Completely different then the last 4 pregnancy's


I have had 4 kids: one is 9, the others are 31/2, 21/2, and 1 1/2. I have never measured large for my dates (my uterus was measuring 13weeks at 8 and half weeks) and have never gained 18 pounds by 12 weeks.

I am 12 weeks pregnant and not scheduled for an ultrasound until June 11th. Heard the baby’s heartbeat this week very loud, only heard one. I think there’s 2 in there but my morning sickness is nil like all the others but I am more tired then usual. I haven’t fit into my clothes since I was 8 weeks pregnant. I used to wear a size 3-4 and now I can’t even get into a size 8.

I think it is twins and have never thought that before. I am so confused and frustrated with this whole situation that my pregnancy has not been enjoyable at all. The reason the ultrasound is scheduled so far away is we're very backed up down here and they have no room for any more appointments. I need to make my doctor listen next visit when I tell him that I think it’s 2 in there so he will do whatever it is they need to do to find out if it is. I have to be prepared if it is.

Thanks to you all.

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
