Twins - Am I the only one hoping for them?


Hi guys...

For the last few months, DH and I have been talking and I would LOVE to have twins. My RL friends think that I am nuts! (My mother thinks it's a great idea!) LOL

Am I the only one out there who is sort of hoping for them?

Just curious!

I would want fraternal. My perfect birth would be one boy and one girl.

I do have practical reasons though. We have been trying for years. I will be 28 in 2 weeks and DH is 37 so I want to have kids before we both get old!

Me too! Me too!

You're not the only one!

Twins, triplets, even quads

I always imagined I'd have a 3 or 4 children but having only started TTC 6 months ago, and as I'm already 37, I feel I may have left it a little late!

So multiples would make it all much quicker! DH and I have discussed and think 2 or 3 at once would be fab - hard work but fab!

Unfortunately there is no history of twins or more in either family so I think it's wishful thinking...

I've love twins too!

My MIL is an identical twin, so I am hoping it will run on our side!! Plus I am 37 and DH is now 45 and it would help to complete the family a little sooner!!!

Hi...

Not so much hoping for twins as thinking I am maybe going to have them.

For years I have had very vivid dreams about giving birth to twins in yellow romper suits. I have also had vivid dreams about my friends babies and on a few occassions i have been spot on(yes I know not exactly accurate)

Anyway, a few weeks back my mum called to say she had been at a "fortune teller" or psychic who had started to tell my mum about me, my job, me and fiance moving and getting married and how the wedding numbers were growing(which is all very true!!) anyhow she then went on to say is she pregnant now? NO.... well she will be soon(heres hoping!!) but I see two babies. Now my mum piped up oh nice she is going to give me two grand kids but the woman went on to say the when she sees that its usually twins. My mum then went on to tell the woman we wanted kids but it wouldnt be "soon" like the woman said as we have always told her 2-3 years to keep her off my back. I just dismissed this as my mum doesnt we were wttc and now ttc!

Oh and my friend is due twins in 4 weeks, one of each!!

Emma.xx
