I am the mother of 2.5 year old b/g twins. I had a great pregnancy, in the first trimester I was so tired. I was induced at 39 weeks because of their size. The boy was 8lbs 1oz and the girl was 6lbs 6oz. I craved steak at the end of my pregnancy! I could not get enough!

My twin pregnancy was actually relatively easy until the last month. I went full term with my twins so they were just so heavy at the end and I was in constant pain. I was tired a lot but they were my first so I could take it easy most of the time.

I have 2 year old boy/girl twins. They were IVF babies. I passed out almost every minute for almost 9 months because my heart couldn’t sustain pumping blood to two placentas plus my own brain so my brain got the shaft. I had contractions from 13 weeks on and needed weekly painful injections to keep me from delivering pre term. I went into labor at 31 weeks which was stopped with mag and a weeks hospital stay. Then I was on bed rest until I delivered at 37 weeks via c sect cuz they were both breech.They were both healthy he was 6lbs 11 oz and she was 4lbs 13oz. My older son was a breeze, never a single issue. My twins were absolutely worth it but if I had had them first I would have had only two kids…not three. Now I do egg donation and have had a couple successfully deliver twin boys as a result. I know there was question if Marcia had used an egg donor. It doesn’t matter, what she’s going through to give them life…they couldn’t be more HER’S genetic or not.

I’m only 12 weeks pregnant with twins, but I had all day sickness from the 7th week until this week. I had to be put on bed rest once, and I am VERY tired all the time. So to me this is a much hader pregnancy then my first two.

My girls were born at 34 weeks after 9 weeks of total bedrest (left-side). I suffered from stage 1 twin-twin transfusion syndrome. That’s where one baby is stealing the blood from the other one. Lily was 2 lbs 13 oz and Maddie was 4 lbs 9 oz. They were in the NICU for 2 weeks but have had no long term problems so far.

I had to eat a lot. It was crazy having to go from having the OB tell me she only wanted me to gain 20 lbs the whole pregnancy to eat as much as you possibly can. They wanted to maximize nutrition as much as possible, and I drank 2 high protein drinks daily as well.

It is definitely a full time job and very demanding in the beginning. I’ve only got the two, but I often wonder what one would be like.

It’s so easy to see from Marcia’s attitude she is going to be a GREAT twin mama!

Like Marcia, I was of “advanced maternal age” when pregnant with twins for our first (and last) pregnancy. While I dodged the morning sickness bullet, debilitating exhaustion was my constant, unrelenting symptom through all three trimesters.

Wishing her all the very best—a lengthy pregnancy, and a happy and healthy meeting with her twosome.

Will definitely tune in tomorrow to see her progress.

I love Marcia she is so good on DH, as well as when she was on Melrose Place. I’m so happy for her, and can’t wait to see her twins. I’m glad you guys posted she will be on Rachael’s show, I will be sure to watch it. She is showing on DH already, she looks adorable. Twins are hard work, but their so cute to see together. Wonder if Marcia is having boy/girl, that’s what I think for some reason.

I am a 35 year old mother of twins. I had a horrible pregnancy because I was severly sick for the first 6 months. I was tiny to begin with, at 5 ft. 4″ and 102 lbs. I only gained 20 pounds my entire pregnancy, but my twin sons were born at almost 5 pounds each and they were 6 weeks early. However, I think you are much more tired AFTER they are born! The first three months I was living on 2 hours of sleep a day. Now, they just turned a year old on Halloween and are so much fun!

My identical boys are almost 27 months old. They were 34 weekers, I had an emergency c-section for preeclampsia. They were 5lb and 5lb1oz, both 19 inches. I craved bagels with cream cheese during my second trimester. I had awful heartburn from about 30 weeks when I got put on bedrest. Man it was bad, I should have bought stock in Tums. I didn’t have much morning sickness, just like 2 weeks at the end of my first trimester. I only threw up once LOL, after a day of swimming laps and sitting up late talking with friends. That was before I knew I was having twins though, I didn’t find that out until 18 weeks.

I am not a mother of twins but an aunt of twin 18 month old boys. They were both born prematurely so they were really small and stayed in the hospital for over 2 months. The one baby has CP and is legally blind because of it. So it’s a struggle to take care of two at once!! I can’t even imagine doing it myself and well I am also able to have twins too! I wish her luck. But lucky for her she’s got lots of money and can afford the help.
