Twins

Do you think you can ever handle having twins?
They run in my family..And i think about it every so often....



Is this a TTC question? Sorry if it is

Re: Twins

It would defintely be a challenge but I wouldnt mind having twins.

Re: Twins

My father's brothers are twins so I could easily have twins. My sister didn't so I might!

Re: Twins

It would be a lot to handle at once, but i'd manage.

Re: Twins

My DH's grandfather is a twin. So, there is a possibility. I am sure it will be hard but I would love it!!

Re: Twins

I talk about this with my DH all the time. When I think about it I don't think that I would be able to handle it. But in reality, you just learn that isn't that bad.


My friend had triplets and I ask her all the time, she says that it gets difficult, but she doesn't know any different (like having only one)

Re: Twins

My FIL is a twin so the odds of us having twins is good. It would be difficult but I know that we would be about to handle it. My friend has twins and she handles it really well.

Re: Twins

I think about it all the time...my father is a twin...I think I could handle it...but I probably wouldn't have any more children after that...two is a good number for me...and getting it all over in one shot sounds even better

Re: Twins

I am a twin...and being a twin is hard...growing up and trying to find your own identity. My parents were very good at letting us be our own person...they never dressed us the same (except when we were babies and people gave us gifts). Having your own friends...etc. My sister and I used to fight soooo much, but now we are really close.

ETA: The #1 question I hate being a twin...so, do you like being a twin?

I don't know what not being a twin is...so I have no frame of reference

Re: Twins

I really don't think i could handle it. My friend has twins and it is HARD!!!! ESPECIALLY GIRLS!

Re: Twins

My sister has a 3 1/2 year old boy and then twin boys that are two. I don't know how she does it on a daily basis. The twins come up with ideas and some how communicate to each other. Someone is always getting hurt.

Re: Twins

I don't think I could but it does run in my family.

Re: Twins

My Great Grandmother is a twin. They say it skips a generation but my mom and 3 brothers and 4 sisters none of them had any....so i am a little fearful

I would LOVE to have twins!

i used to too until my friend had them...O M G

Re: Twins

i REALLLLLLY want twins! really do.
my greatgrandmother had a set, i hope i have twins too.

Re: Twins

my grandmother had two sets of twins. One set fraternal and one set identical...My mom is one of the identical twins. I figure between that and the fertility drugs I am bound to have twins and I am AOK with that.

Re: Twins

I have a 10% chance of twins because I'm on Clomid, which increase your chances of multiples (3% chance of triplets!! )

I would be thrilled to have twins.

It's just a matter of time management and teamwork.....and really good drugs!!

Re: Twins

i would love to have twins- im sure it would be hard, but i have the same reservations about having a baby in general

Both SILs have twins (DHs grandfather was a twin)... so its defiantely likely. One SIL though has a 4 yr old, 3 yr old, and then twin boys that are 9 months old- Not sure if i could handle That much though

DH says if we have twins though, he hopes we get them on the first shot so we can be done

Re: Twins

triplets run my my family.
