I have boy/girl twins.  They were my third pregnancy.  My older girls were 4 1/2 and 2 (almost 3) when my twins were born.  They were born at 33w 5d because my water broke on baby A at 32 weeks.  I spent two weeks on strict hospital bedrest.  Baby A weighed 4 lbs 10 oz and Baby B weight 4 lbs 7 oz.  They were HUGE for 33w preemies :)  My daughter spent 12 days in the NICU and my son spent 21 days in the NICU.  Neither had major problems.  Both needed to learn to suck, swallow, breath and my son had A's and B's.  I had NO problems during the pregnancy and had an ultra sound the day my water broke.  I was told everything looked great!  12 hours later, I was in the hospital.  They are now 22 months and into everything :)  You would never know they were preemies now.

I had twins, boy/girl. These was my fourth pregnancy, so I had 5 children under the age of 5 when the twins were born.

I made it to 34 weeks and 5 days. I went into labor and my water broke. There was blood in my water, so I had an emergency c-section. One of the placentas started detaching, but the babies were fine and had no problems. One went home with me and the other one 2 days after for observation.

They weighed 5lbs. and 5lbs 11oz.

I had high blood pressure during the pregnancy but kept under control. They're fine and healthy now!!

I am not a mother of multiples but I gotta say...HATS OFF TO YOU MOMMAS!!!  I had a hard enough time adjusting to each of mine as newborns and there was only one at a time!  I can't imagine double- and triple-duty!  Like I said, hats off to you!

To those of you who shared you loss, I offer my deepest condolences.  A very dear friends of mine lost twin girls on Christmas Day two years ago to TTTFS.  As would be expected, she still struggles with the holidays.

Here are my questions:

Did you give birth to multiples? How many? How much did they weigh? Were they conceived naturally or with "help"?  I have identical twin girls Brynn & Riley. They were concieved naturally and were a huge surprise! Brynn was 5lbs 10z and Riley 5lbs 8oz

Was it your first pregnancy? Do you have any other children? How many? Any other sets of multiples? It was my 2nd pregnancy  I have one other daughter named Grace who was 3 when they were born.

What week did you make it to? I made it to 36 weeks to the day

How long did the babies stay in the hospital? They both came home with me after the standard 2 days

Were there any complications during the pregnancy or birth? What kind? Placenta previa in the beginning which resolved itself. I started preterm labor at 28 weeks so I was put on bedrest until 36 weeks.  I delivered both of them naturally (I refused to have a c-section!) Both babies were head down but after baby a (brynn) came out her sister decided to flip breech. The doctor had to reach in and pull her out feet first which made for quite and interesting delivery. She later thanked me for having the courage to deliver naturally even with a breech baby. lol 

Were there any complications after birth? What kind?

 Both of them had trouble breathing at first and were sent to NICU right away...the longest few hours of my life. After 2 hours and alot of crying they brought them to my room in warmers and allowed me to have them in my room with a nurse monitoring them for the remainder of my stay. They also had trouble keeping their temperatures warm. I am still so thankful to Community North for helping me and letting them stay in my room. They also were jaundice and were sent home with bilirubin blankets

Yes, I gave birth to triplet boys without any clomid or the such.  I made it to 34 weeks and the boys weighed 5lbs. 10 oz., 4 lbs 13 oz. and 5 lbs 2 oz.  They went straight to the nursery and all three came home on the 6th day.
