| Topic: Twins?!?!!? | |

So I found out recently that I am pregnant... about 1 month into the pregnancy now... due end of November...
My mom-in-law comes and says "it's going to be twins"...  Apparently twins run (STRONGLY)on my husband's side for both mom's side and dad's. They are due to surface in my husband's generation. (There are 6 sets between the 2 sides, all brothers or sisters of his parents OR 1st Cousins of theirs). I have 2 kids from a previous marriage... so I know lots of people get a kick out of spooking you with wives tales... but what's the likelihood of truth here? I thought twins was a maternal gene... AND to boot... my husband lost a set of twins and his fiance about 8 or 9 years ago. (they died due to medical complications  ) I'm all for the "more the merrier"... but my hubby is active duty Navy and won't be around much the next few years due to deployment to Iraq. I'm a little scared about having a 7 year old, a 4 year old and TWIN infants... Can anyone put my mind at ease? Or are twins most likely in my future? |

There were twins in both sides of my family, and I didn't have twins.
Don't panic. Find out for sure first. THEN panic. |

Mom-in-law can help take care of them, anyway.

Nope. We live with the in-laws until August... but my hubby transfers from Guam to San Diego then. His ship is forward deployed to Iraq... so we are going to live in San Diego so when his boat is in port we can see him.
I love my hubby's parents.... but I don't want to live with them forever. It's a temporary situation so we can save some money. |

Twins do run in families, but only through the women. They run in my family... so this was discussed. Hope that helps.

Twins do seem to run in families but like many myths about twins by joining Mother's of Multiples a long standing peer support group you will have the opportunity to meet great people and share good information. Contact the Navy Family Laison for a local chapters and also vist other wives organizations. My double trouble is now 31 and I have to say it was not nearly as tough as I worried it would be. Best of Luck

Let me say im a proud mommy of 9 year old twin girls. They truly are a blessing. i didn't know that i was having twins untill 5 days count them 5 days until i had them. they were on top of each other and there heart beats were nysnc. i would of NEVER thought that i would have twins. twins don't run in my family, and i don't think they run in the dad's either???? i heard that it does skip a generation? but who can say if that is even true...god is going to bless you with 1 or 2 or 3 or hey even 4. i know what you are going throuhg...believe me. when my twins were born i had a 18 month at home, so it was like i had tripplets! i have 4 beautiful children now. on top of that i'm a single mother, i do it all by myself, i get no help. i wouldn't have it ANY OTHER WAY!!! you will be fine, you can do it use mothers are SUPERWOMEN!!!! i'm sure you will have a lot of help, take care be safe and keep us posted on thoses babies?? good luck. if you ever need anyone to talk to...i'm here :)

Twins ran on my ex's side..they say they skip every generation so I wasn't to worried about it. Now my sons will have to worry, so they say.
I always looked at it this way....God will bless me with what he thinks I can handle. Trust me, if you have twins...in the end, you will think its a blessing
