Feelings you’d have twins..?

[hilbrand]

@twinmum I'm an identical twin and my sister was a stillbirth.
The loss of my sister was very hard on my parents.

I feel like while they didn't have twin children, they now have twin grandchildren. I sometimes wonder if this was the universe's way of making up for it.

Plus, I once had a entire egg carton filled with double yolk eggs (Yes the entire dozen).

@twinmum Not me but my husband.

When we talked about a second kid, he said “what if it’s twins?” He only wanted two kids. I reassured him the odds with no family history on my side was 1/250.

Right before my ultrasound, I was texting him (Covid so he couldn’t come). I was saying I was nervous, hoping the “little blueberry” was okay (the size according to my pregnancy app). He replied he was just hoping there’d only be one little blueberry.

The twins are 3 now and despite my husband’s initial shock, he loves those boys and wouldn’t want it any other way.

@twinmum I’m a fraternal twin. Always said I’d be the one out of my sister and I to have twins. We both had 3 children each all singletons. I’m currently 31weeks with fraternal twins

@twinmum It wasn't me but my husband said "wouldn't it be great if we had twins: One pregnancy and done?" since we always said we wanted two kids. Then we also had a friend say "wouldn't it be awesome to have twins?" about a montn before we told him I was pregnant. We knew I was pregnant at the time but found out it was twins about a week and a half later. I say my husband manifested it.

@twinmum So when I was 12, I guess I told my cousin “I’m never going to have kids because what me be the one to have twins…”

12 years later, my boyfriend and I planned to have a baby. No luck. Went to see Sublime with Rome open for Incubus. Smoked 2 joints while listening and singing Smoke 2 Joints. After the concert, I said “now watch me have twins”

Here we are. Identical boys , a little over a year old.

@twinmum One time I had my palm read by a lady at a county fair in my hometown. She told me that I would have twins. My boyfriend at the time (I was about 16-17) was very excited. "You hear that? We're gonna have twins!"

The lady just gave him a long look and said, to me, "Well- *you* will have twins."

It was both savage and true on both counts. He turned out to be a dick.

@prayforgaza lol!!!!

@twinmum I had always wanted twins, but never thought it would actually happen. The second I told my husband I had a positive pregnancy test he goes “it’s twins”. He just knew and was so convinced that I started to believe it too.

I was more shocked that he was right with a gut feeling like that, than that it was actually twins.

 

[sselowa]

@twinmum As a kid my brothers always told me I would have twins. And then when trying with our first (a girl singleton) I had a dream that we’d have twin boys. I guess the dream was just predicting my next pregnancy!

 

[imheretoo]

@twinmum I always thought I'd have twins told my mom when I was 5 that I needed twin babies to practice with. She bought me a set boy and a girl. Had a boy and a girl in September. My great grandma had 3 sets of twins. Only one set lived boy and a girl. I joked with my husband about twins in the doctor's office. I get deja vu all the time. Dreams coming true. We did not find out the gender before. My final guess was girl on the bottom and boy on the top, got it right.

@twinmum i told my husband it might be twins the second the test turned positive because it was so early. And then I was so incredibly sick from the start that I kept saying it was twins or a girl (I was right for both)

@twinmum Yes! So when I was really young like 10, I had boy/girl twins on my soccer team. I was super jealous of the bond they had and really wished I had twins instead of siblings that were different ages. I remember saying if I ever had kids of my own I wanted twins.

When I was in my 20’s I had a dream I had boy/boy twins. When I would talk with friends and we discussed future families I always said “I’m going to have all boys, not sure how many but I know it’s all boys”.

Fast forward to my 30’s, my husband is a fraternal twins, mom is twin 4 sets of aunts/uncles that are frat twins.

We end up having 3 boys under 2 years. Singleton and mo-di twins. It was IVF single transfer that split. I knew it was twins by 6 weeks I had debilitating sickness. My RE missed twin are first ultrasound DESPITE me asking her to see if there was twins (she laughed at me). Saw those cuties at 10 week scan. I always knew!

 

[tholmes12]

@twinmum My now-husband met my brother and sister-in-law when she was very pregnant with fraternal twin girls. He whispered to me that we were going to have identical twin boys & kept joking about it for years.

