hi, I already have 5 children my youngest being 10, I was wondering if anyone else has had twins successfully at this age and if you have had a natural birth, I’m 12 weeks gest, worried about complications, thanks

I haven’t  been in your situation, but I have a good friend that had twins at age 40. She had an uncomplicated pregnancy. She delivered via c section, but that was her choice, not due to any sort of medical need. 
Your doctor will be able to give you a much better feel for your particular risk level, but there are plenty of women that have uncomplicated pregnancies and births in their 40s.

Congrats lady. I'll be 39 and just found out we've also got twins, but are really early on but both hearts are beating. I'm a FTM and was also hoping for as natural as possible, but if there's two...dunno if this "geriatric" body can hang.
