Twins!

I'm pregnant with identical twins at 16 weeks along! Just wondering if anybody else is pregnant with twins or has had a twin pregnancy and what type. And what their experiences were like through their pregnancy. This is also my first pregnancy so a lot is unknown to me and my doctors talk a lot about twin to twin transfer syndrome and the risks and complications for this pregnancy. Just had my 16 week ultrasound and appt yesterday and the babies look great and everything is where it's supposed to be. I now start going every 2 weeks for ultrasounds and then periodic appts with the OB to check in. But I'm super nervous of all the risks and complications!

Thanks ladies, so far so good with the babies. At my last appt everything looked good, I start getting ultrasounds every two weeks now. Seems the further along the more complications but  I'm just trying to stay positive and hope for the best. Which is all I can do I guess.

Omg congrats, I wish I am having twins. I am only Sox weeks but only 1 sac so probably 1 baby :) you shouldn't have complications maybe you have to be more cautious and you have a risk of premature labour
