So many


Well, my whole childbearing adventure began at 16. I'd had a boyfriend for almost a year when we decided to celebrate by going all the way. We did and of course a few weeks later I found out I was pregnant. Oddly enough, I was actually excited by the news, because I had wanted to be pregnant all my life (for reasons unknown). I was overjoyed when I found I was growing earlier than normal.

On my next doctor trip, I learned I was carrying triplets. I cried tears of joy, it was a wish come true. I was a hefty eater the next few months and I absolutely loved my belly. My boyfriend, who did stay with me, agreed thoroughly, he loved my growing belly as much as I did, if not more. He stayed all the way through the pregnancy. Soon the time came and I gave birth to Blaine Matthew, Kelly Lynn, and Elizabeth Gina. Soon after, me and my boyfriend were married.

Then a year later I got pregnant again, with triplets again. The pregnancy had the same effect on my husband and I. We fell in love with my belly all over again, and this time, I got even bigger, gaining 95 lbs instead of 70 like last time. Luckily, it all went to my belly. A few months of growing later, we held Gavin Jay, Melissa Lacy, and Leonard Lucas in our arms.

They're now two, and I'm pregnant again. This time it's quads. I wonder how big I'll get this time... Well, all things considered, I've already had an amazing childbearing experience, and nether I nor my husband plan on stopping soon. These children (and the bellies they came in) are all wonderful blessings.

Good luck to all,

Dani






Twins


My husband and I married two years ago and decided to start our family. We'd talked about wanting two children...and were shocked when we found we were having two at ONCE. We are so excited! We just found out they are identical which is really cool!

Could it be twins?

I am 5 weeks and 1 day by my count. I have not yet seen the Dr. My appt. is scheduled for the 24th of this month (2 week away).

I think I might be carrying twins. My mom was a twin and her sister was a twin. Also, my dad's a twin. What made me believe that I am pregnant with twin is that I am already showing.

two sets of twins// all under 2yrs

My husband and I decided to try and get pregnant a few months after our wedding. My husband has a "now" 9yr old son, so we were just planning on having one baby and that would be our family.

Well 4 months into my pregnancy we had a big scare. I got a call from the dr wanting me to go in for an ultrasound the very next morning due to my test results coming back positive for a neural tube defect. I was up the whole night upset hoping that it was wrong and my baby was okay. The next day we went in for an ultrasound and found out that it was false and that the only reason my scores were so high was because there were two in there.

So in July at 38wk I was induced and naturally had a healthy boy and girl. They are now 11months old and my husband and I are 12 weeks pregnant w/ our second set of fraternal twins. This one was a big shocker. So we are going to have 4 children under the age of 2. And we thought our lives were busy now!!!!

(very!!!!!) Big Twins

I am a mom of 4 quadruplet toddlers, with 2 on the way. I don't think I can get any bigger.

You gain about a centimeter a week with one, until 40 weeks; 40 cm. I am now at 52 cm, at 28 weeks.
