Twins

PDXGal7868 · January 2011

I'm curious if anyone is hoping for twins? For some reason, I always dream about having twins and I kind of long for it. Although I cannot imagine how hard that would be, especially since I already have a toddler. It makes me tired just thinking about it.

I would love twins! Realistically I don't know how we'd handle it, but we would find a way I'm sure.

brookelynpaisley · January 2011

Actually, yes. My perfect scenario would be boy/girl twins and be done with it

FyreFry5 · January 2011

I would LOVE to have twins! One can dream, right?

this!!

Kathy4678 · January 2011

Yep. Since we're doing IVF- would love to put two in and get two healthy babes. It will be financially difficult to do any treatment after having children.

This is exactly what H wants. He thinks it would be great to do the years of not sleeping only one time, but still get our two kids.

Twins do not run in either of our families, so it is not likely to happen.

Hoax · January 2011

I am a twin myself and have heard how hard it was for my parents etc growing up. I don't really want them since I already have a toddler but if it happens, I guess I'll be fine with it.

Kelly4evr · January 2011

I have been a nanny for two sets of twins and even after all that I still think it would be amazing to have multiples

CuteBride8808 · January 2011

We want 4 kids, so I always dreamed of having two sets of twins ...that would be perfect! You get 4 for the price of 2,so to speak.

alison2379 · January 2011

I would love to have twins!!! One pregnancy, two babies, done and done! I keep hoping.... MH is a twin and I know it has nothing to do with it, but I hope anyways. Embarrassed

DoubleBubble08 · January 2011

Twins would be a lot of work but fun!

My friend has a miscarraige and then got pregnant with twins shortly after. It is strange how that works out.

Jing22 · January 2011

I would also be done if I had twins so I would totally be thrilled!

HazelBee22 · January 2011

I would love twins! DH has already asked if I could try and keep it to one baby at a time, lol. His sister has twins and he got to experience first hand how much work two babies at once can be. The work doesn't matter to me, it would be wonderful to have two babies Big Smile

tosh24 · January 2011

Since we're now starting treatments, DH and I have talked about the possibility of twins. He has always wanted twins. After doing the newborn thing with one child, I can only imagine how i.n.s.a.n.e it must be with twins, but I want them anyway.

Also, if we had twins, it would mean that I get to be a SAHM - we definitely couldn't afford to pay for 3 kiddos in daycare/before-and-after school care.

brandywine2010 · January 2011

I think we would enjoy twins. I have often dreamed about having twins. DH and I have discussed it extensively and we know that it would be a challenge, but a challenge we'd be willing to tackle.

UofMWolverines · January 2011

DH and I are in agreement that we would really rather *not* have twins. We would like to have more than one child but two at the exact same time seems pretty daunting. I'm taking Clomid currently so we know that there's a chance of twins. We've agreed that if it (twins) happens, we'll manage it and of course, will fall in love with both babies... but frankly, we're hoping it doesn't!

HappyAardvark · January 2011

If I found out I was having twins, I would have to become an atheist... that's how I know there either a) is no God, or b) He hates me.

nursemama2be · January 2011

I would love to have twins. I have twin nieces and they are amazing. But at this point I would be happy just to get pregnant.

AndBabyWouldMake5 · January 2011

At my last few OB/GYN appts we have been discussing Clomid and twins always comes up. the Dr. feels like he needs to warn us since he and his wife have twins due to IF meds ... DH and I think it would be awesome to end this journey with one or two bundles of love!

HeatherMichele · January 2011

Whenever I go in for an u/s at my RE's the screen is always on and the last picture from the woman before me is always up. Twice I've sat down, looked over and seen babies in the pictures. The first was a single and the second time it was twins. I couldn't help but feel like the twin u/s looked so much more complete and full than the first one.

Ever since that day I've been hoping for twins. Maybe it's because I already have a DD [that took 20 months ttc] and am having trouble getting pregnant this time as well. I'm not sure I want to go through this for a third pregnancy. So twins this time would be great.

Like the PP said... Only time will tell!

boymamaco · January 2011

We would love twins! Since we are just starting treatments we are hoping that it will happen to us. My great aunts on my mother's side of the family are twins, but not sure that would help out at all. (Mother's fathers aunts.)

SteFizzRich · January 2011

I would love twins. My husband and I talk about it a lot actually. Twins are in both of our families so we think it would be really awesome to add to the trend. The thought seems overwhelming, especially since we live in a 1 BR in NYC. We could fit one crib in our apartment without having to move for a bit, but two... I don't think so. It would mean a lot of rearranging, but we would make it work if we were blessed with two.

Right now, I'd be happy just to have a BFP for one!

StephK · January 2011

I would actually love to have twins. MH and I would love two kids, a boy and a girl, but we waited longer to TTC (and it is taking longer than we thought), so who knows if we'll have time since I am about to turn 35. I know it is twice the work, but we have lots of family. We have twins in both of our families, but I don't know what the odds are.

I'll be happy with whatever we get, but twins would be great!

purplepolish · January 2011

We would love them! We want two very close together anyway.

Lambie. · January 2011

I would have been fine with it the first time around. If I got pregnant now with twins and had three under two I would probably have a breakdown. We have no family nearby and no help and DH works at least sixty hours a week (I'm out of the house for work about 50-55 but we'd have to reevaluate that). I don't know how I'd manage, mentally.

mego36 · January 2011

MH has always wanted twins.

I'll take whatever we can get?

salt78 · January 2011

Whatever happens happens, but I would really rather not have twins. H and I are in agreement that we only want one child.

MrsNash37212 · January 2011

Double the amount of crying and diapers? Did I mention double the amount of crying? No thanks.

faydre · January 2011

Dh has this multiples thing in his head he jokes about triplets but he'd really like twins.. However, I cant imagine how tough it'd be physically, mentally , finically, to have two at once. I'll be happy with whatever I can get!

forensicmama · January 2011

Having had one child, I have to say that you're insane! As twins would be a total blessing, I would never wish for twins!

JenOSU03 · January 2011

I would love to have twins. I have taught several sets (or at least one twIn) every yeear. They are so much fun! I am a little nervous since there are more risk involved with twins during pregnancy etc. I think the first few months would be stressful too, taking care of two infants who might/probably will eat,sleep, and cry at different times. But all of it would be worth it. Also, we want two kids-- so I would be one an done especially since ttc is taking longer than I expected.

Proud adoptive mom 6.11.09 · January 2011

We would love twins. I am a twin myself. my younger brother and sister are twins (my mom had 2 sets) my husbans family down line was a twin (think was his great grandma) and were starting fertiltiy treatments

meganruns · January 2011

Twins would be awesome. I've always wanted them, but they don't really run in either my or DH's family, so who knows? I agree though, OP, it would be tiring!

missfire · January 2011

If you want twins, save your money now, and check your insurance coverage very carefully! This pregnancy has cost about $50,000 so far (and we didn't need fertility treatments), I have at least 4 doctor appointments a week, and I can't count the number of times I have driven home in tears being warned that we may lose one or both of the babies. I'm getting close now, and things are looking pretty good, but this is nothing like the peaceful, simple pregnancy I had with my DS.

For those of you having a difficult time conceiving - I wish you the happiest, healthiest pregnancies full of nothing but joy!

FabulousMrs.P · January 2011

Before infertility I would have said no. Now that it is taking us so long to conceive, I'd be okay with twins. Then I don't have to go through the TTC process yet. I know it would be a LOT of work and I am not sure how exactly we would do it, but we'd make it work!
