About Me
- Families and Happiness
- Well, where do I start? I could start at many stages in my life; all very exciting and adventurous in some sort of way. Probably best to start when I met my husband 10 years ago, as this was the turning point in my very emotional and dramatic life. Met Ben through work, we had a wonderful life together, very ambitious, career driven until we decided to started a family 4 years later. The fertility Journey did take 2 years to conceive but we got there eventually and conceived little Thomas, now for someone like me who has no patience what so ever this was a agonizing and stressful wait but well worth it. We moved from our home town Bournemouth to Ipswich with Ben's work, I gave up my careern and then married in Cumbria in 2009. We continued to have 2 more children very easily compared to Thomas, Jesiica and Baby Wilson.

I do beilive in God but didn't pray for Twins Just a healthy Pregnancy
I believe that God gives twinsI believe that God gives twins. I am so happy to read all the responses and in particular, the ones that mention prayer and blessings. I believe that God gives twins even where it is not hereditary and I look forward to the day it will happen to me too.—Guest Joy
Wished for twinsI'm 31, planned for a second pregnancy. I prayed to God for twins...and got them. Expecting soon!—Guest Ethy
I just feel very nervous that I feel very different to all my 3 pregnancies, almost paranoid that I have twins in my belly. Look I feel silly, I am sure it is just one and that the fact that I am a Identical Twin, My father was a non Identecail Twin and my mothers father was a twin has nothing to do with it, or does it?
I really would not cope with more than another one so I really do not think I would ask God for 2 unless he wanted me to have 2!!!!!
How to conceive twins!!!
CLOMID - This is the one surefire way to up your chance of twins, but you do need a doctor's prescription for it. You should NEVER buy Clomid online or use another person's Clomid, you need to be monitored by a doctor while you use it because serious, life threatening side effects may occur. (Clomid does sway pink)
GENETICS - Some of us just have a genetic tendency to hyperovulate and pop out more than one egg per month. If your mother, sister, aunts, or grandmother has fraternal twins, that means you just naturally have a greater chance of twins.
PREVIOUS PREGNANCY - The more times you've been pregnant, the higher your chances of twins!
PREVIOUS MULTIPLE PREGNANCY - If you've conceived multiples before, you're more likely to do so again.
AGE - After age 35 the rate of twins begins to rise. Women over 45 have 17% chance of twins, but of course it's extremely difficult to get pregnant at that age for most of us. Realistically, between ages 35-40 are your best shot for actually conceiving twins.
PHYSICAL SIZE - Tall women and those with a BMI over 30 are more likely to conceive twins.
DIET - Being well-nourished and even slightly overweight ups your chances of twins. Also, diets high in beef and dairy products may increase the odds of twins due to hormones present in cattle.
SOY - Taking soy isoflavones, 200 mg from CD 3-7, total of 5 days, may help to sway for twins. It acts as a natural Clomid. (may sway blue, because it does increase CM, but if you take antihistamines to dry up your CM you may get the benefits from the soy of releasing more than one egg, you may still be able to incorporate soy into a pink sway as well as a blue one.)
VITEX - Vitex from AF-O may sway for twins. (sways pink) However, some researchers believe that it may actually PREVENT twins. (I did conceive twins while taking vitex so I happen to know that isn't the case in all circumstances.)
FOLIC ACID - Scientists used to believe there was a link between Folic Acid intake in the three months prior to conception and twinning. Now it is believed that high Folic Acid intake simply helps twin pregnancies to both successfullly survive and thrive. Most twin conceptions are lost very early in pregnancy and by having ample Folic Acid in our bodies, we help our twins to both survive.
BREASTFEEDING - Getting pregnant while breastfeeding increases your odds of twins.
BIRTH CONTROL PILLS - Getting pregnant on the Pill increases your odds of twins, but no one should go onto the birth control pill for this reason. Getting pregnant on the pill may not be safe for your babies. But, if you get pregnant your first month off the Pill, you may still be more likely to conceive twins that month.
WILD YAM - Much has been made of this supplement because Africans who eat a lot of yams have more twins. I have read that the "wild yam" that is sold in supplements are not the same yams at all (and in fact may act as a birth control pill reducing your chances of twins!!). The yams at the grocery store aren't the same either. So eat a lot of yams if you like them, but this may not be effective.

Tireness
Oh my goodness, I am so so so tired. This is really going to be tough. It is Friday I have worked all week (well my three days) I have had the kids, I have also done an event for work one of the evenings and I cannot keep myself awake. It is only 4.30pm and Ben is not due home until about 6.00 ish. And he is going out for the night with a good friend for a few drinks!!! I do wonder if I am only growing one baby I don't remember being this tired! I am not sure where I am going to get the energy and strength to get through the first trimester. Now you can understand why I decided to call the book "nine months covered in kids, it's bad enough doing pregnancy when you don't have kids what about when you do! I am currently;y making myself a very strong filter coffee even though I only limit myself to one a day!
