[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow this thread has been soooo eye opening.

I am a twin and I didn't realize how lucky my twin and I were!  We were born in the 80s in a small village not in America. We were 8.5lbs and 7.5lbs and never had any health issues.  Based on this thread this seems like a miracle given that there was very little health interventions for our mother back then.  I don't even think she gave birth in a hospital. I think it was a small birthing center and if something went wrong most likely we would have just died.

I have always loved being a twin. My sister is my closest friend and we are very very close.  I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world but I would prefer not to have twins.  [/quote]

You are lucky in the way that twins that were never carried to term or born with significant mental handicaps aren't here to contradict you.

It's like saying I smoked for 50 years and never get lung cancer, therefore smoking is safe.  It's called anecdotal evidence, and is not very helpful. [/quote]

I don't think PP was being sarcastic - i think most people do think twin pregnancies all go well because you see so many twins everywhere and you have to be in the world of loss etc to really learn how much more risky they can be than a regular pregnancy[/quote]
