First thoughts that came through your head

What were the first initial thoughts that went through your head, good or bad?

Mine were:
How are we going to afford this
How are we going to have the room (we live in a 2-bd apt)


After the worried thoughts came and went, happy thoughts came through

Next!

The first thing i SAID outloud was "I knew it"

Twins run in my family and of course being the non maternal one of the family I would be the one to have two.

So you've always wanted them? That's so cool that you got it

Me to!

 

At my ultrasound the tech started off with "There's the head . . . and there's another head . . ." I thought she meant "there's another view of the head", and DH thought she meant "you have a two-headed baby" . . .

I actually can't remember what I thought, except that we laughed so much through the rest of the ultrasound that the tech had a hard time taking measurements because my whole belly was vibrating. Then when I called my mom and told her, all she could do was laugh . . . couldn't even speak!

I felt totally excited

 

I joked with my husband the week before finding out that we were going to have twins.

So, my first thought was I knew it! We have a few set of twins in our family.

His first thoughts were; stop joking. Then we need to get a new vehicle!

 

A and B what? Had no idea what they were talking about and was clearly not expecting two.

 

I was STUNNED! Twins run in both sides of our families but we come from big families so we just never thought it would be us - didn't even talk about it.
I was stunned and speechless when the doctor told us. My DH had the biggest smile on his face. When I returned to work after out appt. - I cried my heart out in the ladies room - I keep asking myself - How am I going to do it? Can we afford it? How am I going to do it - was my biggest concern. I cried for several weeks and then I said to myself - suck it up - there's a reason for this. A few weeks after that I was super excited and we shared it w/ our families.

To this date - I feel TERRIBLE-TERRIBLE-TERRIBLE for reacting the way that I did. I hope my girls never find out. I love them so much - I was just overwhelmed at that moment.

yeah I always wanted twins and was so excited the first u/s they told us 1 healthy growing sack forming.....second u/s IT'S TWINS! I cried I was so happy.....third u/s they saw another sack and heart beat but the third baby was so small and didn't make it....but still have 2 healthy little ones growing and kickin....twins run in mine and DH's family and we also were on meds.

 

Background info(reg ob seen one hb and another "empty sac" They sent me to Hospital to use the big u/s machine. I went into thinking i had one hb and the other not viable.
So when the hospital tech did it i said...
"Are you sure? Oh ****. Check again..." I was not expecting it at all. So i was scared and nervous.

One month later had another u/s and they see the 3rd empty sac and my reaction than was....
"What everytime you do an u/s there is another. Check and make sure there isn't a hb. Last time you all said no hb and than there is one. I want you to be sure!" As of now i don't "think" there is a 3rd... Would have been happy to see it but freaked out....

:rofl: That's great!

We went through infertility and paid out of pocket, my first thought was : "thank God because I am NEVER doing this again" Now after having them, I would but at the time the feelings were still very raw.

 

My first twin pregnancy it was expected since we did IVF... BUT.. this pregnancy I was still shaking during lunch after the ultrasound. We were trying to figure out how it would work! We only have two kid bedrooms and this house is not set up to be kid friendly! I was getting used to the idea when two weeks later we found out that one had vanished. :cray:

 

My first thought was:

How am I going to be able to take care of two at once. It was like scared excitement, if that makes any sense.

 

My first thought was holy sh*t! Then I said it isn't possible b/c my sister just had twins. I was never disappointed, but it did take me several weeks to adjust to the news. It is a lot to absorb when you already have three kids...

 

definitely a sinking in my stomach feeling.
Never in a million years would I have thought of twins.
How are we going to afford this?

Now I'm really excited, especially about all the cute photo-ops I'll have B)

 

First thought: I knew it!

I had an eary u/s at 6w when they said one baby one empty sac. The 10w u/s was just to make sure the non viable twin was resorbing but I really felt pretty confident that there would be two babies in there, I was still floored though, I'm usually wrong with the whole intuition thing.

DH is a twin and has always said twins are the way to go, so he was pumped. Maybe a little shoked but pumped.

I thought my OB was playing a joke on us. He cheered!
Then I instinctively thought to myself, "Twin pregnancies are more problematic." But I was hopeful and excited.
My DH about passed out.

 

What?! Like I had misheard the Tech. Then wow! I was really really happy. I went in early for the u/s because there was spotting so I thought I was having a miscarriage. We had only been off birth control for 3 months! So, wow it was for a multitude of reasons.

