Have 3 and 4 year old boy and girl and was hoping for another girl and boy as the twins are non identical so there was a chance they could be. Preferred girl and boy as I thought that would be more balanced all round. Tests revealed two boys so got my head around that. Read book as I thought it would be helpful and I found it quite negative when it talks about safety, own identity issues and also that after identical twins, twin boys are most likely to have behavoural difficulties. Instead of feeling warm and loving when I think about them (am 19wks) or when I feel them moving, I am really filled with dread at what I am in for. I just want the preg to be over with so I can meet them, fall in love with them and have my fears allayed. I am very happy to be preg (it took a long time) but am worried. The book is called 'Twins & Multiple Births' by Dr Carol Cooper and assisted by TAMBA. I don't know if anyone has read this and felt the same as me and if they could recommend something better to read?
I know that twins are tiring, I am all geared up for that but would really like to hear POSITIVE stories of having non identical twin boys please.
Please..............!!!!!!!!!! Thank you.
