TWINS

My husband and I were married for one year when he decided he was ready for a baby, I had been ready for a long time but he was not and he is also 9 years younger than me. I already have two sons. I had a tubal ligation after my second son and did not want to go through the surgery of having a reversal. We went with IVF and I was pregnant after the first try. At 5.5 weeks I had my first ultrasound and we saw one embryo but no heartbeat. We went back at 7.5 weeks for a second ultrasound. There we saw two sacs and two heartbeats! We were in shock, to say the least. Anyhow, my pregnancy has been good except for the fact that I am placenta previa. I am now 34 weeks and have a scheduled c-section at my 36 week mark. I do and did have more of the normal pregnancy symptoms but nothing serious. I am very uncomfortable now and the babies are moving like crazy. The movements are much more uncomfortable than a singleton.

You can still complete your dreams :)

When i was just 16, i became pregnant with twins & i was horrified.
I had been with my boyfriend for 18 months before i got pregnant, and we loved each other to bits.
I was very lucky, as i had my family & my boyfriend's family support me.
I gave birth to beautiful identical twin girls - Amy & Jessica, who are now 10 yrs old.
I continued to go to school, then onto college, and then onto to university!
I am now a fully qualified Nurse, and i have been married for 5 years to the father of my twins.
I have an 8 month-old daughter Isabelle who has completed our little family.
I pursued my career dreams even though i was a teen mum, and it was hard but you can do anything if you put your mind to it!! :)

THE WORST

I found out in june that I was pregnant and in the beginning I thought it wasn't going to be that hard to deal with. But at 6 weeks when I started having morning sickness I thought I was gonna die. I threw up everything including water, I went to the hospital at 6 weeks, 7 weeks, 8 weeks and 10 weeks. At 7 weeks they did a ultra sound and they saw two sacs. That explained why I was going thru hell. Then my doctor made me do routine test and I did the glucose test and found out I have diabeties the one you get when your pregnant which added to the list of probelms. Now I'm 12 weeks and still havin bad morning sickness, I'm not even showing and can't wait till there here so it can be over.

Young and surviving with twins at 16

I started to date my bf when we were both 14. We had a great relationship and ended up in love so 7 months later we decided to have sex for the first time, both our first times. 4 months after we first had sex I found out I was pregnant. I was so scared and didn't know what to do but together we saw the doctor who informed us I was 2 months pregnant with twins! yes twins..I didn't want my parents to know about it but they had to after all they would figure it out soon enough. My dad went crazy and said I was to have an abortion or I was out of the house, my mom was a little more understanding. My dad kicked me out for a week but only let me stay back in the house with one rule: I was to leave as soon as the babies came.

My bfs parents were so much more understanding about the situation they set up the guest house for when the babies were due so I could move in with them. My dad didn't even show up at the hospital. At the age of 15 1/2 I had a beautiful baby girl Halie Anne and a gorgeous little boy Jacob Alexander. I was only aloud back to the house with out the babies to pick up my final things and then had to leave. I have not spoken to my father but I do see my mom at least once a week and she is great she loves the babies and is always helping out by getting them stuff and giving some money towards their upkeep. I now live with my bf and our two adorable babies (who are just 10 months old) with my bfs family. I am going to start back at school in september I took a year out and my bf is still in school he never left. Its so hard sometimes especially with two babies at once trying to look after them..and oh god when they were just new borns..it was crazy all the time! I am just lucky to have so much support I couldn't do it with out everyone else.
