Hi i have noticed when i have spoke to a few of you that you have twin in the family. I would love this forum to be for everyone including those with twins in the family.

It would be nice to know who has twins in the family and how you find them. Do they get on etc etc...

How likely do you think you would have twins if you fell pregnant again?

i know i have my girls but i'm always interested and love hearing other ppl's story's. xxx

DP's sisters are twins. They are mirror identical (one lefty, one right - opposite crowns etc). DP could tell them apart as children better than his parents. He used to close his eyes and they'd run around and then each hold his hand and he knew which was which every time!

Now they look very different but are really close. Them and their husbands do loads together now!

The 'eldest' is definatly the most bossy now though.

I have twin cousins also but I dont really know them as my uncle fell out with the family before I was even born.

There isn't any twins that I know of in the family.  I have a very small family.

Although I do have a friend whos an identical boy / girl twin.  She's the girl lol.  She has a big bro and sis!  What is the likelyness of that??  They all get on well.  I think the boys do their thing and the girls do theirs though.

My girls fall out alot but also get on loads. I find though that they are very close and they are always together if we go out somewhere.

They are really tired at the mo though and keep falling out. xx

I'm a twin!!! We're identical and mirror, although we are both left handed. Mum ays we were really hard work, one awake and one asleep! We did fight but then stick up for one another! We made a great team, and helped each other out of cots and under the stairgate!

We are still really close now, even though we live far apart. We got the same marks for our A levels, although in different subjects, but we've never reallyhad that strange twin esp thing!

The only other thing we "share" s that we've both had the same type of cancer, 15 1/2 years part. I had it first and Debs is going through chemo now!

Don't know how likely I am to have twins! Hope I don't, knowing what my mum went through!!!

my mums dad is an identical twin but i dont know what they were like as my grandad has alzheimers and his brother died before my mum was born.

my cousin has identical twin boys who are about 1 and a half, i cant tell them apart lol!

another of my cousins had twins non identical boy/girl but the boy died at birth so i couldnt tell you if they were similar

i always wanted twins but having my 2 at diff ages is hard enough lol!
