Honesty about twins? Experiences?

Question

Hi there! So I've been ttc for 7 months now with no luck :( my doctor has suggested clomid but I have read that it increases the risk of multiples. I believe 10 percent of women on clomid have twins? I would be sooooo thankful and blessed if I could even get pregnant on clomid... even more so with twins. BUT twins or multiples have not even come across my mind until the doctors appointment. 
So ladies out there that have had twins... how was the pregnancy? Any complications? 
Also the birth process... c section? Vaginal? 
And last but not least... taking care for the beautiful babies. How much harder was it for you? Any difficulties you came across? 
I'm sorry if anyone is somehow offended by this post? This is all just sooooo new to me. 
Thank you!!! Xxxx

Answer

I have not went through the labor with twins yet but I am pregnant with twins a boy and a girl. But when it comes to being able to deliver naturally or having a C-section sometimes it depends on the doctor. I have found a Doctor Who is willing to deliver them naturally as long as the first one is head down and there’s no other complications. I’m seeing midwives in a birthing center where I was hoping to deliver but I have to have the twins in the hospital but they work with a Doctor Who is willing to work with us to do it as close to how I wanna as possible. I know there’s a chance for early delivery but I’m hoping that everything goes all right. I’m almost 19 weeks and so far everything has been OK. I conceived them naturally which was a surprise.

Answer

I’m a clomid baby. I’m a triplet. My mom was on the lowest dose possible and only for one cycle. My mom had a lot of pre-term labor, was on bed rest from week 16 on. We were born premature at 29 weeks, and we are all perfect thriving individuals with no issues. 
One of my girlfriends took clomid and had twins. She had a c-section, no complications. She was induced right at 37 weeks. I feel like she’s supermom because I know how hard one baby is, and she did it times two!

Answer

I just bumped up to 150 mg of Clomid and honestly I'm hoping so hard for twins! I'm 35 and want at least 2 more kids.

Answer

I conceived twins naturally on my second month TTC. Sadly I lost them at 19w5d due to incompetent cervix. No full reason why I lost them. I was huuuuuge. So much fluid in there and the babies were tiny when I gave birth to them. But the thought of 2 baby boys was so scary yet so exciting. I don’t have anything to compare the pregnancy to cos that’s the only time ive been pregnant. If I knew I could carry them to full term, I would love to have twins but my body is only capable of holding one in at a time. 
Good luck and sorry this isn’t happier news. I know many people who have had twins and I even had a friend who had triplets last year. They were born at 30 weeks and stayed in nicu for a few weeks but now they are healthy happy one year olds.
