So we only wanted two children total. Our firstborn is great and we tried for our second and I’m now currently 21 weeks pregnant with our twins.😂 Total surprise to the both of us since neither family has history of twins.
So I want to hear everyone’s stories of how they revealed it to their loved ones?!
Every family members reactions were priceless in their own way. I didn’t show my mom my first ultrasound right away because there is no bull 💩an experienced mom of 3. I saved it to later on showed her and she didn’t believe that there were two babies until I showed her my doctors paperwork labeled “twin pregnancy”. My DAD, oh god I told him even further along when I got more ultrasounds saying clearly Twin A and Twin B side by side. I was sitting behind him and my husband and siblings were sitting in front of my dad. I got an envelope out with all the ultrasounds from earliest to latest clearly stating the Twins, everyone went silent when they saw the envelope and my dad asked why did you all go quiet? I asked my dad do you want to see the ultrasound? He said nah I already saw all 3 of you aliens come out of your mom the photos all look the same. I was like are you sure?? And he was like yeah it’s ok I just wanna hold the baby when it comes out. I asked again insisting are you sureee?? Even my little sister was insisting are you SURE? And he was like fine let me see, he started going through our little timeline of photos and he was like yeah this isn’t anything new it just looks like a little alien. And then he got to the ultrasound clearly saying side by side twin A and twin B and he paused and was like twins?! And looked panicked at my husband and he was like yeah there’s two. 😭
I would love to hear some people’s experiences with reactions!

Ahahah! I loved reading this! Twins run in my side so my family were very much expecting me to have twins. Whereas my husbands side ... they were absolutely shocked !
We showed them the ultrasound and my husbands dad stared at the scan photo for ages ...to be my mother-in-law leaned over and said what it is Dave . She then bellowed ! TWO!! TWO!! I CAN'T BELIEVE ITS TWINS!!! she looked at her son and said how has that happened...we don't have twins in our family ahaha!
They were both absolutely over the moon and are now completely twin obsessed and I love it xxx
