my Pregnancy story

When I know that I am having twins, both my husband were very delighted. At the first trimester, I experienced morning sickness and nausea. During my second trimester, everything seemed to be going smoothly. Only my feet are swollen.

Both of them kicked my stomach so hard that I thought that I was in labour. I experience some back pain and my stomach is growing bigger and bigger each day.

I hope that I will have a successful birth 2-3 weeks later.

Too Many To Count!

I get very surprised with the amount of multiples I have had. I had a set of twins when I was only 14. It was my first time pregnant and I was even more worried because I was going to come home with 2 babies. I got pregnant when I was in 8th grade. I graduated and gave birth to twin girls. I named them Nikki and Micah.

Their father left me when I was 5 months pregnant. He started to worry about having twins at the house. Then his friends started in on him. "Your life is over, man" was what his Best friend would say. He started thinking that he wouldn't be allowed into any school (his education was important to him) so the next thing I know he's telling me that he can't do it. I cried for a few days, but then my friend (also my ex) started talking to me. He got me anything I needed.

When my twins were a year old, I found out I was pregnant again. The father was the same. When the twins were 2 months old he came around. He started helping me out, and we got closer. This time we both went into an ultra sound and found out that I was having not 1 not 2, but 3 kids! I was 15 and pregnant with triplets! I was in denial at first. See we went into the dr. on April 1st! I thought it was just some practical joke until I saw a picture of each one of them. I had two boys and a girl, Colin, Thaddeus, and Cassie.

I moved in with my boyfriend and about 2 years after I had the triplets I was pregnant again! This time it was just 1 baby a son, Cameron. A year later I was pregnant again. Then to round it off I had quadruplets! Yes I know what your thinking, "how is that possible?" well, I honestly don't know. I had 2 girls and 2 boys. Joseph, Kody, Kayla, and Destiny. After that I didn't get pregnant again! I have 10 kids. I love them all the same.

I am not proud of being a teen mother, but I am proud of my kids.

Could it be?

I am 29 years old and have a 14-month-old daughter. We just found out that our second child is on the way and my husband and I are ecstatic. I am due in Dec. 2007. With my first child I was severely sick and lost 8 lbs. I was 12 weeks pregnant and wearing my skinny jeans.

But this time I am only 6 weeks pregnant, no sickness yet, but I am already growing out of my big pants. I exercise for almost 90 minutes a day, so it seems odd that I would grow so quickly even with my second child. It also seems that my other symptoms have started a lot earlier. I have a lot of abdominal pulling, I have the metal taste in my mouth, that I didn't get until must later last time. And I am exhausted, I don't remember being this tired with the first pregnancy even when I was getting sick and could hardly eat.

We will have our first ultrasound in 5 days and I am just excited to see the heartbeat, let alone find out if it's more than one.

helping a friend

Hi I am 18 years old. I have had two sets of twins. They are 6 and 7. One of my friends just cannot get pregnant so we went in with her husband. We decided that I would do it for them.

They took some of her eggs and his sperm and got them fertile and put it in me. I am now 9 months pregnant. I will be having twins for them. (I swear its 3 babies in there). I am having a home birth at my house. I will have them on my bed. I have had more then six fake labors and hoping it will be soon.

Wish me luck. Will tell about the birth

Monoamniotic Twin Boys

I am 26 years old. I work a full-time job that that is consistently 50-65 hours a week. I was told at the age of 22 that I would probably never be able to have children due to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.

For those of you who have not heard of that before it is when your ovaries do not release an egg every month, instead the egg stays in the ovary and turns into a cyst. I began going to a GYN when I was 17. Had never had a regular cycle but b/c I was very active in sports, my doctor was not concerned. This continued until I was 22. I had not had a cycle for 6 months and went to the GYN very concerned. He said that I had PCOS and that it was not a concern and that I could research it online if I wanted to find out more information.

I turned to another doctor that had more experience with the syndrome and would answer my questions. I went in for an ultrasound. My ovaries were the size of large lemons not the almonds they should have been. I went into laparoscopic surgery 2 months later. 7 months later and now 24 years old I had another laparoscopic surgery. After this surgery, my doctor told me was my greatest chance of being able to become pregnant. 7 months later, I was pregnant.

At 25, I gave birth to Mason Michael. He was perfect. This was March. In December, I found out I was once again pregnant. No fertility drugs were ever used. This surprised all the doctors. I went in for my 22-week ultrasound on April 4, 2007. I was expecting to hear that the baby is doing just fine. Instead I was told quite shockingly that I was pregnant with twin boys. And that they shared the same amniotic sac. This shocked everyone (me, my husband, the ultrasound tech, the nurses, even my doctor).

The office was crazy for about 30 minutes while everyone rushed around crazily. I know understand why. My boys, while they are the size and weight as single babies would be, are at an greater risk of not making it to term as their survival rate is about 50 percent for 1 to survive. I am waiting to go back to the doctor at 24 weeks to find out if I am going out on bed rest or not.

This is my story so far. I hope it has a happy ending
