Your reaction when told theres 2 (or 3)

With some of the recent posts I thought it could be cute to have a thread on your or your partners reactions when you found out you were expecting more than one.

I'd love to hear how far along you were and if you were expecting double trouble for any reason?

Hi, my husband checked under the bed and asked if it's a DVD on the screen, whether it was a practical joke! He then asked her to check that there wasn't a third!

Haha your DH sounds a hard thing Twinboys2b.

Awww to crying for 2 days Danda no twins in our families so we had no idea what we were in for. If we went back again and I got told it was twins I would cry for 2 days too, they are great now though.

I found out at 12 weeks. The sonographer stated "Well there they are" and then said that next time we should let them know there's twins as the scan takes twice as long. ( I think he was annoyed as we were the first appointment of the day )

Twins run in my family too and I think I had a hunch that there were twins. Didn't stop me from staring hard at the ceiling for a lot of the scan DH was delighted immediately, he spent the rest of the day boasting about his 'super sperm' despite the quick recap of biology I gave him

We decided to go for our 12 week scan on Hubby's birthday. He already has a set of twins so we didnt think it would happen again. I had no MS was still working 40+hrs on my feet all day. But my bump was showing at 7 weeks but i didnt think anything of it!

The lady put the scanner on, moved it off and i was already saying "you gotta be kidding me"looked at hubby and he had no idea what i was on about....i then told him there was 2! Lady was very impressed i saw it (i know what im looking at have had 3 kids already)

I was laughing and crying at the same time!

We did the scan, Bubba A was in a weird possy so we had to go for a 20 min walk and come back, walked out into the waiting room to all the other scanners/receptionist ladies all cheering LOL....we were pretty silent for most of that day bursting into OMFG and then laughing LOL.

Gave my oldest son the photos (he didnt even know we were preggers) his reply to the photos.....mum, i know this is a baby and you are having one.....but why is this saying twin 1 and twin 2.

Partially deaf Barry?? He did our 12wk scan! He just dropped it into the conversation really casually.....first baby? "yes" any history of twins in the family? "no" There is now...
My DH had joked I was either going to have a 10lb ginger (he was very ginger when he was born) or twins as I felt so big.
I cried (only a tiny bit) and he leaped out of his chair with a loud YES! when Barry said yes, twins.

I have read this thread before and enjoyed it but I never actually thought I would get to answer to it!

I found out I am carrying twins at my 12 week scan this morning! Other people and myself had suspicions of it so we have been awaiting my scan in great anticipation!

I saw the two wee sausages as soon as the sonographer put the scanner on but was too scared to say anything. The lady asked "Are you seeing what I am seeing?" I asked if there were two in there. "Yes" She said. I just couldn't stop laughing in disbelief and had to hold my breath so She could keep scanning. DP kept repeating "OMG, OMG!" Everytime we look at eachother today we have this nervous smile. We are happy but very nervous.

Not sure yet if there are identical or fraternal but they are both healthy.

My reasons I suspected: I got a really early positive that appeared instantly. 6 days before AF due with a discover test. Needing to pee twice as much as first pregnancy and my belly popped out at 8 weeks and is now really obvious. Plus I just had a weird feeling.

My Sisters friend just had a feeling and my MW thought it could be possible because of how high my abdomen is.

Very exciting Emu! An early xmas pressie
Welcome to the multiples threads.

Hi there, i just found out at my 12 week scan last week that my partner & i are having identical twins. Didnt speak for the entire scan as we were in so much shock. We dont have twins in the family and apparently identical twins arent genetic anyway they are just pure chance/luck. We are now getting used to the idea and need to do a bit more research. Im now considered high risk due to them both in the same sac so concerned about that + other negative things that can go wrong, just trying to remain positive though. Scary stuff but it seems it was meant to be. :-)

Welcome Guest & congrats!! (you totally need a proper username now you've joined us).

I second the not stressing, you'll be closely monitored & lots of us had prem twins & various complications so ask as many questions as you like
