TWIN OVERLOAD

[lovelivelaugh]

Hi, oh my God were do I start.

Well I am a twin and I have 2 sets of twin brothers as well. (All non identical).My DH is a twin ( but his brother died at birth)

I have had a single birth(DD age 6) and 2 sets of twins( DS's ages 4 and 2) and I'm now pregnant again and guess what its TWINS!!

Anybody else have twins run this strongly in there family.

Sorry, that's all I could muster. I am speechless by all those twins, especially all yours!

I have not a single word of advice as have no experience, but huge congratulations on your pregnancy.

Oh, and another for good measure

Wow. Not sure if to congratulate or if you're in state of shock... Maybe you should get a reality tv show on board!
Congratulations! I truly believe none if us are sent anything we can't cope with. Sounds like your children will grow up in a very special family - lucky them!

Thanks everyone. And yea a definite state if shock. But can not contain my excitement at the same time. I just hope for girls to even it out a little lol.

Do any of your have twins? I think twins are easier don't you?

Lovelivelaugh - wow!!

7 babies, 6 of them twins - amazing but slightly daunting at the same time! Congratulations - it's very exciting.

I have 8 month old twin girls and an older ds too - I can't say this stage is particularly easy but Hoping the toddler stage will be when they can play together etc.

bloody hell, congratulations! :)

twins run in my family my great gran had 3 sets of twins, two non identical, one identical :) i have 5, no twins tho, they did scan me very carefully to check as non identical twins have a tendency to be genetic.

congratulations and hope you have a smooth pregnancy and all goes well :)

I think I'm quiet lucky as I have never had morning sickness EVER!! My feet are starting to swell now but that's it really. I've had both sets of twins 2 weeks early so I think this one might be the same. They could only tell me that one of them was a girl yesterday. What do you think of the names

If a boy and girl:: Timothy and helen

If 2 girls:: Helen and Hannah

We have a
Zarah
Matthew
Jonathan
Richard
Michael

no morning sickness! wow i didnt throw up with my pregnancies and wasnt too sick for the first four but for no 5 i felt sick the whole 9mths,she is my only girl tho, the first 4 were boys so maybe that was why?

like Timothy, the only Helens i know are adult women, so its certainly no a popular name at the moment which is always good! Hannah is lovely as well.

if you are looking for names beginning with H what about Heather? again not massively popular at the moment?

you seem to like traditional, slightly old fashioned names?

Yea never had morning sickness just really strange cravings like banana and mustard butties, ice cream and ketchup, and chicken and chocolate just to name a few

Yea were do like traditional names considering were both on 24 were not set on a letter but just want something nice my mum has just suggested Michelle and Michael or Michelle and Diane

I just don't no lol

eww i craved raw celery and carrots, carrs water biscuits and pickles onions, i ate thos elittle silverskin pickled onions by the jar full!

Lmao eww. I think cravings are silly. Lol

My granny was a g/b twin, and had g/g and b/b siblings, along with 6 other siblings. One of the singletons went on to have 2 daughters, both of which had twins (b/b and b/g). I have had b/b twins. All are non id.

Not quite as many as your family, but there are certainly a twin streak in our family

WOW! You said upthread the names of your children including michael but then suggest that as a name for one of your current twins?!

I meant to write Mitch but I'm using my mobile and it has predictive text and obviously changed and I didn't notice

Ah that makes more sense :) I thought maybe a 3rd twin pregnancy had given you massive baby brain and maybe you thought 2 michaels was a good idea

I have 2 sets of twins and a singleton - the only reason I would want to get pregnant again would be to see if it was twins again lol

There are no twins in the family and I have identical girls and non identical boys :-)

No no one Micheal is enough lol..... i would have more after these twins but I do t think we have the room we are rapidly running out of space and we have a 6 bed room house lol.

Wow, you weren't joking in your post title!! That is a lot of twins. Congratulations

wow, amazing!

I thought our family history was strong! I think dd will def end up with twins, she is a twin, her dad was a twin, and both his parents were twins.

hang on, no dd isnt a twin, she has twin siblings! losing the plot.

Though it was wondered about a bit, because i had a heavy bleed in early pg, and they thought I had lost one.

CONGRATULATIONS! And...WOW! I have two sets of twins myself and think you maybe deserve some sort of medal....
