But now that I'm pregnant, I'm really glad that I'm only having one baby this time. I do have to say though, that I think it would be nice to just go through everything once with twins and then be done with childbearing (since I only want two kids). Yes, it would be almost double the work, but then you wouldn't have to go through the whole process of pregnancy and childbearing for a second time a few years down the line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91987 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 11:24:44 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 91987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I secretly want twins too! I think it's probably really tough in the beginning but it would "save" me a pregnancy, which would be nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91983 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 11:20:23 +0000 jennylynn 91983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to want twins, a boy and a girl, until I got further into the pregnancy and realized how much ONE baby needs. My cousin had twin girls, and she always seems so exhausted and frazzled. I know it's doable and she wouldn't trade them for the world, but I think it'd be too much for us, especially the first pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91977 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 11:16:27 +0000 plantains 91977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just can't even begin to imagine having twins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91874 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 08:28:10 +0000 Pipers Mommy 91874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: me too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91872 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 08:27:06 +0000 twodoghouse 91872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wanted to BE a twin when I was younger, but I would not want to HAVE twins. My dad's brother has twins, but I'm hoping that doesn't up my chances any :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91870 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 08:24:53 +0000 Mrs. Blue 91870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my grandmas were twins (one set were identical and the other was fraternal). I grew up hearing and seeing how close twins can be and how much fun they had, so I've always wanted a set of twins. That said, I don't have any kids at all right now and two at once sounds terrifying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91671 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 13:10:33 +0000 autumnlove 91671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way! I want two kids(one at a time)with the option of more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91645 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 11:51:01 +0000 kokobee 91645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i wouldn't mind having boy/girl twins for my second pregnancy! twins run in my family. i have a twin sis/bro and my other sis has a twin boy/girl. they're a lot of fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91632 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 10:13:25 +0000 winniebee 91632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Having twins for pregnancy #1 would have freaked me out - and I didn't know it but they run in my maternal side of the family!</p> <p>Since we want 3 kids, I'd be OK with having twins for the second pregnancy....though it would still be terrifying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91607 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 09:04:50 +0000 pastemoo 91607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: They always say every pregnancy is different. #2 could be much better.<br /> My friend is a twin, and three of her siblings are twins (mom had twins, 1 baby, twins again!) and her mom's pregnancies were all super different, even the two different twin ones.<br /> It is a gamble though. Another woman I met had 2 pregnancies and both were like MsMini's and so she got her tubes tied after 2 (lots of morning sickness and medicines that only kind of worked for 9 months straight). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91572 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 07:14:58 +0000 tequiero21 91572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: 2 or 3 is good. we're happy with 2, we'd be happy with 3... i do think pregnancy was worse for me because i'm carrying twins and i pretty much gained weight all on my belly, so i'm feeling extra miserable. plus, i think my first trimester was extra bad because i'm carrying twins.... i'm hoping. i really don't want to have to go through this again if it's not really the twins, but it's just pregnancy! lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91571 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 07:13:32 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 91571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my first pregnancy I wouldn't of mind. But not for a second or third pregnancy. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91563 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 04:28:21 +0000 pastemoo 91563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cupcakemama: :P I know it would be pretty ridiculously difficult, but my hubby would remind me the whole time--no more pregnancy ever again--and that would help. @MsMamaBear: LOL&gt; Or that could happen to me.<br /> @tequiero21: You'll be ok! And... how many babies do you want? I guess I only really wanted 2 (but now just one is good for me!) so if I had twins now, I wouldn't even try again. ... most likely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91517 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 23:20:39 +0000 Penny Lane 91517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I (not-so-secretly) want twins! I'm not even sure why, but I always always have... We'll have to see if that changes after having LO :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91496 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 22:22:19 +0000 MsMamaBear 91496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before having my daughter, yes! Now? Heck no! too much work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91495 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 22:21:21 +0000 tequiero21 91495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've always wanted twins but never imagined having them because they didn't run in my family. now, i'm REALLY scared. i'm with @pastemoo, i actually did not really enjoy pregnancy and i dread possibly having to do it again.... although it might be easier with only 1 next time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91493 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 22:19:03 +0000 SAHM0811 91493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before having kids, I never wanted twins.</p> <p>Now that I see how wonderfully my two girls get along (at this time), I wouldn't mind having twins next. The bond they have will be like no other and we'll have 4 and definitely be done after that! But twins run in SO's family, not mine, so if I'm not mistaken, it's pretty unlikely we'll have twins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91485 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 21:56:50 +0000 Red 91485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before LO, I wanted twins 'cause we wanted two kids and I didn't want to do the whole pregnancy thing twice, especially since I'm not so young anymore. But, it was soooo much work caring for one, I think I would've have lost my mind caring for two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91456 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 20:39:19 +0000 Andrea 91456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, one at a time is good but if it happens I will deal with it of course! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91452 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 20:36:45 +0000 chopsuey 91452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! I'd love to have twins next. :) Then I can stop thinking about having babies. 3 biological is my max! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91450 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 20:33:13 +0000 heffalump 91450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to want twins.... until lo came. It's hard enough with one! But I still secretly (actually I just told hubby tonight so its not a.secret) want them because we're only going to have one more.for financial reasons and I want 3 total. So I either need twins or an oops baby to get my 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91448 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 20:30:27 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 91448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted twins until I went through having an infant... but all my friends with twins tell me that it's hard but you get through it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91423 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 19:05:42 +0000 cupcakemama 91423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: see, I loved being pregnant and would do it again in a heartbeat! The first 6 weeks with LO were ... challenging. I am glad I am through that and even if I have another baby will never go through that again! I will have some clue! I think twins would put me back at square one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91420 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 18:48:24 +0000 pastemoo 91420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I secretly wanted twins, too --especially when I realized how un-fun pregnancy is. Always wanted 2 kids but I'm not sure I can do this again. Oh well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91412 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 18:37:43 +0000 cupcakemama 91412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! Having dealt with 1 newborn 2 at once fills me with dread! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins#post-91411 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 18:29:47 +0000 BSB 91411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a young adult, I always thought it would be 'cool' to have twins.<br /> I know it's probably much more difficult to twins than only one child. And it's probably financially hard.</p> <p>Twins don't run in our families but a little tiny part of me would love to have twins.</p> <p>Anyone else secretly want twins?</p> <p>Do twins or multiples run in your family? </p>
