Who had a smooth pregnancy with twins?

I know that twins or multiples pregnancy is high risk. And a lot of complications will occur during the pregnancy.

I am having some complications myself like hyperthyroid and also gestational diabetes. It is so frustrating because i am 28 weeks pregnant right now.

I just want to know who had a smooth pregnancy with no problems at all?

And I heard it is easy to get preeclampsia when you have twins and you need to be hospitalized for the rest of your pregnancy? That is so scary!!!

I had no bed rest, and no complications.  I carried my twins until 37 and a half weeks.  I felt just like I did when I was pregnant with my first child ( a singleton pregnancy), but I was just a lot bigger in the tummy, and so more tired.  Only crazy thing that happened was at the delivery.  I delivered one vaginally, but had to have a crash c-section with my second son.  But everything was fine, and the boys were great!  No NICU time, and we all came home together from the hospital!

I'm 36wks  pregnant with B/G twins and I haven't had any problems. My pregnacy was great. Right now in the beginning of my nineth month I just started to feel miserable and heavy. It's not that bad because i'm still working everyday.

i'm curious about this as well! I'm 12 wks w/ twins & I was put on bedrest twice already for unexplained bleeding. I'm just worried this is a pre-cursor to more complications in the future.

My pregnancy was fine until 24 weeks when I started to dialate. I was put on bedrest until I went into labor at 34 weeks. Other than that and normal pregnancy woes it was very easy given I was carrying 2 babies and not 1.

I did the gestational diabetes test and everything was normal. I worked out until I was 24 weeks and ate VERY healthy until my 3rd trimester (when my big mac cravings started) which I still ate tons of fruits, veggies and a TON of water.
