That seems overwhelming to me. DW wanted twins though! She said it for months before we found out about the pregnancy! Just one little boy in there though. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1/page/2#post-2229861 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 08:55:29 +0000 Caly 2229861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was absolutely thrilled to be pregnant with twins after years of trying. The reality of twins (both the pregnancy and taking care of) is very tough. I'd do it all over again but I would definitely not want another set. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1/page/2#post-2229832 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 08:39:16 +0000 MrsKoala 2229832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. I kind of want three kids and twins would make that an easy decision but I'm not sure I really want it to happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1/page/2#post-2229791 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 08:07:20 +0000 Mrs D 2229791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to always think twins would be so awesome...now after having DD the thought terrifies me...</p> <p>Of course, we would be blessed to have 2 healthy babies...but I am not sure its something I would wish for these days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1/page/2#post-2229781 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 08:03:12 +0000 babycanuck 2229781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wanted twins...we have 5 sets between us, and though I know it's hard, I always felt that if my grandmother could do two sets of twins 3 years apart in the 40s as an immigrant, I could do it.</p> <p>I'm having a singleton and this will be my only. I would have been happy no matter what the combo was if I was having twins. My father is identical and we have so much fun with him and my uncle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1/page/2#post-2229768 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 07:57:05 +0000 LuLu Mom 2229768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! Maybe I would say yes if it happened my first pregnancy, but if I would get pregnant with twins my 3rd time around I would be so upset. 3 kids is my max, 4 is just scary! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1/page/2#post-2229731 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 07:20:46 +0000 mediagirl 2229731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I would have been so happy if our daughter had been a twin. Then I wouldn't be longing for the sibling she may never get. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1/page/2#post-2229657 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 06:25:51 +0000 78h2o 2229657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I always secretly hoped they'd find two at my first ultrasound. I have nannied for two sets of twins - it was a lot of work, but I loved it. I think we're done now though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229654 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 06:20:39 +0000 ValentineMommy 2229654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was hoping this pregnancy was a twin set (he's not), and I would love love love love love for our next time around to be twins (not sure how DH would feel about that!!). Twin girls would be perfect, so I could have 2 boys and 2 girls. Time is also not really on my side to have 2 more, so this would get me to the 4 that I would love to have!! I think DH would have a heart attack. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229653 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 06:20:32 +0000 Dandelion 2229653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but if I were pregnant with them, I would want them. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229646 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 06:02:27 +0000 looch 2229646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I was hoping my son was twins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229634 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 05:22:30 +0000 simplyfelicity 2229634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I have no idea how twin mamas do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229633 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 05:10:24 +0000 petunia354 2229633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. Twins run on my side of the family so it's something I have to be ready for. My DH would love twins but im a high risk patient so it wouldn't be good for me or the babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229612 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 00:39:27 +0000 lamariniere 2229612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually had a dream the other night that I was pregnant with B/G twins (in addition to the two I already have). It scared the pants off of me! I think I could have been ok with twins for my first pregnancy but only because I wouldn't have had any idea what I was getting into. For subsequent pregnancies, no way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229611 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 00:39:02 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2229611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I wanted twins given I'm AMA &amp; "running out of time", but now that DD is here, I'm often relieved she's only one! Life with a newborn baby is challenging at times &amp; I regularly think about what if she were twins?!? I just think twins would be *awfully* challenging at the early stages, in reality, despite the appeal it has had to me previously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229608 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 00:19:30 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2229608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: Fraternal twins can only be genetic on the woman's side, since it has to do with releasing 2 eggs, nothing to do with sperm. So your chances are as good as any of the rest of us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229597 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 23:17:31 +0000 Aandmklover 2229597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wanted twins in my first pregnancy because you just deal, don't know anything different and you don't have any other kids to take care of. Now that I have other children I wouldn't be as excited if I became pregnant with twins. </p> <p>I already have 2 boys so if I had twins I'd love G&amp;G twins </p> <p>My mom had twins in her 4th pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229586 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 22:49:00 +0000 Crystal 2229586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck yes! Especially battling infertility, it'd be awesome to have the opportunity to "catch up" a bit if you will. Boy girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229584 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 22:43:29 +0000 stiletto_mom 2229584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fraternal twins run on DH's side of the family and skips a generation. DH is actually a twin himself, so the next gen will be "skipped.</p> <p>I used to want twins just for the novelty of it, as a kid.</p> <p>But now, NO WAY. LOL, I only want to kids, and having twins would mean I'd be done once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229573 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 22:27:11 +0000 matador84 2229573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. 4 is my ideal number although we are probably not having anymore. 2 more children and only one pregnancy would be awesome, but it would be hard in double the expense at the time (2 more daycare costs at the same time...yikes). I think it would be a truly special blessing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229572 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 22:22:21 +0000 plantains 2229572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. After going through the stress of a twin pregnancy only to lose one at the 20 week mark I have zero desire to go through that again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229541 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 21:27:46 +0000 JessKas 2229541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. Not ever. I nannied for multiple sets of twins at various times and know it's not for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229513 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 21:02:15 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2229513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I would love twins! I think it would be hard initially, but when I think long-term after the first couple years I think it'd be really great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229494 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 20:51:22 +0000 Truth Bombs 2229494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not my preference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229489 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 20:48:33 +0000 cat620 2229489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I wouldn't want twins. My cousins are twins (boy and girl), and I remember how much work they were when they were little. I couldn't handle having two crying babies needing me at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229449 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 20:20:55 +0000 Eko 2229449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Forget that! I spent three summers helping my aunt with her newborn twins and it was really challenging even with two people to take care of the babies and keep up a house. Then theres how expensive it is at once! No thanks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229444 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 20:16:47 +0000 MrsRcCar 2229444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The idea of twins seems fine but the reality of them is scary! I cant seem to carry my kiddos to term as it is... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229441 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 20:15:31 +0000 Foodnerd81 2229441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. We only want two kids, and I think I would have had a really hard time knowing I was only going to go through everything once. The thing that helps me as I get sad when C outgrows a certain stage is knowing I'll do it again with another baby. I think I'd be a basket case every time my twins outgrew something since is never have a (nonwalker, pre talker, solely breastfed...) baby again. </p> <p>Not to mention how much harder it seems of course! </p> <p>With this second pregnancy I wouldn't have wanted twins because our lives are just not set up for three kids. We would have had to move (we will barely fit in our two bed condo), get a new car, I don't even know what else. </p> <p>So, yeah I'm good with two singles. But I'm sure from the twins perspective they have an amazing relationship (I hope!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229439 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 20:12:24 +0000 sapphire 2229439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No no no. Too much work at once, high risk pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-twins-1#post-2229437 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 20:11:56 +0000 buttermilk 2229437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Noooo! But mostly bc I've loved being pregnant so much, I don't want to feel gypped by not getting to experience it again. Of course I haven't delivered yet so I may have a different answer next month! :) </p>
