Hi ladies-I never thought I would be up here, but we got quite a shock on Monday afternoon at our ultrasound.  Twins!  I can't believe it-I am seven weeks, and they have both have nice strong heartbeats.

Here I thought-oh, this is DC #2 (DD is 18 months old), so I will have a much better sense of things this time around.  Not anymore!  I am excited, but I am scared, too.  Any words of advice?  If your twins were not your first DCs, how was your twin pregnancy different from a singleton?  TIA!

    I LOVE the title of your post LOL!! Congrats and welcome to the board. Go out and get yourself a copy of Dr. Luke's When You Are Expecting Twins, Trips or Quads. This is my 2nd pregnancy and so far the only difference is that I am bigger in the belly and have more aches and pains than I remember with DS and I eat a lot more.

    Congrats!  Twins were definitely a surprise to us- my DD was about 13 mos when we found out there were two in there!  My singleton pregnancy was a complete breeze, so this one has definitely had more challenges.  But, it will be twice as rewarding!  The biggest difference has just been how nervous I have been the whole time- worrying about two makes you twice as anxious!  As pp said, read some good books, and talk to your OB about how s/he will treat you differently.  Look into or ask about seeing someone in MFM/perinatology.  And- rest!  Twin pregnancies make you twice as tired!  Best of luck and congrats on your two miracles!

    Congrats! So far, I am much bigger sooner, and my morning sickness has been much more intense than it was my first time around.

    Congratulations!! After the shock settles it gets really exciting. This is my first pregnancy but I did not find out I was having twins until 21 weeks. You will have your hands full with an 18 month old but I think you will have lots of fun too! Congrats again!

    Congrats and welcome!  I was suprised by the "shock of a lifetime 'it's twins' ultrasound" at 9 weeks and am still in shock most days!  My DS is 15 months old now and my twin pregnancy has been suprisingly similar to my singleton pregnancy.  I had no m/s with twins but had a bit with DS.  I have had horrible round ligament pain with both.  I have started to slow down a lot earlier with the twins and am also feelign more BH contrax.  Other than than, though, very similar.  Good luck and hope to hear from you on the board!
