So when I think of having kids I say I want TWINS. Two birds one stone! Then tubes tied.

My boyfriend says no. Because it is to much work and I don't have the patience.

Mind you twins run on both sides of mine and his families. No one in our generation has yet to have twins and it has skipped a few in my family on both sides.

What's your thoughts on twins.

I always said the same thing twins, one boy one girl, all at once, but I know what I went through with one of my kids, and now I would say heck no!!! I had a hard enough time with dealing with one kid at a time, nevermind 2????

I have a 9 year old daughter and 2.5 year old boy/girl twins. Our original plan was to have one, wait a year and then have another. Didn't work out that way. Away 5 years of miscarriage and fertility treatments we were finally blessed with twins. Being that I'm a bit older and had some existing conditions compounded with gestational diabetes the pregnancy was harder than my first but I made it through to 38 weeks with no bed rest. My twins were big at 6.12 and 6.15. The pregnancy took a toll on my body though and I still have nerve damage and compression neuropathy in my foot from the swelling. Comparing my single pregnancy to my twins, I would say it wasn't necessarily and more difficult, just a different kind of difficult. It was also much easier when they were infants than now as preschoolers. Like any new parent, you don't always know how you get through, you just do.

I have twin teenage girls. Twins ran on my side of the family. I love my girls but it's a lot of hard work. Picture having twin teen girls both going through puberty and high school at the same time. The same maturity level! Listen to your husband. Lol

I agree with your boyfriend. I have 5 year old twin boys and they are beyond a handfull and I never really feel that I get to give one special attention like I could if I just had one. BUT if by chance you do have twins you will find the strength and love to handle it.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
