two college tuitions at ONE time?? no way!!! hopefully if I have twins (which is very likely for me), one will be too dumb to get into college!

Re: POLL: do you want twins?

Twins run in both our families so it wouldn't be too much of a surprise. I'd be okay with it. I would ONLY have the twins though.

Re: POLL: do you want twins?

If I had a choice I probably would not opt to have twins.

But.

True story.

In my husband's family for many many generations there has been a set of twins every other generation. Well this generation (my husbands) his family is due for a set of twins. However, every cousin besides him and another female cousin are done having kids. The female cousin is due soon - one girl - don't know if they plan to have more kids in the future.
So the probability of us having twins is quite high, if you believe it.
And for some reason my husband just has a feeling that we will have the twins.

I'll be happy to be blessed with children, period!

I want twins so I can have 2 kids but only have to go through labor/pregnancy once!

This. I'm an identical twin but based on everything I read they aren't genetic.

Yes. If we could have twins (1 boy & 1 girl) & then be done with it, I will be so happy.

Re: POLL: do you want twins?

it would be nice to do it once and be done, but i wouldnt want that. i have helped watch twins and triplets as babies and i dont want that. i want to enjoy one at a time.

Re: POLL: do you want twins?

I'm kinda torn...I would like to have twins and just get all my baby birthing over with at one time, but having twins would make it almost impossible to have the home birth I want.

In the end it doesn't matter, there's no twins in either DH or I's family.

I like the idea in theory. You are all done in one round! In reality though, I wouldn't want it. Twin pregnancies are much riskier with a higher possibility of complications. I wouldn't want that anxiety.

Exactly! Higher risk of complications to mommy and babies.

I do this stuff for a living, not cool!

Re: POLL: do you want twins?

Sorry to monopolize the thread.. LOL

When a patient of mine gets what I call a '2fer', I'm excited for her. However, since it isn't as healthy of a pregnancy as a singleton, we counsel about fetal reductions for multiples.
