Anyone has had Identical Twins, what was your experience?

Escobedo0712 · October 2014

i really need to calm my nerves! Please share
I just found out I'm having identical twins and all read is bad stuff. Please share good or bad.

MixedCurlsXo · October 2014

I'm also confused by what you mean by bad stuff? Are you referring to vanishing twin syndrome? Sorry if you're not but it's the only worry I can think of at the moment that occurs in early pregnancy w/ twins. If it is though I found this:

I hope this eases your mind

Not that it is bad but my sister is pregnant with Twins right now. The only "bad" thing is that she is now considered high risk. She is actually fine with it because all of her ultrasounds are done at the hospital instead of her obs office because they have better equipment at the hospital and she gets to have more ultrasounds then if she wasnt. Besides being extra tired she has had a perfectly fine pregnancy. She is not allowed to go past 38 weeks in terms of delivery which is different from when my mom was pregnant with me and my brother (twins) where she went 39 weeks and 6 days.

I'm 4 weeks pregnant and I'm on bed rest all ready. By bad stuff like statics for miscarriage, TTTC syndrome, and I guess many more. I just want to bring them full term. I guess I'm anxious about the whole thing. It's scary!!

dkleid · October 2014

Ive heard of bed ready early but never this early. How are you going to be able to swing that one and work? unless you are a SAHM, if so you are lucky!

Why are you on bed rest already?

Escobedo0712 · October 2014

I've been spotting.
I have 3 doctors appointment this week.
I'm using all my sick days. They been pretty understanding.

NoeliaV · October 2014

I think you'd get more helpful advice if you asked about this on the multiples board, as @penguinmg linked.

Escobedo0712 · October 2014

I'm been spotting for a week actually. No blood just brown stuff.

Escobedo0712 · October 2014

Okay thanks

Ravenclaw314 · October 2014

My dr said brown blood is considered "old" blood and is totally normal.

Escobedo0712 · October 2014

No I just got out of doctor appointment I'm 6 weeks along

Escobedo0712 · October 2014

Here they are

NoeliaV · October 2014

So is that ultrasound pic from today's visit?

dkleid · October 2014

Granted this is my first pregnancy but don't most ultra sounds have more information on them? I know with my sisters (she is pregnant with twins) it clearly points out baby a and baby b.

I hope your twins and yourself are very healthy. That said, I feel like we are about to have an example of why we didn't want a Facebook group so soon.

How does one identify identical twins this early? Pardon me for being twin-illiterate.

I'm 6 weeks along.
The ultrsound show about in another you see both a and b
A is more develop than B
What gave it out was the my HCG was 22,456.6 ( I think that the number)
But high if it were a single baby I would be 6 month along I think

Yeah in another picture I have it has number 1 and 2.
I chose this one Bc I felt that you could see them more clearly.

Yes

The doctor's visit that you just got out of around 12noon (central time, so adjust to wherever you live)?

I'll adjust it for you. 8:30 PST is 10:30 central.

Your u/s pic is from your 8:30am appointment this morning. Yet, somehow, time traveler, you were able to post the exact same u/s pic to the Multiples board at 8:11am this morning.

I'll wait for your explanation.

*** this is neverminding the fact that around 10:30am (Pacific) you were posting here and on Multiples that you had "just" gotten out of your appointment. And that you've said in several spots that your appointment is on Thursday (tomorrow), the most recent instance of which was this morning.

I was pregnant with twin boys that we lost when I was 19 weeks pregnant earlier this year and every single ultrasound pic they were labled a and b ....even the pics that just had one baby. I don't want to be the one to stir the shit pot but.....

I'm calling BS as well. My sisters 7 week u/s of her twins clearly labeled A and B. If she really had another picture wouldn't she of uploaded it to show us??

ac5008 · October 2014

The only reason this crap upsets me is because I wish I had that kind of time. Can you imagine having time to troll? I cant even keep up with being myself.

ETA: Not to mention the disgusting part of those here who have lost twins or are struggling.

Karissa764 · October 2014

I'm annoyed because I lost my twins and to me it's not something to make up. I know I'm hypersensitive to it though. I was annoyed when I saw a post she made saying identical twins run in her family...identical twins don't run in families they are a "fluke" fraternal twins run in families. The least she could do is Google some damn twin facts before she gets post happy and expects people to believe it. I'm a little cranky today. And if I'm wrong and she is having twins I have no problem eating my words and apologizing

Im incredibly sorry for your loss. It would bother me too if I had gone through something so awful!

dojo1 · October 2014

This gal has been on my radar since her intro post. Someone called her out on an inconsistent post out of the gate. We had a similar troll in my other BMB.

Also of note: https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12457751/twins#latest

Moms of Multiples laid down the science.

Escobedo0712 · October 2014

Evening ladies, my name is Billy and I'm Escobedo's husband and now that we have passed the introduction part lets get down to the point. My wife is pregnant so if anyone has an issue with what she says ya can kiss my ass, she came to board to get some help and try to understand things by talking to others with the experience. My wife is a first time mother so lay off if she's not filling all the damn blanks because we're not all perfect so most of you ladies should really ashame of your selfs talking smack or being down right stupid!!!!!!!!!!!

Karissa764 · October 2014

God I hope you people pick up a book and educate yourselves. Everything anyone has pointed out has been a flaw in your woven little story. If she is having twins then for the sake of your babies you better get it together.
When I found out I was pregnant with twins the first thing I did was read as much as I could about it. I highly suggest you do the same.

Ravenclaw314 · October 2014

Not sure if I should look away or make popcorn... :-?

Karissa764 · October 2014

I am so ready for anything they have to say back. I know my twin facts and I know these people are full of crap. If they actually are having twins I'm honestly scared for them.
Like I have previously said, I'm a little feisty when it comes to twins because of my loss. The best part is, I'm probably one of the most easy going people you will ever meet unless you have your head up your ass or you are treading on something that I take personally

dkleid · October 2014

I do find it funny that he decided to "yell" at us for just asking questions, but if you click on the multiples thread that she started (who keep in mind questioned the same things) he didnt say anything to them.

Something fishy is going on here, and I don't like the smell of it!
