I'll give you two guesses.

Internet perving aside, I just found out that my two twin nieces are identical twins.



We weren't sure up til now - I mean, all babies look alike, yeah? But the hospital told my sister today that they're officially identical. I was hoping they would be non-identical so that I wouldn't have to worry about telling them apart. Goddammit! haha



Apparently, they're very rare - they are identical, but they had separate placenta and separate sacs (it's called dichorionic or diamniotic twins...).



So... cool, huh?



Anyone here an identical twin? Is it good, bad? Any tips on how to tell them apart in future?

I wish I had a twin.

13strong - it'll get easier as they get older. I have a couple of friends who have identical twins, and if you look at pictures of them when they were quite young it's impossible to tell who's who, but much easier now that their features have changed a bit independently.

It's kind of funny to me - these are my first close new relatives. My sister is the first of my siblings to have kids, and they make me go all stupid.



I am not normally fussy over babies, and I'm a pretty cynical person the best part of the time. But my girls make me a bit doolally.



Genetics is weird...



Anyway, I've got used to the idea of them being identical looking. I'm sure they'll be different enough in personality.

i went to school with them

I went to school with a pair of identical twins. I could tell them apart, so I always knew which one I was talking to, but I kept forgetting their names, so it didn't do me any good.

These twins are hot

I went to school with twins, too (their parents both taught at my school). But they separated for college, and people at both Occidental and Stanford were blown away that they each had an identical twin.

Went to school with a couple of twins... Cheering on the Vancouver Canucks who have Swedish Twin Forwards, Henrik and Daniel Sedin



:D

I would like to have a twin, and I would like to be a teacher someday, and sometime during one of my classes, I'd like for my twin to run into the room and yell, 'I've discovered a way to travel back in time!'

TheArtRobot, lol that will be cool and having a twin is good for magicians too. 8-)

im a twin, identical at that. even better is that we are redheaded identical twins :) its tons of fun, we used to switch places in high school. theres always someone to hang out with. and you get to use the 'royal we' all the time. weve ended up at different colleges and people never believe we have a twin. its great fun.

I'd like to...double their pleasure!!!

I actually like the little girl. Shes cute

"Hot" is exactly what girls love to be called.

And I have a hankering for some doublemint.

i just should have gone about it in a less offensive way. lol.