When I had terrible morning sickness I just knew it was twins! Now we've got identical twin boys.

 

[im_confused]

@twinmum I always wanted twins since I was a kid. I used to always pray for identical twin girls but would also tell God that I would be okay with a boy and a girl too.

When we went through IVF to get pregnant, I begged my husband to let us put two embryos in to fulfil my childhood dream of having twins. For him, it was a hard no haha. So we just put in one.

After I got pregnant, I kept seeing baby items displayed in pairs and thought often how cool it would be to have twins, though I knew we had only put in one embryo. I also had really intense nausea and my HCG levels on my blood tests were through the roof (though I read that this is technically no indication of multiples). I caught myself wondering if it was twins so often.

At our first ultrasound, it was like my heart was expecting to see 2 babies in there, even though my brain knew only one embryo was transferred. And what do you know, THERE WERE TWO BABIES! Our embryo split into identical twins (I hadn’t even considered this was possible at the time) and I was so overjoyed. My husband was in shock but now he’s so happy we have the two of them!

Also on a side note: I somehow knew that we were having boys right from the start. Also just kept feeling like it was boys, even though I wanted girls, I just knew.

@twinmum Grew up in Asia. They say if you serendipitously come across twins in nature, you will have twins. Very scientific, I know

I’ve always found twin bananas, twin eggplants, twin onions. Even twin yolks in eggs MANY times. When I had twin babies, everyone back home were like “obviously, she had all those signs over the years”

With that logic I should have had conjoined twins. lol. (I don’t!)

 

[davidharvey29]

@twinmum The thought never crossed my mind until I was pregnant with twins. Before I knew they were twins I was convinced that either I was further along than I initially thought, or it was twins. I honestly believed my dates were just wrong (I had irregular periods before and already felt like I was second trimester at like 8 weeks). Then the 12 week scan came along and there were two.

@twinmum My husband said he wanted four kids. I said “we’re too old, I’ll be pregnant twice.” As a joke, we compromised that we’ll just have two sets of twins. We had two boy names and two girl names picked out and the birth order we’d use them in and the family we told about the names all independently joked “you should have four kids, those are all great names.” And we’d bring up the “compromise” pact to have two sets of twins. That was all before I got pregnant.

Other than that, we never gave it another thought.

A couple of days before the pregnancy confirmation appointment I had Dolly Parton’s “Two Doors Down” stuck in my head. It was like a craving. We even listened to it on the way to the appointment on repeat.

We have identical twin boys. We’re going to go for a third later but in the back of our minds we wonder if we jinxed ourselves with another set of twins. If they are girls we already have their names picked out.

ETA: I thought the Dolly Parton song was a metaphor for my blighted ovum/missed miscarriage and following pregnancy. But now it was like it was a song about how we weren’t “aware another one was around.”

 

[sensistar]

@twinmum My husband and I joked about seeing signs we would have twins long before we were ever pregnant. Than when I was pregnant, I kept telling my family that I feel like it’s twins and it’s my fault because we manifested it and my family told me I was crazy until my ultrasound proved me right. I first felt vindicated and then terrier in those first few seconds.

 

[formeratheist2god]

@twinmum My first ultrasound tech was really mad.

(I say first because I have a second set and I was more mad the second time lolol)

I had this random thought like 4 days before the appt it might be twins. I started obsessively googling twin pregnancies and surviving the first year. I HAVE NO IDEA why, I just.... Did.

Anyways. She was all feeling it and was super happy. She was like "well I just went to bless you with twins"

I was like "yeah I know"

This chick seized up and huffed into her papers. All upset. Asked me "oh so who was your other US with?"

I say to her "no one I just had a feeling and have been googling since"

She was so mad. Never had her as an US tech again. Maybe because I got moved to a specialist, maybe because she was mad (I looked later her credentials could've been my new US tech)

 

[taliporos]

@twinmum No, but funnily enough my ex-MIL used to tell me I’d have twins - she was a bit of an oddball who claimed some clairvoyance but I never paid any attention to that.
Her son and I ended up divorcing, I found someone else and now we have twins lol
