What would your reaction be if you found out you were having twins - or more??

    Shock and then happiness. I'd have to quit my job though which stinks.

    I would freak out too! We would have to find help (or family), I don't see how we'd find the time to eat otherwise!

    i would be happy because mr bee is a twin, so it's something i thought about a lot! i know it would be hard, but if we had twins the first time around, then we'd be done for sure! in a way it's easier to get the hard stage over with in one fell swoop!

    I actually had to lie down completely (I was propped up to see the screen) because I got so dizzy and couldn't breathe. I always thought it would be 'cool' to have more than one at a time (efficiency for the win!) but man, when it actually happens to you, there is nothing that can prepare you for the scariness of it all!

    @Trailmix: Did I miss the announcement where you announced how many "multiples" you're having????

    I'd be shocked, scared, shocked, then I'll celebrate once I've come back from the state of shock. haha! We don't have any family near us so that would be interesting... I did propose this to the hubby and he thought it'd be awesome. Go figure right?

    @matador84: I'm sure you can tell I'm newly pregnant, but what is a large "sch"?

    @Trailmix: oh wow!! triplets?! That's a whole separate thread there! haha! I'm sorry the risk of carrying triplets is causing you to make the hard decision to carry twins after Tuesday. Good luck!!!

    Twins... I would be excited but any more than that, I would be so terrified and in denial.

    I burst into tears when we found out. The tech had to pause doing the ultrasound for like 20 minutes so Dh could calm me down. Now, it feels like this is how it was always meant to be, but man is it a shock! I never ever dreamt of twins or thought it was a possibility.

    When I found out, I laughed and cried at the same time. I was in complete shock for the rest of the day. Luckily we found out pretty early (6 weeks ish) so we had time to process it. Since this is our first pregnancy and first kids, we won't know any different.

    I would be thrilled to find out I was pregnant with twins. I'd worry about getting through the newborn stage, but it would make me so happy to have our family complete with one pregnancy. I'm going through fertility treatments right now and it is so stressful and grueling. I also think it would be great for them to have a constant playmate and hopefully a lifelong close relationship. The finances for daycare would be a stretch, but if we stay in our current house not unreasonable. And if they're identical, does it getting any cuter than identical little girls or boys?

    If it was higher order multiples I'd be really worried about complications and having not all of them make it. And we'd definitely have to hire a nanny, lol.

    If they were my first pregnancy I would cry, freak out, and then call my mom (she has twins). Before I got pregnant with DS DH really hoped we'd have twins.

    If they were my second pregnancy I have no idea what I'd do beyond freaking out, especially since we're like 95% sure we only want one baby, and twins would then give us three. We'd deal, I think, but I think it would take a while to be okay with it.

    I have no idea. I'd freak out.

    Just the thread I was looking for... Just had my Day 14 ultrasound for my first IUI cycle and the doc told me I have 2 (maybe 3) mature follicles!! She told me there's a 20% chance I'll have twins with this IUI cycle if we are successful.

    When I first found out, I was excited. I always thought of how cool it would be to have twins. If we had fraternal twins with a boy and a girl, this would probably be my only pregnancy. Which is nice considering I had no idea I would still be TTC 9 months after trying. I thought I would have at least 1 child by now.
    Twins also seem more convienent, if we had a girl and a boy. (Yeah, I'm crazy.) Twins would be able to grow up together. Be best friends. Be in the same growing phase. If this was our one and only pregnancy, I wouldn't have to deal with buying everything all over again. If I wanted a third child (because I'm insane- lol), I could really consider adoption. Since having two biological children and one adoptee(?) would be a perfect family.

    Now, in reality, I know it would be tough emotionally and physically. Money would be tight. Thinking of school expenses times 2, then college tuition times 2 and everything else times 2 is scary.

    As for triplets, I would be absolutely shocked and very scared. That's a lot of babies to handle all at once.

    Like I said on other threads, after waiting 8 months with no BFP, I'm just looking forward to seeing that BFP. If there is one baby or 12, I'm sure it was meant to be and we'll make it work.

    I'd be thrilled. We plan on having two, and I'd love to have them the same age to grow up together. Even if we don't have twins, we'll probably have ours pretty close together.
