Hellobee Boards

I have wanted twins since I was in high school. Yeah, I was crazy back then and not realistic or practical. Also, twins don't run in my family, so there wasn't a good chance that I could have twins. It was a crazy dream when I thought twins would be 'cool'.

Now, that we are starting IVF, the chance for multiples is higher, so I may be a little excited about starting IVF now.

By the time we finally got around to doing IVF we were totally on board with twins. Which is pretty lucky because I'm pregnant with two now. It's still scary when they say there are two in there and thinking forward to two newborns, two teenagers, two college tuitions! Not to mention the risks of a twin pregnancy. But I'm just so relieved to be having twins because we waited so long to have a baby and now we're getting it all over with in one go. I'll cross my fingers that you see a bfp soon and maybe it will end up being twins!!

I would have been okay with twins the first time around. But I was really hoping there would just be one in there this time!

Lol I did! Now that I'm at the end of the pregnancy I find myself kind of glad I'm not having twins! One baby coming is seriously stressing me out! Let alone two.

It goes without saying though that I would have been thrilled with twins if I had them.

Nope. I was relieved when there was only one in there. I have twin nephews. I love them alot, but feel for my brother and SIL because they're tough. They added a niece later. I don't know how they do it. I have a friend from high school who has a toddler with twins. I'm happy with singletons.

I always said I wouldn't mind haha, but I don't think I know what I'm getting myself into!

I did, and got them! IVF was the reason, though. It wasn't that I didn't want to BE pregnant again, it was that I didn't want to have to GET pregnant again- that was the hard (and very expenseive) part for us.

I was pregnant with twins originally in my first pregnancy and I was so excited. But it wasn't meant to be. I doubt there's two in there now...but my first appointment is March 10.

I never hoped for twins but got them! 13 months later, I have to say, it is SO AWESOME to have twins! Maybe double the work, but the highs are more than double. It is so amazing to see them playing and laughing together (although now they fight together as well!).

haha I totally did. And I'll be lying if I said I wasn't slightly disappointed at our first u/s for #2 that there was only 1 blob in there.

We be cray cray.

I grew up thinking twins would be so fun because my grandmas were both twins and loved being twins, but I didn't want or expect them right off the bat. It took a while to adjust to and there are definitely some hard moments, but it is the Best. Thing. Ever. Seriously, just the best!

i have hoped for twins...didn't help that SIL kept talking about it for years! we both have twins in our families so i guess it could still happen!

Yes, I want boy twins for pregnancy #3!

Good luck!

I'm pregnant with #2, and SERIOUSLY hoping for twins! There are zero twins on my side though, so boo.

And, not gonna lie, I even held out hope for a surprise 2nd baby while I was delivering DD. "Are you sure there aren't any babies hiding in there?!"

I'm with you, friend!!!! I was hoping for twins with E but then I was SO sick that we thought it might ACTUALLY be twins and I FREAKED OUT. Now I'm off my rocker again and would love twins next time- it would be nice to feel "done"/complete. Although if I had twin boys that would be hard because I want E to have a sister, and we ideally would have 3 kids. Who knows! I'd definitely welcome it, though! I probably would just panic a lot though too, haha. Also- as always my fingers are crossed for you!!!!!

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

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!

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.

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.
