 Topic: Dreaming of twins...
Posted: 27 March 2006 at 11:28am |
|
A couple of weeks ago (right before we found out for sure I was pregnant) I dreamed we had identical twin girls. In my dream, we sold our car for $2000 and gave that to my parents as the deposit on their people-mover, and we were paying the rest of the $7000 off. The twins went in the middle 2 seats, Kiya was in the back driver's side corner, and Josiah was in the other back corner!
Last Friday, I again dreamed we had twins: the first was born at 11:55pm on the 14th, and the other at 12:05am on the 15th!

Ooh, that's rather full on. Are you getting "twin" vibes at all? Or is it just the dreams??

I've done a little research online about symptoms of multiple pregnancies... there are 9 commonly accepted symptoms, and they are: (from this link)
1) intuition/dreams
2) more morning sickness (only affects 50% of mums expecting twins)
3) other preggy symptoms exaggerated (only affects some mums expecting twins)
4) rapid weight gain in first trimester (although mums with twins only gain about 5kg more overall than mums with one)
5) measuring large for gestational date (could also be because you got your dates wrong initially)
6) elevated levels of AFP (can be elevated for other reasons, lower levels for twins fall within higher levels for one)
7) rapidly rising hCG levels
8) caregiver hears 2 heartbeats (one baby's heartbeat can sound different from different points, also possibility of cord echo)
9) positive ultrasound showing 2 babies

Both Nathaniel and I would be quite happy to have twins. We've always said we'd like twins one day...
1) Neither of us "felt" like we had twins with Josiah, but we both do this time - even before my first dream, when we only suspected I was pregnant!
2) morning sickness is different this time - but I had none with Kiya, and only felt yuck with Josiah. This time I have waves of strong nausea, but I'm not throwing up (yet), only retching.
3) have to wait and see on this one
4) not that I've noticed, but I was quite a way in when I found out I was pregnant so ???
5) I have "popped" out a bit, but it could be because this is my 3rd pregnancy, and my muscles and uterus are more stretched than last time
6, 7, 8) I'll have to wait until after I see the midwife for the first time next week
9) if any of the above concern the midwife, then we'll see!

Guess now Nat and I will just have to wait and see! We've got 2 girls names we've liked for a while, and last night we found a boys name we both like...

Your dream reminded me....I'm reading a book at the moment set in Scotland in 1788 where the main character is a twin. His twin was born just before midnight and he was born right after midnight....

Hi Becca, just saw your due date and you are 12 days ahead of me - not much difference really! I have my first scan next month - very exciting but also a little scary. I hope for you that you find out that you are having twins - that would be very exciting for you and your husband

It certainly would be exciting! Nathaniel and I are trying to be realistic atm - really, unless there is something that makes the midwife go "hmmm", its more likely we're only having one baby.
Really, this is nothing more than instinct... but its as equally as strong a feeling that I'm having twins that it was I was having a girl with Kiya and a boy with Josiah!

I was sure sure sure I was having twins, I put on weight real fast and i felt real sick, mind you it is my first pregnancy so i didnt have much to compare it with. I was so sure it was unreal and I also had the twin dream (infact I think thats how it all got started i had the first dream at about 7 weeks) but when I went to my scan it was only one *phew* not that twins are not really cool, ofcourse they are, but we wouldnt have had the money for 2 so I was pretty relieved! So maybe it is just your mind playing tricks on you like mine was with me...?

It sure could be, Mrs Frantic! I guess the thing is, I dream really vividly normally - in full colour and everything (most people dream in black and white). My preggy dreams are even more vivid than what is the norm for me. Yet, this is my third pregnancy and I never had any dreams or hunches that I was having twins before!

Wow dreaming of twins... I never dreamt i was pregnant with twins and didn't really have any idea that i was having twins till my scan told me other wise. That gave me the shock of my life. One of my friends has just had her twins, a boy and a girl, both over 6lbs. Man if your having twins i feel for you cause its bl**dy hard work. Don't get me wrong i love my babies to bits but i can't understand why any sain person would wish to have twins. When Ryan and Katelyn were first born i remember thinking ' Oh my god what have i got myself into ' but its so much easier now that they are older.

Yeah my baby dreams have been pretty vivid surround sound "the hills are alive" type of dreams...
Though i don't think I've ever dreamed in black and white...my dreams in general always seem to be in colour...

i only dream in colour myself too.... i never dreamt i was having twins before my scan but it was in my thoughts for a while... i was relieved when i saw only one baby, i didnt think i could cope with 4 under 4! argh, but i know that people do.
goodluck though, lol, imagine if you are! like kasbee says its hard work! i nannied twins a boy and a girl (18 month olds..) and it was madness! but lots of fun.
still, after singletons i couldnt imagine how hard it must be for mothers of twins.... nappies, feeds etc...
*hats off to them bowing*

Just be careful ladies: I do not want to be held responsible if you all feel disappointed if there is only one baby!
