We have NO family anywhere near us, so we don't do many things alone, and I must admit I want that time too. However I want a big family. The only family we have is the one we make. My husband knows that I have a desire twins and if we have them that is great, but if not than it was not meant to be. I will respect my husbands wish to have this be our last pregnancy, and he respects my wish to try to swing the odds in my favor. He would not support prescription drugs and I would personally never take the increased risk of harm to myself or possible miscarriage,**MY OWN NONJUDGEMENTAL OPINOIN**but I am trying vitex and wild yams. I don't know if that will really help but at least I won't be wondering one day if it could have. I know that if I am meant to have twins I will. If not, that is okay, it was not in God's plan for me. I am surprised at my own desire for twins, it is just something I feel now and never felt before with either of my other pregnancies. I know it will be much harder and I am prepared fo rthat. My son was 91/2 lbs, so I am prepared to be supersized this pregnancy if I get my wish. I don't know how much sense this all makes, it is just something I feel. Thanks.

I have to say I feel similar to Jill. I m/c a triplet preg very early. I would really love to have that multples experience. We really wanted a bigger family, but like Jill we are ready to quite buying diapers! This will also be our last pregnancy, I am really putting in a lot of prayers. I am 29 and have carried 3 healthy pregnancies, and although it may be more difficult I think I could handle the chalenge.

To Shannon, I am so sorry about your loss of triplets. I can imagine your desire is even greater that mine.. I wish you the best, I hope your prayers are answered.

Thank you so much Jill and Shannon! This is just the kind of information that I was looking for!

You are welcome Mama Beans??...is there another bean in the oven?? or is the beanS a mistake? Well I hope it is good news! I know my response was not eloquent, but some feelings are hard to put into words.
