Hello Everyone!

Great to meet everyone here, especially Moms of Multiples like me. I have triplets, all boys. I love them dearly.

BTW, Helen, your twins are sooo cute.

Found out a few weeks ago that I will be having twins in September 08. I have no idea how the hell we will cope in an upstairs 1 bed flat but im sure we will manage. Any pearls of wisdom about twin pregnancy would be greatly recieved.

Congratulations! I can't think of any great pearls of wisdom other than you get loads of fuss made of you when people know you're carrying two about

You'll probably deliver before 40 weeks (mine were by planned c-section at 36+6). You'll get more scans in the later stages. If I remember right it was every 4 weeks from 20 weeks and then at some point it went to every 2 weeks which is hugely reassuring. It is possible to deliver naturally but you stand a higher chance of having a section than singleton Mummies.

Have you posted a scan pic up?

I REALLY REALLY WANT TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know that on my dads side his mum had twins....but thats about the closest I get! Im going for a scan this thursday I will be just over 6 weeks...so Ive been praying like crazy for there to be 2 inside! I know! But I would love it...seeings as I m/c my last pregy :cry1:

Those of you that have them or carrying them are really lucky! Its such a special privelege (spelling?) to be able to concieve twins! So CONGRATS SWEET PEAS!!!
