I've been for my twelve week scan... there's two heart beats.

There's two of the buggers!

So help me, I already have one... I don't know whether to cry from happiness or fear.

Does/will anyone else have three under three?

Congratulations! Just think of all the ‘should I have a third DC’ angst you’ve saved Grin

I have no advice but as I have no experience of twins, I am a bit envious.

We aren't sure yet but I'm feeling more pregnant than I did first time round.

Twins run in hubby side.

Twins triplets and quads run in mine.

Fucking five a side football team second go and we both get the snip!

😂😂😂😂

Wishing you the Best, has partner recovered from the concussion from his nose dive?

Twins are ace, but hard work. Congratulations! They were my first —and last— so I don’t know about the oldest sibling, but my cousin had one, then twins and she’s doing just grand :)

Bah hah! You are me ten months ago. My b/g twins are five weeks old and so I have three under three and a five year old.

So many congratulations. It is really hard but they are so cute and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

Gunpowder · 03/01/2018 22:34

Sorry meant to say I have a 2 year old too. Got lost somewhere.

Elmosmum · 03/01/2018 22:34

Awwww that's lovely Smile I'm a twin and it's brilliant. I'm 9 weeks and feel massive so am thinking it could be twins too.... Confused

SoftlyCatchyMonkey1 · 03/01/2018 22:35

Twins are awesome!!! Lucky you!

gryffen Shock

You are me - see my username. I was in shock for days. DS will be 20 months when the girls are born. DH didn't speak a word for 3 days. Nothing in either family, a complete mindfuck of a surprise. I was so so sick from early on that I had joked it was twins. Ha ha, joke's on me!!

Do you know what type you're having? How are you feeling? Hang in there and give yourself time. We're very happy now - due in May.

Didiplanthis · 03/01/2018 22:40

That was me 5 years ago. I had 3 under 2 ! I'm still here !!! But I did cry for about 6weeks after finding out then Sort Of went into denial on the principle of I will deal with it when they are here !!

Rebeccaslicker · 03/01/2018 22:42

Amazing news Smile

marthastew · 03/01/2018 22:42

No advice but congratulations! I have three (no twins though) and it's hard work, bonkers and wonderful.

InvisibleToEveryone · 03/01/2018 22:46

My neighbour moved next door with identical twin girls.

Split with their dad.

Met someone new, had a single boy.

Then identical twin girls again!

Then a surprise single boy!!

PenelopePickle · 03/01/2018 22:48

Congratulations! I’m expecting our twins next month and will have 5 under 5 Shock I did have 3 under 3 at one point and it isn’t as scary as it seems, you’ll be fine Smile

Gunpowder · 03/01/2018 22:48

Congrats to you too willi

Gunpowder · 03/01/2018 22:48

Ooh and Penelope!

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 03/01/2018 22:49

Twins are amazing! I’ve known someone to have 2 under 2 and find herself pregnant with twins and cope just fine! You will too! Flowers

ItsNachoCheese · 03/01/2018 22:51

Congratulations

villainousbroodmare · 03/01/2018 22:52

Bg twins due in May, when DS will be nearly 3. Also in trepidation but happy... No other way I'd achieve 3 kids probably. Start taking industrial quantities of iron now. Buggers have sucked me dry.

ivenoideawhatimdoing · 03/01/2018 22:55

Thank you all for the support!

DH opened whiskey the second he got home and whenever he tries to speak his voice cracks and he just gives up and returns to his rocking position on the floor.

I occasionally stroke DS with detached fondness and weep

There's no twins on either side so it's such a shock.

All I can think is Christ please don't be three boys! Grin I'd die

I had 4 in 4 and I’d do it all again tomorrow. Congratulations.

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 03/01/2018 23:01

Oh gorgeous!!!!!! Congratulations OP!!

AdoraBell · 03/01/2018 23:02

Congrats, twins are fab. I can’t comment on the 3 under 3 yrs as I only have the two twins.

ScottishJaggyNettle · 03/01/2018 23:05

Congratulations!
Btw : Identical twins are just chance and not hereditary.
Fraternal twins can run in families because if you release two eggs any female's in your family may be the same.

nickyplustwo · 03/01/2018 23:07

I didn't have any other children when I had twins, so not the same situation but I wanted to say that as hard work as it will be, it definitely has some advantages. Everyone will think you are awesome. Hardly anyone dares offer 'helpful' advice. It's brilliant to watch how different and similar they are. Twins clubs are usually a great place to feel normal and make mates in similar situations to you. And so much more. I hope your pregnancy goes well.
