Please no judgement! So, hubby and I have always talked about having a large family. I think I may only have one more pregnancy in me though…I’m not a fan of it at all and had some complications this time around. Not to mention, my babies keep getting bigger and I’m scared to see what the next one will weigh. This one weighed 9 lbs 5oz. My sister just had a 10lbs 10oz baby in May.
Anyhow, to the twin moms…did you do anything natural to help conceive twins? Hubby and I would like two more possibly but the idea of being pregnant once, even two more times sounds horrible. Thinking if we could somehow conceive twins, then that takes the pressure of two more pregnancies �� My great grandma had 15 kids…all singleton pregnancies, so it don’t think genetically I have a good chance of having twins. We have looked at adopting, but the process is so much more expensive. Thanks!

twin mom here, I don’t believe there’s really any way to up your chances ����♀️ there are medications your OB can give you but if you’ve had healthy pregnancies they probably won’t. Be careful what you wish for though, a twin pregnancy was THE hardest thing I’ve ever been through in my life, and I think most twin moms would agree.

@marchmom22,
yeah…I could only imagine. I told my hubby we need to slow down and maybe bigger age gaps would help us…he likes the age gap to be a year…at the most 2…but we have 4 kids…3 of which are 3 years old and younger. I think I just need time to let my body heal and maybe that would help my feelings towards pregnancy

I have 5 year old identical twin girls. Identical twins happen completely at random. They don’t even really know why or what causes the zygote to split.
Fraternal twins can have genetic factors to increase your chance of having them. Some woman are more likely to ovulate more than one egg based on certain inherited genes. Outside those genes and fertility medicines, nothing else would increase the chance of twins.

Hi there. I’m a twin and love it. As disgusting as this is because it’s my mum, shethinks you can have twins if you and your partner cum at the same time. I really didn’t need to know how I was conceived but I definitely haven’t forgotten it. I don’t know how accurate this is but good luck!
