How would you react to borne twins within your womb?

I actually have good chance to have twins, my mother and my aunt are twins, so I might have twins too. I think i would be happy, but it would be scary too. It's rather hard to raise two small kids. Better for the kids though and in the future better for me as there is a better chance that they will not be selfish. I woudl just have to get over the idea that it will be hard and enjoy all the other benefits of having two beautiful babies that would bring much happiness and light to my family.

i can answer this as to not what my action would be but what my action was...

i have a set of 21 month old twins' one boy one girl.. i also have an 8 year old daughter...

at the time i found out i was pregant with the twins.. i was perfectly content with it being just me my husband and our then 6 year old daughter.. My husband got to me an convinced me how another baby would be great... "just ONE more we said" we only tried ONCE without birth control of any kind.. ONE time...and poof im pregnant!! YAY!!! well i go to the doctors to confirm what the at home test had already told me.

im at the doctors answering all the questions about EVERYTHING. she was concerned that i had lost 12 pounds in the past month an that i was always sick, so she did an internal ultrasound.. im worried now that she was so worried that god forbid something was wrong with the baby, she grabs my hand hard an says u have to see this... as the guy turns the monitor at me im so nervous... i see TWO sacs...TWO babies???!!! i didnt say a word not one... he printed me out a picture, she gave me my vitamins with my next checkup date, asked if i was going to be alrighht.. i nodded. she left the room... another nurse came in and congratulated me, said that i was the most calm person that she has ever seen that found out she was having twins.. i just started laughing hysterically... i apologized then left.. i then giggled ALL the way to the car... Giggle all the way across the city to my husbands work with that picture in my hand... giggle all the way to the office... finally composed my self enough to ask that my husband be paged to the office... he came out, saw that i had been "crying" i said NO laughing so hard to cry he asked what was so funny, everyone in the office then looked at me.. i handed him the ultrasound picture... he blionked and ran to the copy machine... within seconds everyone knew...

the whole way home i was worried how to tell my daughter that she was going to be a big sister to 2 babies.. it was hard enough when we told her about the one baby.. i didnt listen to the radio ion the way home i remeber driving so very slow and just looking at the picture in my hand.. i dont remeber anything else that happened that day... about 2 weeks later... i woke up in the middle of the night just to cry...

we had no money, bills that were overdue, a car that was only a 4 seater, we lived in a very small 2 bedroom tralior, had all we could do to support the family of 3 we had... i thought for a long second.. then said Thank you jesus.. i know he wouldnt give me something i couldnt handle...

i now have 3 beautful children that i wouldnt trade in for the world.. we are still having it rough at times but what family doesnt?? they are truely a blessing.. i can say that with twins though take it day by day.. it is different then ust haveing a single childhood, they are two totally different children.. i love my life and i love my family.

I think I would feel thrilled and a tad bit overwhelmed at the same time. Ever since I was little I always marveled at the idea of twins and even now I occasionally wonder what it would be like to have them. But then I start to think about how it would be twice the work and it becomes overwhelming. I mean, I want to have kids one day, more then one, but having two the exact same age sound like it would be exhausting.

But overall I think I would be thrilled at the idea.

I would be ecstatic! I was actually praying for twins when I was pregnant with my daughter. My husband already had a set of twin girls...who I am raising, and I know first-hand what a joy they can be. Of course, I didn't have twins, just one beautiful, perfect baby girl, but I so wanted twins!

Every woman in this earth loves to mother a baby.

Yeah, don't be so sure about that. But, pretending that I would want to get pregnant in the first place, I think hearing I was carrying twins would give me a lot of reactions. Surprise, apprehension, I suppose some excitement (again, in the fantasy that I would want a baby at all, I suppose I would have pleasant feelings along with the fear) and joy. A mixture of reactions.

I am infertile, therefore I knew seeking help from a fertility specialist would increase the chances of multiples. When I had my first ultrasound, after learning I was pregnant, the Dr told me I was having twins. I sat up really fast and said WHAT?!!! She showed me on the screen and I immediately fell in love. On the ride home was a little different reaction. I was nervous about telling my husband because he freaks out about everything. I called my dad in a tizzy. He talked me down. So when my husband got home from work, I was able to calmly tell him about the twins. He was so happy. Did not freak out at all.

Talk about mixed emotions. I went from surprise to love and happy to nervousness all in the same 30 minutes. I did become more nervous though. I had a history of miscarriage and I was told multiples are a major risk factor for pregnancies. I went to worry so I could keep them safe and keep the pregnancy.

I was on bed rest for most of the pregnancy and the babies were born a bit early. They were beautiful. They are over a year now and are very healthy and happy.
