I think it's great that you'll have 6 children and they're all spread out in age. You've given a lot of love :)

Congratulations! You'll find this forum so supportive and you don't feel like the minority. I thought I was the only one pregnant with a 17 & 14yr old. It feels like I've never been pregnant before!!!

Hi NaTasha!I totally understand the shock you're going through. Although I'm not pregnant with twins, I found out yesterday that I'm 8 weeks pregnant also. I have 2 children a 16 year old daughter and a 7 year old son. This was totally unplanned! On top of the huge age gaps between my kids, I also have Multiple Sclerosis, so I'm terrified! I'm 34 years old and my husband and I thought we were done. LOL........ It still has me TOTALLY SHOCKED!

You sound like me except I don't think I'm having twins. I have my ultrasound next month. Everyone keeps teasing me though because I'm 12 weeks and look five months. I have two boys and two girls already ages 9-19.
