I was browsing some old pictures from the old boxes that I have to transfer to a new one. And I saw pictures of my twin children. I have them 2x but unfortunately I lost the 3 of them. My first baby was a twin boy but I have a miscarriage when they are 5 months in my womb. The 2nd twin I have is a girl and a boy but I also lost the boy at the age of 2 years old because of leukemia. But her twin sister Ann who also here in myLot but not that much active this time because of work. She is already 21 years old now and have a son. The time I give birth to them I was so happy that I have an instant 2 children at one time birth. It is hard to took care of them but the joy they bring to us is different.

Wow! congratulations! Even though you were not able to hold them in your arms, but the fact that they were given to you... it was still amazing. A lot of couples are wishing to get pregnant with twins too but was or is not blessed to have it.

I always joked I'd like to have twin brother someday. Sort of like in a telenovela. Now recently my wish sort of came true not because I do have a twin brother but because I do have two brothers and a sister I never met before. I also thought of having twin children of my own, hopefully it happens but I know the chances of that are very slim.

When I was a kid, I used to wish I had a twin. The idea seemed pretty cool to me. When I grew up, I realized it's not cool because having someone who looks exactly like me doesn't seem good. But if my twin is a boy and I'm a girl, that's okay.

Yea sometimes if both girls or boys are the same, rivalry can't avoid.

I actually have to admit that I was never one of the people that fantasized about having twins, that is something that my little sister has always wanted. You see, my best friend has twin daughter that are three years old now and though I believe that Kate and Claire are absolutely adorable, I don't desire to have two children that are the same age. The closest that I've ever come is that my son and my niece are two months apart and I did keep my nieces when they were younger, so it was like I had a seven year old, two three year olds and a one year old. Talk about a lot of work.

In the past I didn't want to have a twin. Because it was very tired to take care of two children at the same time, especially when they didn't feel well. You have to spend a lot of time for them. Now I have a different opinion. It is nice to have a twin because you can have two children at the same time and you don't have to get pregnant again. It sounds to be very convenient and efficient:) I love China

i never thought you have twins, well maybe because we don't talk too much. oh, sorry to hear that you lost them... i know the advantages and disadvantages of having a twin brother or sister. but i never wished i had one. actually, i have a twin sister in the office. we have an eleven years gap. we share the same birthdays and we celebrate our birthdays together, every year, since we met about 5 years ago.

I never wanted to be a twin and I definitibly did not want to have twins. I was very young when I had my chidren and one child at a time, even with help, was all I could manage.

I guess its not easy to have a twin in the family though probably i wished to have it if i have a husband and that both of us have high paying job then ill go for it as we know we have money to support them all the way in giving them good education or giving them good life. Its better to have twins at least there's no need for me to carry another 9 months and give birth for another baby. In my case, my daughter is already enough as my salary is only enough for her and for us and if ever i have extra money then ill just save it for her future. Your right that looking our baby either one one twins is really rewarding as no matter how hard and tired life is we still manage to smile if we saw them.

Sacrifice to both parents and children having a unexpected twins in the family the money that supposed to be on one will be divided into two. My daughter is still lucky even we lost her twin brother, we gave her a nice future.

I have a twin sisters who are now both married. Taking good care of twin babies is not easy as I still can remember how my mother would panic every time they get sick. That is if one get sick the other one will surely follow hours later. However there are also pleasant experiences in having twin daughters in a family particularly the puzzled expression of visitors who are unaware of a twin in the family whenever they will suddenly come face to face with the other twin after meeting somebody who looks almost exactly the same moments ago and likewise the confusion of some in identifying if who is who.

Yhea I agree when the one got sick surely the other one will also be sick. As you can see in the picture they are not identical. The visitors only recognize them twins only with the same dress.

No I wouldn't want twins it's not fun having twins. I have many mom friends that have twins and its very hard because yes it's twice the world with a child the same age and really can't get them to much different because then the other one always wants the same thing. But I have a 19 month old and a 2 week old so that is as close to age as I want my kids to get.

yeah at one time i did wish to have twins but after seeing the problems faced by the twins when they turn to be joint at some points, the twins really suffer alot. So now I would not want a twins and my thinking to having twins has changed because it is not always happy moments. It can turn into disaster also. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

I want siblings but never wanted a twin, lol! While at first I welcome the idea, I'm actually glad that I didn't have one because I don't think I'll be able to contain my competitive nature. But when my sibling is older or younger than I am, I tend to be even more loving. I don't, know, I guess I'm just wired differently lol!

I don't have sibling that's why I don't know the feeling to be a younger or older than them. But If I have I wish to be younger than them.

I never even thought of wishing for a sister, and i think even more so with a twin sister. :D it could be nice, though now that we have this topic, well i think i am thinking about it now, what if i did have a twin and so on... but then maybe i just won't know how it is like to have a sister.

It didn't happened that they grew up together too because her brother passed away that young. But when they are still a baby I already saw that they love each other.

Sorry about your loss babes Twins runs in our family. My grandfather has a twin. I have numerous cousins who are twins. Actually, the twins in our family mostly are identical twins. It will give you hard time to distinguish who is who. When I am pregnant, I really wish to have twin child, but I was not lucky to have one. I am still thankful, imagine having twins who are bully

I'm sorry for your loss. But I know your kids are in heaven now. I always dreamed of having a twin brother. I think it's really fun if you always have that someone beside you. You go to same school, dress alike and protect each other. And when you grow up and grow old, he or she would still be your best friend. How I wish I really have a twin.

I think that's what twins almost do.
