I felt amazing (like high on drugs amazing) with my twin pregnancy. With my singletons I was exhausted & nauseated. But I've never been beyond 8w so I can't say all that much.

I just did a spit take because I didn't know you were having twins!!! (go back to sleep, atomic)
They would have told you if you needed to be concerned and I suspect strongly that they are fraterna.
FWIW I think sickness can oftentimes be the worst with the first because you don't know how to manage it - my first pg was the worst (I threw up every day and was totally miserable) because I didn't understand that you actually need to eat regular meals and that drinking too much liquid made it much worse for me.
Oh wow Bluebonnet, just seeing this now as I've been off the boards. Congrats on your twins. Hoping there's at least one girl in there! So excited for you and I hope you have a healthy pregnancy. I'm a fan of the brewer diet from the Bradley method and for singletons they recommend 80-100g of protein a day to stay low risk and it ups to 120g for twins. Good luck!
I've been away for a bit too and just saw this, I remember you from the swaying board!
Wow twins!! Congratulations!! I hope you have a good pregnancy and you have some pink in there, keep us posted!!
Looking forward to hearing if there is your one daughter on board. Goodluck and I hope you get her
Hi ladies! Just wanted to provide an update here for the twin mommies that might not be following my due date club. We found out today at 15 weeks that we are in fact having boy/girl twins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm still in shock and trying to protect my heart in case the tech was wrong. The scan was at my doctors office and she said she was 100%. I can't believe it! I'll post a picture in a few minutes to see what you guys think? I have my son's potty shot and it's not even worth posting, it's 100% a boy :) . It was hard to get a good potty shot of the girl because she was moving around like crazy.
I do have another question for twin mommies. At 10 weeks my doctor didn't tell me if they were di/di or mono/di and said I'd find out at 15 weeks. Today it looked like there was only 1 placenta which made me very certain that they must be identical, but the doctor was emphatic that it was too early for placentas to fuse and that it's "possible" for boy/girl twins to have 1 placenta?!?! Seems crazy to me. Is it possible to have boy/girl twins with 1 placenta? Do you think my placentas just fused early? No idea what to think.
That looks like a little girl!! Congrats bluebonnet on boy/girl twins!! I am not a twin mommy, but I am a twin. My sister and I were said to be identical twins at birth due to our "one placenta", but it didn't take long that it became quite apparent that we were definitely NOT identical. Our birth cirtificate says mono-chorionic! Later on I learned from my anatomy teacher in nursing school that my sis and I had implanted so close together in the uterus that our placentas fused into one very early on. They even showed my mom the amniotic sac at our birth and told her we also only had one sac! Which somehow must have looked like one but they were stuck together. So... you most likely have two placentas that fused very early on to look like one! Your babies probably implated very close together :). Again, congrats!!
