  • Congrats! I know it's hard to tell without ultrasound that it's twins but did you notice anything different between this pregnancy and your singleton pregnancy? I keep having dreams I'm having twins 😂
  • Yay!!! Us too!! We were so shocked to see it was twins. We have a 15 month old so we are also going to have our hands full! 

    @mama_katydid I feel much worse this pregnancy. Nausea and vomiting and so tired I can barely function. I had a suspicion because when I tested the test turned positive before I could even get the cap back on.

  • twins ahhh! I still can’t believe it. and same for me @mama_katydid - my HCG was doubling extremely quick. I was (am lol) so beyond nauseous and having dreams of twins. I’m going on 8 weeks and already showing. my lord!! 
  • Just found out in May 5 that we are expecting twins!! We are due December 6th, this is our first and only pregnancy. To say we are scared and nervous is an understatement, just taking it one day at a time! Congrats to you guys!!
  • I’m a first time mom here and just found out we are having twins. I’m due December 25 (40 weeks) but I’m assuming that will be earlier since it is twins.
    I have moments of complete excitement where I can’t picture this experience without the twins and moments of complete anxiety. Of miscarriage, of how is my body is going to handle this, how can I possibly give these two little beings everything they need.

    This weekend I tested positive for COVID so that doesn’t help the anxiety so any tips are appreciated.
  • We just got our first ultrasound today and lo and behold TWINS! This is our first pregnancy and we’re shocked but so excited. Due date is Dec. 22, though of course we expect sooner.

    Hi all! We are also expecting twins! I’m a first time mom so I’m still processing everything but very excited. Our due date is dec. 25
  • we got to see both babes today - measuring 9w and heartbeat(s) on point! is anyone else just so tired? I toss and turn all night! i’m exhausted by 8pm when we put our 3 year old to bed then, pass out myself  
  • here’s our side by side ultrasound at 9w 1d ♥️
  • Any other twin moms starving ALL.THE.TIME?! 
    I am 10 weeks today. Feeling nauseous also ALL THE TIMe. I snack what feels like all day. Wondering if this changes through trimesters or what. But I cannot believe how hungry I am constantly 
  • fortunately I don’t have this problem yet unless I do twin research before I go to bed. Then my mind starts spinning. Otherwise I’m sleeping well
  • I’m always hungry, nauseous, and tired. Apparently we feel everything twice as hard because our bodies are going through more changes more quickly. I’m looking forward to the second trimester and having less nausea and more of an appetite. All I can eat is fruit, cereal, and cheese.

    Hi fellow twin moms! Have you/what week are you all starting to see a bump? I’m 10 weeks and still don’t feel like I have any signs of a bump starting
  • Hi! We found out we’re having TWINS, due Dec. 20th! We are over the moon but so nervous! We have a 2 year old so we will have 3 under 3!! We did some genetic testing and also opted to find out the genders. Has anyone else found out their twins’ genders early??
  • @karlijanae congratulations!! I just did NIPT testing this week and likely to get results next week. shocked you can do genetic testing for fraternal twins now! 
  • Hey guys! I found out the news a little bit ago but haven’t thought about looking at the group chat for anyone in a similar situation! My partner and I are expecting twins!! This is my first pregnancy and I’m so beyond thankful to have two on my first go!! Sometimes I think there is a third hiding but I know I’m just crazy at this point haha. I did somehow know it was going to be twins though and everyone kept telling me it was unlikely until my first ultrasound 😂 due December 20th. I’m so happy! They seem like they will be the same gender and identical from the ultrasounds and they share a placenta! Any other people with potentially identical twins? 
  • welp… twin boys! NIPT results are in at 12 weeks!


  • @rhodymama22 Congratulations! We just got our results today and both boys as well! Did your test show the fetal fraction amounts detected? Ours said 5.2% and 3.7% —I’m wondering if that’s a low amount or normal?
  • I really can’t change my name on here and I’m sorry because I know that means it’s hard to tell who I am but I just am technically speaking unable to fix it. Anywhoooo I found out I’m having two identical boys and I’m very happy. I had a Subchorionic hematoma this last week and I’m very nervous about what that means. I have to fly home tomorrow and I’m just so nervous. I can’t wait to just get home and be on bed rest. Any prayers for my babies and my anxiety would be so appreciated. This is my first pregnancy and it’s been very scary trying to make sure I do this right. Lots of love to everyone who is pregnant with me 💕
  • I’ve been feeling so much of this anxiety as well, first time mom with twins too. Sending love your way, we will get through this no matter what! (I can’t change my name here and I’m sorry I’ll just sign my posts I think from here so -Brittblue)
