Hi everyone, I'm expecting identical twins on 31st August. If anyone else is due around that time get in touch, we can compare symptoms Smile x

Hi I'm expecting id twins end of may (hopefully). Is the 31st your original due date or hospital changed one? I'm struggling with this pregnancy, already have 3 little darlings to look after and I'm freaking huge already. Can't believe how different twin pregnancy can differ from singleton. Hope you're fairing better.

I'm having my official dating scan on Wednesday so they should give me my proper due date then. How many weeks are you now you must be over 20 weeks. Can't believe you've got three already and expecting twins, this is my first and I'm terrified so can't imagine how your feeling. At least you kinda already know what to expect and your already in routines etc. do you know whether it's boys or girls yet? I can't wait to find out x x

I'm 21+6 today. Knowing what to expect is what's frightening the life out of me. The shock is slowly wearing off and it's just practical things that are baffling me, like if they are both crying who do you go to first or do you pick a favorite lol. We think they are girls my poor ds will have 2 girls either side of him.

Hi, well I had my first scan yesterday and got the shock of my life when they discovered two bobbing around in there! This is my first pregnancy so i'm extremely nervous too, but absolutely ecstatic! My due date is 29 August but the midwife said is highly unlikely that i'll go full term...wow! Fun times ahead :-)

Slightlyinsane I cant believe you have 3 already, now that's scary! You're very blessed! How has this pregnancy compared to your others? I have been pretty much house bound from about 5 weeks but thought I was being slightly pathetic because ive had nothing to compare it too.

Hi there,
Can I join in? I'm due 25th August and already have 2 boys so had the biggest surprise at the scan! ! Don't quite know whether to laugh or cry but mainly delighted! ! Wow 3 already. .. Do u have lots of support?
Trying to imagine how to deal with all 4 needing me and feeling guilty already towards my boys who will no doubt be left to their own devices a lot.
Think the twins will have to learn to be adaptable and wait for things!

Hi, I'm expecting identical twins too. I'm 13+4, due 8 September, meaning these will most likely be August babies. I have a 2.5 y-o DS, so will have a gap of three years and a bit.

Congratulations! Are you going to find out what you're having? I guess you only have 2 possibilities- with being identical. Think mine are pretty sure to be fraternal but still a small chance of being identical. Have you been doing lots of reading? It's so interesting as well as amazing and terrifying, but am now over the shock I think!

Hi everyone, I had a scan and one twin was lying with his bits flashing so we found out were having two boys. How's everyone's bumps coming along. Mine feels like it's just sprouted out of nowhere this week I'm 16 weeks. Has anyone felt any movement yet? X x

I wouldn't take it for granted that they are boys. Our scan at 17wks the consultant was sure they were boys, were actually having girls. I'm nearly 26 wks and cant believe how flipping big I am, wondering how I'm going to cope for another 11wks.
