Rona Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 thank you Rona, you are such a love, are you offering to babysit all four??? Oooer Perhaps not all at the same time . I've had several friends with twins and I remember one saying that when she took them out and people would look in the pram and say how lovely they were and how they would love to have twins she often felt like saying 'well here you are you can have them!' because she might have been up since 3 o'clock in the morning feeding and changing first one then the other then getting them and herself up and ready to go out after doing piles of washing (this was in the days before disposable nappies). Poor mum was absolutely frazzled but the babies knew how to look cute and charm their audience with happy smiles and gurgles. We went to the show yesterday. Surprised I didn't see you, as there was only about 50,000 people there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 they are non identical twins from different eggs which is the safest form of twins. . I've never heard of this and I did quite a lot of research when I was pg with them. Id. with different sacs yes, different eggs no because by default that makes them dizygotic. Really interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 That sounds very scientific bronze. I'd never heard of dizygotic so had to google it and found this which explains it quite clearly. (I think ) http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-monozygotic-and-dizygotic-twins.htm I must now try and remember to ask anyone with twins if they are monozygotic or dizygotic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizinsa Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 they are non identical twins from different eggs which is the safest form of twins. . I've never heard of this and I did quite a lot of research when I was pg with them. Id. with different sacs yes, different eggs no because by default that makes them dizygotic. Really interested Surely they are dizygotic because they are non-identical and come from different eggs?!? Congratulations! For some reason I always wanted to be a twin, they will be very luckly to have one another! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkleeeeee Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 just had a look at my notes and they are called DICHORIONIC. i dont feel as sick today so i am going to spend the rest of the afternoon in the garden with the kids reading my new twins book. i have been rushing around delivering and collecting packages and children all morning and the car windscreen crack has just been mended by a lovely rac man and i am worn out.

ajm200 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Put your feet up and relax. You won't get much time to yourself when the twins arrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 It was my fault I missed her saying 'non' as I'm used to reading non-identical as one hyphenated word. Completely my fault. Though lizinsa thats exactly what I was saying. I could see how you could get identical twins from two eggs which you obviously can't Now I remember why I've been staying away fromt he forum. I'm too tired to type straight. btw mine were dichorionic diamniotic dizygotic. I think. The whole thing fascinates me. Sparklee. Glad yours are the safest kind no risk of twintotwin or anything. And STOP doing so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
