I totally forgot about these due date boards here. This is our 4th pregnancy and at 12 weeks we had an u/s bc they couldn't find the heartbeat on the doppler....only to find out there were TWO babies hiding out in there!!!! I have never been so surprised in my life (and so excited!) We have always wanted a "bigger" family, but since I have c-sections we never thought we would end up with at least 5 (if not more, uterus willing).

We are due November 18th, so I am almost halfway through. My big u/s is Thursday, but since these "might" be our last babies, we are having them be our surprises. Regardless, I am so excited to see my babies again and make sure they are growing like they should be.

Any other twin mamas here dealing with utter exhaustion? Like last night I went to bed at 10 pm, was woken up at 6 am and I could NOT wake up...I just wanted to sleep for many more hours. This is every day for me...some days I even nap for hours with my other three kids. I have been tired with my other pregnancies, but not THIS tired. I feel like a slug. And I keep waiting for that 2nd trimester burst of energy to hit-but for some reason, it seems to have missed my house...anyone else?

Welcome! I think there are 3 or 4 other twin mama's here. Two of them just recently found out.

Welcome and Congrats, Melissa!

We just found out 2 weeks ago at 18 weeks that we're expecting twins. We were very surprised and are very excited.

We don't find out the gender (usually) but felt that since we've got TWO coming, we'd like to be as prepared as possible. My doctor says he's pretty sure we're having two boys and we're totally set as far as clothes go since our DS was also a November baby.

Tired: Yes! Almost all the time. And, it's only going to get harder the further along we go. I read something that said being pg with twins is like being (5 or 8? I can't remember exactly) weeks further ahead than you actually are.

We're beginning to have SO many twins in this DDC!!!! I think you're the fifth member and I have to wonder if there won't be at least one more.

My hubby and I are wondering about twins, yet I am sure there HAS to be just one in there. Right?!?!

Even if we do have twins, we won't be looking at gender. Hubby says there are so few good surprises in life and I agree!

We are not having an u/s unless something major pops up. I am speaking with the midwives in a couple of weeks about that to see what they would HAVE to have an u/s for.

I still have NO energy at all. But I am not a good measure as I typically have hard pregnancies. If I do get energetic, I'd be surprised! And happy.

WELCOME!
