Hi! I'm Sharon and currently 16 weeks PG with twins. Due date is 8/30, which happens to be my birthday. The past 8 weeks have been really difficult with really bad morning sickness - I even had to be admitted to the hospital for a couple of days for dehyration. starting to feel human again, but I think that's because my docotr has me taking Zofran daily, whether I feel sick or not. Look forward to sharing the upcoming months with my fellow multiple pregnant mommies and gaining some insight form the mommies who have already given birth!

Hi, I am Ali and I am expecting identical twins in September. I am going for my 12 week appointment this week. My doctor has already stated that i will be getting a c-section due to the possible complications of my type of twins.

My twins share one chrono but each have their own amniotic sac, which is common in most sets of identical twins, but my doctor said we have to watch out for TTTS after 16 weeks so he will start seeing me almost every week after that!

We are very excited and feel very blessed, but i am very nervous.

Besides exhaustion i feel decently good. I also break out on my face now (no pregnancy glow for me). No morning sickness so far though.

I look forward to chatting with you all.

Hi I'm Tracy & I am a Mommy of twin girls Fiona & Saoirse (pronounced Seer-sha) They were born on October 12th. I gave birth via c-section at 38 weeks. They were both 6lbs 4oz at birth. Very good weight & they didn't have to go to the NICU which was a blessing.

I was extremely sick in the beginning & zofron was my best friend. Do not be suprised if you have to go to the OBGYN more then singleton mommies. Do not let ANYONE make you nervous by asking "why are you going so much". With multiples they are just being cautious. (I kept hearing that ALOT)

I am here if you have any questions.

I hope you all have great easy pregnancy's & I can't wait to "meet" all the new babies come the fall!!

Not me, but identical twins are not the ones that run in families. Fraternal twins are. My doctor more or less told me identical twins happen due to a genetic mutation and they don't know why. They said there are no findings or statistics that prove that identicals run in families.

My sister has a set of boy/girl twins. So I guess twins run in the amily, although hers were the first pair.

They don't run in mine, but they do run in my DH's - although I don't think the male has much to do with it.

Hi...I'm Kim. I am PG with twins...although the doctor is concerned that baby b isn't as big as baby a. I am going next week (3/21) for another u/s and hope to see baby b catching up in growth.

Hmm...do twins run in my family? Well...I'm an identical twin...and my sister and I were the first. My mother didn't even know she was having twins until we arrived Chat Icon
