preminition

My sister has been dreaming for months (since soon after the birth of our first baby) that the next ones would be twin, we put it of as hopeful thinking!
When I found out that I was pregnent, I tried to connect with the baby, as I had done with my first.
With my daughter, it had been easy.
With this one however, i just got nothing, or occaisionly a feeling of there being something 'wrong'
One day I laid down, and acnolaged that they could be twins.
Immediatly I got the word 'yes'
I rang the doc, irganised an ultrasound for the next week, and nearly fell off the bed when the tech told me that our preminitons and dreams where right!

discovery at 29 weeks, twins have separate birthda

I got pregnant when my 4th baby was only 6 months old. I felt crummy right away. My back hurt much sooner and I couldn't eat much because I was always stuffed. I had planned to have a home birth and was going to midwives, avoiding an ultrasound due to the costs.

When I was about 4 months along, a friend called to tell me she had a dream that I was having twins. I went the the midwives soon after and told them, so they checked for an extra heartbeat but didn't hear one. I was measuring normally.

The next month I was talking to my 2 1/2 year old about my tummy. I said that I had a baby in my tummy. Did she have a baby in her tummy? No, she said, she had TWO babies in her tummy. She had never even heard of twins before, as far as I knew. Weird!

Again, my midwives didn't hear a 2nd heart beat, and I was measuring normally. When I went in for my 28 week checkup, I was very uncomfortable and feeling large, although I had only gained about 15 lbs. My measurement had gone up 8 in the last 4 weeks instead of only 4 (meaning that my uterus got really large all of the sudden). So we scheduled an ultrasound for the next week.

I was excited, because I thought my due date must be off by a month. Nowhere in our families had anyone had twins. At the ultrasound, I asked the tech what the two round things were on the TV screen. She said, "two heads." At which point my husband asked if there were two bodies, and I burst into tears thinking that I was having conjoined twins.

I ended up delivering at 38 1/2 weeks withOUT an epidural and actually walked to the OR while I was about to have the babies. It was close to midnight. I told my midwife that I wanted both babies to be born on the same day. I'm sure she rolled her eyes.

Ava was born at 11:55 PM, and Therese was born at 12:06 AM, making them 11 minutes apart and having separate birthdays. They were 6 lbs and 5 lbs 14 oz. We found out after we got the placenta report that they are identical (they didn't look alike for a long time due to their head shapes).

Overall, I gained 25 lbs and was able to start working out at 5 weeks postpartum. I lost all of my weight in 10 week by lifting weights 3 days a week, aerobics 3 days a week and watching my calorie intake. I nursed them for 5 weeks total. Considering that I then had 4 children in diapers and 6 kids total, I was pretty pleased with that.

The girls are now 5 and are in the same Kindergarten class. They don't switch identities at school, but began trying it at home when they were about 2. Lots of work, having twins, but the glory is great too!
