Now that I've had one, the thought terrifies me! Of course, it would be blessing but a huge adjustment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me/page/2#post-1443751 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 12:19:06 +0000 MrsScottish 1443751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When is it normal to find out if one is preg with twins??? Ultrasound?!!? In my area it is common to get one ultrasound at 18-20 weeks. I couldn't imagine finding out then!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me/page/2#post-1443278 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 00:03:39 +0000 Mrs. M 1443278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't have been upset, but I never hoped for twins! I can't even imagine how much work it is, especially the breastfeeding!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me/page/2#post-1443272 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 00:00:33 +0000 googly-eyes 1443272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have been super happy the first time, but now that I've been through the sleepless nights and I already have one and just want one more, I really don't want twins next time. I'd adjust and I'm sure I'd come back saying I was glad it happened, but where I am now, the thought of one more is still scary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me/page/2#post-1443083 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 21:11:55 +0000 charmed 1443083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always kind of hoped for twins.<br /> It sounds silly, but when I was in grade school we did a thing where we had to take care of a fake baby (in our case it was bags of sugar, but I've heard it done with eggs instead) and we drew out of a hat to see what gender "baby" we had. I got twin boys, and ever since then have felt I'd end up with twins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me/page/2#post-1442963 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 19:32:08 +0000 babycanuck 1442963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always wanted twins, who knows what we'll get if we get lucky. we have 5 sets between us in our families. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me/page/2#post-1442883 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 18:20:25 +0000 MrsScottish 1442883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got our first BFP this week and dh wanted to go check out strollers at a fancy store downtown. We fell in love with uppa baby vista. I joked to him as we walked past the double strollers- what of we need those....... He just took a deep breath. I have twins on my side of the family so possible!! I don't know where we would put them but I wouldn't be upset!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me/page/2#post-1442869 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 17:58:20 +0000 lemondrop 1442869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was young I thought that would be awesome considering how many twins we both have in our families. </p> <p>After seeing what my SIL and BIL have gone through with theirs- not any more! I love those kiddos so much, but the health worries when they came early and the financial stress they have of two at once are not something I want to deal with. As much as I dislike pregnancy, one at a time is good for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me/page/2#post-1442834 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 16:57:43 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 1442834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man...I would love two little twin girls or boy/girl twins. LOVE! I know the odds are basically nonexistent, but.....that would be amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me/page/2#post-1442499 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 10:23:01 +0000 pui 1442499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll admit it, I wanted twins. Logically I know that is silly on multiple levels, but as someone who also wants a big family and took a while to conceive, I can see the attraction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me/page/2#post-1442358 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 08:12:24 +0000 Snowdrop 1442358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To be honest, anything that reduces the amount of time I have to TTC is good by me! I would totally have twins now although if I could be guaranteed 3 singletons I would take that first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me/page/2#post-1435093 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 21:12:22 +0000 twoofeverything 1435093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunshineandsushi: ditto! The awesome far outweighs the hard! And for us, it's kind of comforting to know we only have to go through the "hard" once (of course, we only get the awesome once, too...I try not to think about that!).<br /> I was terrified about juggling and affording two, but now I can't imagine having only one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me/page/2#post-1434368 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 16:11:33 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1434368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really did, especially because it took so long to get a sticky baby, but then my sister got twin boys. Now I'm over it, but really glad my sister adopted those two cuties! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me/page/2#post-1434349 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 16:03:29 +0000 Sprite 1434349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really want twins! Due to my DOR, and the fact that it's becoming quite expensive trying to get pregnant with #1, two would be a blessing, even though I know how hard two babies at once would be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me/page/2#post-1434341 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 16:00:58 +0000 NeekieRose 1434341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always thought it would be awesome to have twins, but when I actually got pregnant, the thought of twins scared me so much. I was so relieved to see only one baby at the first ultrasound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me/page/2#post-1434328 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:56:11 +0000 Caly 1434328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. tictactoe: I'm never anything but honest :silly: They're great, I love them to death and would have it no other way but two at once is pretty all consuming, at least they are right now heh.<br /> Perhaps you'll get your wish of a girl x 2 :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me/page/2#post-1434300 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:47:59 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1434300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LMOG47: Haha, love the honesty.</p> <p>I also wished for twins before Liam, especially boy/girl twins. Now, I say that it sounds just way too hard, but I still hope. Although, if I had boy/boy twins, I'd probably cry. I need my girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me/page/2#post-1434290 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:44:31 +0000 Caly 1434290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did &amp; got them. After years of trying &amp; enough money to feed &amp; arm a small country, I was thrilled to get two at once. Now that they're here and the sheer exhaustion of taking care of two is upon me, I say, you're nuts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me/page/2#post-1434049 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:44:23 +0000 mrsjyw 1434049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH wanted twins for the first. But now he doesn't ;)</p> <p>MIL still says annoying comments about having twins. (She just wants us to have tons of kids I think).</p> <p>I'm DEF okay with NOT having twins and having another pregnancy instead.</p> <p>baby dust your way!!! fx for you friend xo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me/page/2#post-1434046 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:43:28 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1434046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kml636: I'm not pregnant.