Now it's wow...I can't believe we have survived! The first three months were the hardest of my life! Not to scare you or anything.

 

Ok, I have to ammend my first post here. I had twin thoughts before the ultrasound because I knew exactly when I had ovulated at the time I got pregnant, and I NEVER feel it unless I was on fertility drugs (before). So, I had a feeling that I had released more than one egg. So, I wasn't all that surprised, but I was having issues trying to figure out how we were going to do this again!!

 

I had suspected it because this pregnancy was SO different than my other ones from day one, so like another pp, It was kind of an "I knew it!" moment, but it was still a shock to see 2 babies on the U/S screen! I laughed for the rest of the appointment and when it was all over, I told the Dr that I was sure he gave me some great information, but all I heard was "TWO"!! I was very happy and overjoyed to find out there were 2

 

I was soooo excited, it felt like I had won the lottery. I have always wanted twins and told my friends how I would love to have twins when I got pregnant. To this day, one of my friends tells everyone the story of how I used to talk about wanting twins and then ended up having them.

 

Well,
WE knew that after two misacrriages i was too depressed to try again without success! So i googled CLOMID and took just one round in dec and we gt pregnant !!! At first i couldn't believe i was preg took that test 3 times and then when i was send to u/s at 5 weeks as doc sd my leveles were high i just did not know what to expect!!!
THEN in the u/s the tech lady sd there i sone sac and ..... there is another one! SO i was thrilled, happy,shocked and so many things ta once!!! My husband was so happy! he just couldn't believe!! We don't have twins in either side, so these are the first in both families!!!! i do also have another secret, but would love to share only with my friends!!

Take care

how are we going to do this

 

At the very first ultrasound after my Invitro, they saw 3 little dots so I thought, Holy Crap!!! I was overwhelmed with joy just to be pregnant and simultaneously terrified. Then at the next ultrasound there were only two and I felt a little sad but less scared at the idea of carrying twins and then my very next thought was, what are they? (as in gender) I had to wait for sometime to find that one out but there is no way I could have gone all the way not knowing.

 

Me - I was elated and terrified
I worried that after all we had gone through to get pregnant we were now at a higher risk of things going wrong.

DH – “I TOLD YOU SO!!” :yahoo:

With this being our first and probably only children I am with one of the other posts – I am glad we only have to go through this once! We cant wait for them to arrive!

 

Background - I had an elevated AFP and had to go in for an emergency U/S (and that was my first U/S).

When the technician told us we were having twins...I literally jumped out of the examination table and screamed....WHAT????? :lol: My DH's eyes were glued to the monitor. He couldn't believe what he was seeing

The whole time my scan was done and measurements taken...I was thinking...How are we going to handle two babies???!!!!!

Took us about a week to get the news digested...Now, we are super excited!!!! :banana: :itwins_boys:

 

The very first thought...I was on the ultrasound techs table and she said "one baby...ooooooooooo..theres another baby!" I sat right up and said "Are you F*'ing S*'ing me????" They were the first twins she ever diag and had no tact and defin did not ease into it. I was in shock and it took me almost 3 hours to be ok enough to drive home. All the way home all I could think of was "7 kids...OMG Im never gunna sleep or be rid of diapers". My husband laughed cause he thought I was kidding him until I showed him the pics. Then his words were "hope they are boys cause if there girls Im moving out for 1 week a month!" :blink:

 

I couldn't believe what I was seeing and being told because I wanted twins sooooooooo bad and this was my third sonogram by then I had just about given up and thought there was only one.

 

I thought "you HAVE to be kidding me"!

I really didn't believe it.

 

My very first thought, when hubby was standing behind the u/s tech, looking at the screen and telling me "Remember how we were joking about it being more than one?" was:
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! Literally. I yelled so loud, I think I probably scared some women right out of the waiting room. My second thought was: There aren't any more hiding in there, are there?

I think I hyperventilated for about a month after that, every time I thought about TWO, TWO, TWO.

 

My first and only thought for two weeks was "Oh my God Oh my God..." that was the only thing I thought or could say!

 

When I first saw my girls on the u/s screen I literally screamed. I couldn't believe it! I was scared out of my mind, but completely thrilled because the 'ole maternal clock had been ticking for me for quite some time.

My husband's first words were "I gotta start saving money!"

 

"Oh Sh!t" is all i said over and over. Then was SUPER stoked....
i remember saying over and over, "There's two?"
