CoNgRaTuLaTiOnS, Jessica!!!!!!!!!! That is AWESOME news! How incredibly exciting!!!!!!!!! I love little pregnant bellies. Too cute. Continue to keep us updated!

P.S. -- How is it going with the father and your parents? Is everything going alright?

hahaha I thought I was on the wrong forum for a sec lol - :D :D That's exactly the kind of picture the pervs like.

I didn't think about that. How can I delete the pic?

The doctor told me they are identical because they are sharing one placenta.

The father... I dont know what's going on with him, that's a whole other story lol. But right now he is the last thing I'm worried about.

congrats wow twins how exciting all children are a blessing and to become a mummy is fab i wish you all the luck in the world!:congrats: :bravo: :congrats:

Good for you, Jessica! Stay strong and don't even worry about him. He seems very immature anyway. :rolleyes:

Thought this might intrest you:)

Identical -- monozygotic (one zygote) -- twins form when a single fertilized egg splits into two genetically identical parts. The twins share the same DNA set, thus they may share many similar attributes. However, since physical appearance is influenced by environmental factors and not just genetics, identical twins can actually look very different.


Identical twins are always same-sex sets.
Fraternal -- or dizygotic (two zygotes) -- twins develop when two separate eggs are fertilized and implant in the uterus. The genetic connection is no more or less the same as siblings born at separate times. They may look alike, or they may not.

Scientists have theorized a third, hybrid type called polar body twinning, that occurs when an unfertilized egg splits into two parts and each part is fertilized by a different sperm. The twins would then share one-half of their gene set (from their mother). Because it is the father's DNA that determines the sex, the twins can be either same-sex or male/female.

So if appearance isn't a reliable guide in determining twin type, how can parents confirm their twins' zygosity? In some cases, it will be evident during pregnancy. Some identical twins form in a single sac, sharing a placenta and amniotic membranes. However, the number of placentas isn't always a clear indicator either. Two placentas of fraternal twins can fuse together and appear to be one. And identical twins may develop with completely separate placentas and sacs.

Congrats! i've been thinking about you lately because you usually post often and i hadnt seen you around. So glad things are going well. Can you imagine how fun twins will be (yes i know.. hard work too.. but that's invitable.. so dont' think about it) can't wait to hear updates!
