Dreams about twins

savannah8992000 · August 2012

I was four weeks when I first found out I was pregnant, and I kept on having dreams that is was twins. I just figured it was normal for a first time mom to think that and just laughed about it, but then at 8 weeks we found out the amazing news! I am pregnant with twins! Twins do not run in my family, and I had no reason to think that I would have them.

Probably just coincidence, but I'm wondering if anybody else that is pregnant with twins had that same gut feeling, or even dreams about it before they knew?

I didn't find out I was having twins until 20 weeks, and at 10 weeks I had a dream I had twin boys and was trying to nurse them. I told my husband and sister the next day, "Can you imagine how AWFUL that would be? Glad it's not us!"

Yeah. God has a sense of humor.

I know it sounds completely silly, but I've always been convinced that my last pregnancy would be twins.... since I was very young. My mother is an identical twin - nothing that I would have inherited... I just always had that delusion that I was going to have twins. Turned out that my delusion became a reality. I went into our 6w ultrasound almost expecting to see the two bubbles. When the tech didn't say anything at first, I assumed that my extra bubble was just some kind of weird pocket. But when she finally went and changed that "fetus number" drop down to "2", I felt that absurd confirmation of intuition. I never had any dreams about them, tho.

The weirdest dreams I've had this pregnancy have been me smoking/drinking/taking meds... I am just lucid enough in my dreams to know that I'm not really using any of those substances, but out of it enough that I feel a bit guilty about it until I wake up and confirm I haven't been poisoning the babies. I think it's my brain's way of attempting to induce the chemical relaxation that those drugs create, so that I can possibly get more effective sleep. Our biology does some pretty amazing stuff like that.

Yes, I agree... I might have referred to them as nightmares at the time. But I'm very excited about it now... and wondering how you do it.

I know that it's an unpopular point of view but for what it's worth I have been sure that I would have twins since I was a child. My mom is an identical twin and although I now realize that it has nothing to do with my likelihood of having twins I think that it's what had my convinced that I would. We were actually pretty certain that I had suffered a miscarriage and went to the doctor to have it confirmed and that's when we found out there were two and I somehow knew all along that that was what they were going to say.

The world works in mysterious ways!

I have the same dreams about drinking! I feel so guilty for dreaming about it... but I never thought of it like that. Our minds are an amazing thing.

It's good to know that others had that same feeling, and it came true!

Before I knew I had a dream I was had twin girls. This is probably because I started showing early and was gaining weight quickly so my mom jokingly said "maybe it's twins?". I think I this in my subconcious. However I didn't really believe it until we 2 on the u/s screen. I had another dream later that they were girls so I completely thought they were girls until we knew for sure. That dreamed turned out wrong since they are very much boys.

Years and years ago my mother went to a psychic that told her one of her kids would have twins (she has since forgotten that completely)...that was the first thing that popped in my mind when the dr said there were two. No dreams though (unleaa i dreamt that my mom told.me.about the psychic, which is actually possible.considering how vivid and realistic my dreams can be). I DID have a feeling about it though, but it was one of those things i only voiced to my bf and dh once before we knew (it feels AWish to me to say such things unless confirmed).

I didn't have any dreams, but I think somewhere deep down I knew. I used to watch Make Room for Multiples religiously. Then after my BFP I couldn't bring myself to watch it anymore, like it was going to jinx me or something...

We had a dating ultrasound scheduled for what ended up being 9 weeks, and the night before I was petrified. DH was like, "why aren't you excited, we get to see the baby tomorrow!" My response, and I quote... "what if there's something wrong with it... or what if it's twins???"

So I guess on some level I already knew Stick out tongue

My grandma prayed for twin boys every time I got pregnant. She died of stage 4 colon cancer when I was pregnant with Claire. It was truly devastating, as she and I were truly the best of friends. I have been barely coping since then.

On their 50th wedding anniversary, I realized I'd been super emotional (like homicidal emotional) for over a week and thought, "I'm pregnant, and if it's April 22nd, it's twin boys." I told my DH before I took a test that we were expecting twins and he totally blew me off.

And here we are. :-)

Don't discount that mama instinct - most of the time there's plenty of credibility to it!

I went through IVF to get my twins but my chances of getting pregnant period were slim to none. Before my 2nd of 3 cycles I had the most amazing vivid dream that we were at my grandfathers house on easter and my husband was holding 2 beautiful baby girls with red dress and red flowers in their hair. It was the kind of dream you pinch yourself when you wake up. I held onto that dream in my darkest most depressed moments during my IF struggles. Ironically we are buying my grandfathers house and will be moving just in time for easter! Let the red dress shopping begin. I will definetly be taking a picture of that and telling my girls how I dreamed about them before they were even created.

The week I ovulated I had a dream I had twins and it was boy/girl. I couldn't believe it when I found out I was having twins. Now I'll be interested to see if it's boy/girl like the dream.

I don't know where it came from but I always knew I would have a son and then twin girls. I got close I had my boy and twin girls plus a bonus boy in my triplets. I have no idea where it came from but It was true for us. As for dreams I did not have any except for dreams of losing them.

I didn't have a dream,just a strong feeling. I told DH,my BFF, and mentioned it in passing before my first appointment at 6w4d where it wa in fact, confirmed.

I also had a dream about our b/g twins right after we got our BFP. It was a little bit of a weird dream but it turned out to be correct.

I had tons of twin dreams during the first tri. They were all the same. I gave birth and the dr. said, "There's two!" It wasn't something that even crossed my mind when I was pg with my son. I told DH and a few close friends about it. Despite all that, I was still shocked at my 20 week ultrasound.
