My husband and I always marvel at the questions that people ask us and the statements they make when we are out with our twin boys.\u00a0 The two most common are:<\/p>\n

“Are they twins?”<\/p>\n

“Looks like Double Trouble”<\/p>\n

Both of which I find equally irritating.\u00a0But, the one that really gets me… “are they identical?”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I DON’T KNOW!<\/p>\n

While that may seem like a crazy thing to not know, I can honestly say that I don’t.\u00a0 My boys were born via emergency c-section and were literally ripped out of me.\u00a0 The doctor did not take time to check the placenta before it was thrown out and unfortunately I had been gassed (the anaesthetic kind, not the chemical warfare kind) and my husband was not there yet to ask.\u00a0 Our specialist believed the boys were identical but could not tell if they shared a placenta or had two placenta’s that were fused together. (https:\/\/editorialrm.com<\/a>) \u00a0 That was the question we needed an answer to.\u00a0 Unfortunately, on the day of their birth we did not have the opportunity to find out.<\/p>\n

We could pay to have DNA tests run.\u00a0 But, in our hearts we already know.<\/p>\n
