Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about the morning sickness factor. But what counts for one pregnancy does often not count for the other. Some women have had an awful first pregnancy but the second one was a walk in the park. It differs from pregnancy to pregnancy. Sadly, you will just have to wait and see what happens regarding the morning sickness. I wish you the best of luck for that one.

Twins is a difficult one. In order for you to have twins, if they are going to be non-identical, you will have to secrete two eggs at the same time during ovulation. They will need to be fertilized separately. Just as a matter of interest, when non-identical twins are in the womb they each have an amniotic sac, each with their own placenta.

In the case of identical twins a single egg is fertilized but during cell division the cell divides itself into two separate fetuses. In a case like this, they share the same amniotic sac with the same placenta.

The likelihood of conceiving twins increases if you or your husband have a family history of twins. But unfortunately there is no sure fire way of conceiving twins. I wish you the best of luck though!

You might end up with triplets!
