| Any pregnancy would do to be honest, but to be told that I was expecting twins would be awesome. I would be terrified of course and worried about how I would manage them ... it's bad enough thinking about how I will share my lap between one baby and my cat. My cat is a little bit 'attached' to me because I have ruined him quite frankly.
There are twins in every generation on my Dad's side of the family. His uncle had twins; one of his sister's has twins and his niece has just had twins. This indicates to me that the gene is being passed down this side of the family. I am also 46, so am definitely in the older age bracket that so often produces them. You just never know. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Me too I'm dead set on twins too!
Two psychics have told me I'll have twin boys and then a girl. I've got twins all over my family, so it is possible. I'm just recovering from a MC though, so was worried that might have been my little twins been and gone, but I'm holding out hope.
To be honest, I'm just after any baby(ies) that can get themselves growing and hang on in there now, but twins is still my little dream. (Although would financially kill me!)

I'm Currently Feeling: | Twins would be great, but are very hard work.
My sister has identical twin girls, i was a fraternal twin as was my mums sister. As identical twins don't run in families, but fracternal twins do, my sister got told at the hospital that if she has another child it's a good chance they will be fraternal twins or if she has a sister (that's me) it is likely that she will!! I've always been obsessed by twins and did my dissertation on them at uni- maybe it's something to do with me once having been pat of a twinset. it was great when my sister had the girls, but a very worrying pregnancy and early days. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I would.. DH is petrified that we'll have twins! Unfortunately there is a history of the "disappearing twin" in my Mum's side of the family, but none that have actually survived as far as I know. |
