anyone out there give birth to twins....... TWICE?

my girls were born in april 2000 with the first dose of clomid. we
had tried like 3 years to get pregnant and the clomid worked like a
charm.

about 6 months ago, i decided that i wouldnt exactly mind having one
more child, that our kids are relatively normal and behaved and i
stopped taking the pill, assuming that i would need the clomid to get
pregnant.

so last week i realize i havent had a period in a good amount of time,
check my calendar, and low and behold i'm late. one grocery store
pregnancy test on thursday (pos) blood test on friday (pos) and call
to the docs to schedule an appointment on monday, and suddenly i'm
HUGE, wearing my maternity clothes, and thinking that i'm maybe 3
months or so pregnant. i'm already feeling small things in my belly.

THE PROBLEM HERE of course is that i'm getting so big, just suddenly,
and i'm definitely feeling two beings on either side of my stomach.
i'm praying that its only two, astonished that i got pregnant, let
alone possibly with twins, and completely freaked out at the potential
for having 4 children in 2 pregnancies. did anyone else have this
happen?

so its going to be definite tomorrow, i had the doc call in an
ultrasound so i go at 3. i cant wait for my appointment with the doc
to wait even lonnger for an ultra sound with out knowing whats going
on in my fish bowl...


so this is sorta a rant, sorta a gossip session... i'm in GREAT need
of calgon at the moment, how do we handle this one..... isnt life
amazing?

If you are ~12 weeks, I don't think you can be feeling anything, much less
two as opposed to one fetus. I have sonograms of my twins at ~11.5 weeks
and they are floating freely around in there.

Good luck and congrats.

Congratulations on your pregnancy, and the fact that you didn't have to take
clomid this time! That must be real exciting!

I'm trying to wrack my brains if anyone on this particular group has two sets
of twins. I'm sure they'll come out and talk to ya.

Please let us know how the ultrasound goes! Sounds exciting.

Don't have two sets, but can definitely vouch for the fact that even a
singleton subsequent pregnancy gets big FAST. With Holly I was in maternity
swimsuit at 3.5 weeks, before I even suspected (and was, obviously, cursing
myself for not keeping myself in better shape ... for a whole two horrible
days until I realized what was going on).

With the triplets, I was in maternity clothes at about 6 weeks, with Holly
PING -- at 4 weeks.

Anyway -- congrats, good luck tomorrow, and let us know!!

There have been a few people in and out of this group who have had two
sets of twins; none of them have posted recently, though.

I recall that most of them said that things were easier the second time
around, however.

That said, I don't think it's at all unusual to be in maternity clothes
earlier during your second pregnancy.

Congratulations either way,

I have had 2 sets of twins, but unfortunately the first set did not make
it, but yes, I have given birth to 2 sets of twins.

Congrats on your pregnancy!

P.S. When we decide to TTC again, I hope we get more twins!!