My cousin was pregnant with twins when I found out, and I thought it would be so cool for us to both have twins within a few months of each other. Not going to lie, so glad it didn't happen to me! I think I woudl cry if it happened next time, but I would for sure come around, I would cry for the money &amp; lack of space aspect of things! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me#post-1433946 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:18:57 +0000 bhbee 1433946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sort of wanted twins the first time. DH would have freaked the heck out though. he was unemployed for the first half of my pregnancy so it would have been scary financially.</p> <p>this time, I know I'm risking multiples, especially now upping my clomid. and I really don't want twins because I feel like it would be really hard on my current LO for me to have two newborns to pay attention to. but if it happens, I will take it as a blessing. I always wanted 3 kids, and it's been hard to conceive both times so we probably won't do it again if we can get #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me#post-1433868 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:01:19 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1433868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same here! I would love twins. My husband is a twin but his family has no bearing and I don't have twins in my family. I am older so that might slightly skew things but its really doubtful. I would love to have 3 but my husband is set on two so twins would be the only way I would be guaranteed a third if it were a healthy pregnancy. I will be happy with just one more too though. And my husband would really flip out if we had twins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me#post-1433811 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:41:43 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1433811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not crazy at all! I wanted twins with both pregnancies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me#post-1433801 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:39:07 +0000 Modern Daisy 1433801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you are crazy! I was hoping for twins with ds and when we try for a 2nd I will also pray for twins again! In a way I feel robbed that we only jad one baby the first time even though that is completely irrational simce we were blessed with a beautiful healthy baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me#post-1433781 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:33:59 +0000 blackbird 1433781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh i totally kinda want twins the next time around. I know it'd be crazy, but I know we'd manage. And i have to admit, it would be NICE to have 3 babies and be done with pregnancy. And then feel ultra justified in a post baby tummy tuck, LOL. It's a double blessing, right? :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me#post-1433767 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:24:50 +0000 lazypanda 1433767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to have twins as well so that I can complete our family in one shot. My paternal aunt and uncle are fraternal twins but it's not likely for me to have twins since I heard that twins are on the maternal side. Since we're on a medicated cycle, I've told DH that it would be nice to have twins as it's taking us awhile to conceive. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me#post-1433764 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:22:50 +0000 deactivated_account 1433764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love twins, too! I was just talking to my friend the other night about the possibility since I'm on my 10th month TTC and maybe I will need clomid or whatever else that assists pregnancies but can cause multiples. Yikes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me#post-1433750 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:13:09 +0000 Mae 1433750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol I sort of felt that way. My husband definitely did. It would've been nuts but we were like hmmmm if this were twins we'd have the 2 we wanted and we could be done :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoping-for-twins-what-is-wrong-with-me#post-1433705 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:00:40 +0000 Crystal 1433705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would ♥ twins!!!! I have always wanted them, but since they don't run in my family, its highly unlikely it would ever happen. </p>
