Multiple Pregnancy

Multiple pregnancy........ what a shocker!!!! I am currently 21 weeks pregnant expecting non identical twins. I can honestly say that I have never been so shocked by any other news than I was when I found out it is twins. I already have a 13 month old little boy, and me and my husband planned for a second baby to keep the age gap small. We had no idea what we were in for at the first scan at 12 weeks. I was quite large by the time my first scan came around, but didn't think anything of it as I was huge with my first pregnancy. When the sonographer said that it was twins I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. My husbands face was a picture. As it was, I ended up laughing ...  Read the complete review

Ahhh my twin pregnancy, well now that was a BIG shock. I found out I was pregnant when I was just 7weeks, it wasn't planned but I was so pleased. Being a big girl anyway I wasnt expecting to show in the early stages but by 10 weeks I had a formed baby bump, I remember my mum asking me if I was sure I wasnt further gone than what I thought. So my 1st scan came at just 12weeks, I lay down nervous and the sonographer said she would check the baby over then talk through it with me. She checked me over and then said "right", at which point I panicked as I thought there was something wrong, "its twins", Well I just cried! I didnt know whether to feel happy, ...  Read the complete review

Well i have to first of all say twins are amazing and such a blessing for any mum and dad! I found out i was carrying twins at my 12 week scan, i had been told by quite a few people that i was having twins but never quite believed them, i guess its on of the things that will never happen to you. I had quite a rounded bump from been only 6 weeks to the point where people could actually tell i was pregnant so there was no hiding it lol. I also had extrmely bad nausea from 6-12 weeks i was noly ever sick twice but the feeling of been sick lasted from the minute i woke until i went to bed. As soon as i hit 12 weeks it stopped and i felt fantastic. I first felt them move at ...  Read the complete review

I was delighted to find I was pregnant with twins at just 7 weeks. I'd already had to buy my first maternity jeans so it didn't come as a huge surprise to me, though I figured I was just clapping the weight on originally. From that point on, I was a marked woman, more scans, more rigid glucose testing, more iron supplements due to increased risks of anaemia etc etc etc. I had a colossal amount of hospital appointments, it pleased me as I felt there was a higher risk with two and there are, so I felt they were safer being kept a closer eye on. Not that it would have fixed a problem but certainly it could have helped create a plan in advance. I suffered zero ...  Read the complete review

My advice to anyone expecting twins would be to speak to others who have had similar experiences. Ask them to tell you if the horror stories are true. Ask them to tell you exactly what happens. When I fell pregnant with twins, I desperately searched for advice, but all I found wher outdated books that spoke of having x rays to confirm twins. If only I knew someone who could relate their experience to me. If you are in that situation, here's my story. Maybe you will have more of an idea what is going to or could happen. If you are not, sit back and enjoy. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I had been married two ...  Read the complete review
