Twins or Triplets or more!

Hi all,

Just curious to see how many parents of twins, triplets or more we have hanging around this site? Do you have boys, Girls, Identical, Fraternal & what age? Lets see if we can get some kind of list going on here. Although knowing my luck theres probably only a couple of us here lol!

I have a question for those with identical twins - how identical are your identicals and could you tell them apart to start with?

In the beginning I had no idea which one was which, we put bracelets on them with their names engraved on them but in photos I couldn't pick which one was which. It took about 6 weeks to begin to be able to tell them apart.

Now I don't think they look identical at all, but people who meet them for the first time always comment on how identical they are. To me they look completely different and when I look back at their baby photos I can tell which one is which by their expressions even tho at the time I had no idea.

was hard to tell the boys apart, they had the CPAP hats on, and were so tiny, but I could after awhile, plus they both act diff, in the hospital Zavier was stroppy (his blood pressure would rise if I held Luke LOL)

And we dress them diff, although for xmas day we though are going to dress them the same to confuse all haha
I can tell them apart now, Zavier has chicken pox scars poor wee man :)

When they're first born people always wanna buy them matching outfits lol! So sometimes you don't get a choice but I love testing my Mum by dressing them alike sometimes!

I also don't have twins, but as a first time mum who is amazed at how anyone manages 1 baby and a toddler I am totally in awe of mums who have multiple babies.

Does fraternal mean they were not identical.

I'll get out your thread now.

That is just that sweetest photo Emma!! What beautiful wee girls

Haha I just went to meet the CHCH girls from this site for a coffee group and being that it was my first time meeting everyone wasn't sure where I was going. Anyway I pulled onto the street and saw a Mother getting out of the car with a capsule. Figuring that it was the house I was going to I pulled up behind her and asked if she was part of the group? She said she was so I get my girls outta of the car to follow her then as we're standing on the driveway of this house (this lady had twins by the way) a couple of other Mothers with twins in capsules start up the driveway?!?! Turns out I was at the wrong house!!! I was 2 doors down from the house I was meant to be at, but this house had a Mum of twins that hosts multiple playgroups lol! Talk about random!

So must get onto joing the multiple birth club so I can join in
