Now that you’re pregnant, do you sometimes wonder if you’re carrying twins?

Three out of every 100 pregnant women in the U.S. become pregnant with multiples. If you’re one of them, you may see some signs. If you don’t, your doctor will. Here are some of the earliest indications that you may be having more than one baby:

One of the most asked questions in twin websites or forums on the internet is what are the chances of having twins.
The following are the best 5 sites that, in my opinion, try to answer that question.

1. Twinstuff

This website has very complete information, including charts from the USA National Vital Statistics Reports.
Although there is no way to determine if it is sure that you will have twins, with the help of this charts you can have a decent estimate. 

2. Multiples.com

I like this site,  because not only gives statistical information,  it also tells how to increase or decrease the chances of having twins.

3. RaisingTwins.com

Unlike the first two,  this gives all the information in a more informal way, but it is very interesting,  talking about some ways to increase the chance of having twins .   And it talks about more things than the previous ones, for example, places in the world where twins are more common, like Nigeria, and the reasons for that.

4. BellaOnline.com It’s rather short and concise information, but covering a lot of points.
    
5. GoAskAlice.com

This answers a very specific question,  about the probability of having twins skiping a generation.  I had heard about that long time before my wife got pregnant with twins,  but in our case it was her mother who was pregnant with twins (and lost them).  What I had never heard was the importance of how many males or females are in certain generation,  and maybe that is the reason I consider this one of the best 5 websites that discuss about the chances of having twins.

Very interesting video showing how you see twin on ultrasound.
Very useful for new parents of twins, to see what to expect in the ultrasound.

Life gives us a lot of surprises.

With my wife, we had started some months ago to try to have a baby. Also, our families were anxious, specially my parents because they had no grandson or granddaughter.

Finally, she became pregnant.

We wanted to give a surprise to our families so we wrote a funny letter. But before going to our families’ houses we visited the doctor.

And the ones who were going to give a surprise, were the ones who were surprised.
The ultrasound shown my wife was pregnant with twins.

We were the first to be surprised that day !

Is It Twins? 10 Signs That You’re Having Twins/Multiples

Is it twins? Pregnant mothers often suspect that they are carrying more than one baby. Here are some of the most common signs of a twin or multiple pregnancy. Could you be having more than one? Check your symptoms against this list.

1. Ultrasound Confirmation

Seeing is believing… the only way to indisputably confirm a twin or multiple pregnancy is to see it — via ultrasound. An ultrasound image can indicate without a doubt if there is more than one fetus. Ultimately, no matter what other signs or symptoms you have, the only way you’ll know for sure is to have an ultrasound.

Do you agree with these 10 points ? Please leave your comment.

I don’t know if it happens to every new father, but, although I was very happy when I knew my wife was pregnant, I was a bit scared. Will I be a good father ? I didn’t see myself changing diapers, clothes, feeding them.

Having a single baby this can be not so problematic as you may think: Well, my wife will do that most of the time. But what happens when you know, some days after, that you will be father of twins ?

I cannot express in words what you feel, everything you thought since you knew you would be a father has to be multiplied times 2. And also your nervousness. There is no way to “escape”. You will have to change diapers, feed them, change clothes, wake up several time at night.

And that happened to me !

Was it difficult ? Yes, of course. In the first days I was a disaster. But I learnt. I started to like it, and I can tell you that being a dad of twins was the most wonderful thing that happened to me in my whole life.
