Pregnancy

Do you remember how you felt when you found out it was twins? Elated? Afraid? Excited? Nervous? Angry? Overjoyed? Chances are, you aren't alone. Here are some real quotes from twin moms about their initial reactions to finding out they were carrying twins:

When I had my first child, I had never really researched circumcision. I knew it was something the men in my family had done, and I also knew my son's biological father was intact (although at the time, I didn't know the word "intact," and just thought of him as "uncircumcised"). After my son's birth, the nurses asked me about when I wanted him circumcised, and his biological father said he recommended against it. When I asked him why, he simply responded: "It isn't necessary." With that short response, it was decided. We didn't circumcise our son.

Four years later, by then married to my now and forever life partner, I was again pregnant. Wondering whether or not we would have a boy or a girl, we began to discuss whether or not we would circumcise a son. On the one hand, my husband was circumcised and had never given it a second thought. On the other hand, our oldest son was intact. One way or the other, we were going to make a decision that would leave any new baby boy looking different from someone in the family. So we began to research.
