Today, I went to the hospital in labor expecting a baby boy. I ended the day with identical twins, a baffled doctor, and a husband convinced that our sons can clone themselves. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to my first ultrasound appointment. The daughter I was hoping for is actually going to be boy triplets. FML
Today, one of my twin sons found out he's going to be a dad. His little sister who loves science ended up telling him that, since he has a twin who is genetically identical, he's genetically the baby's dad too. My son, being a bit dim, took this to mean his brother slept with his wife and hit him. FML
Today, I announced my fourth pregnancy, this time with twins. I heard my mother mutter, “Finally two kids from the same dad.” FML
Today, after we had our daughter on purpose, then had twin girls by accident, my husband was going to get a vasectomy while I also decided to get my tubes tied as an extra precaution. At the appointment, they did a scan to make sure I’m not pregnant already… BOOM! I’m 7 weeks pregnant with twins again. FML
Today, after my wife gave birth to another of our daughters, she announced that this was the last one. When I reminded her I still needed a son to carry on my name, she replied, "Well, you've got four girls. You want a boy? Birth him yourself!" FML
Today, my sister-in-law announced that she’s pregnant. With my kid. And the doctor thinks it might be twins. FML
Today, I came home to my wife crying. She had mixed up our newborn twin girls and couldn't tell which was which. I looked at the girls. Neither could I. FML
Today, my wife had our first child. He's identical to her coworker. FML
Today, I was told I will be having twins; this came as a shock since there are no twins in my family. When I asked my mom about it, she said that she wasn't surprised and not to worry about it because she had "absorbed her twin" and that the problem would "take care of itself." FML
Today, my husband is not talking to me because he was happy with the two children we had, but I had major baby fever and spent a year talking him into having just one more baby, and the ultrasound just showed I’m having triplets. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

This is actually more common than people think... The children can lay side by side, making it easy to miss the second baby during an ultrasound. The babies can also sync their heartbeats, also making it difficult to hear them separately, causing the doctor to believe there is only one.

I wish I had a twin.

If your sons could clone themselves wouldn't you have four babies

They were only expecting one baby, so the dad was saying the son cloned himself to make two.

The same happened to my mother only in reverse: She was told she'd have twins, but came home with just one.

Congrats! My Dad was an identical twin and 2 things he warned me about when I was having twins were to not dress them alike and make sure they have pics of them as individuals too not just always together. Mine are boy and girl and people could still tell they were twins even dressed differently. Have fun!

Congratulations! In my humble opinion, this is not really a FML, unless your husband is serious... ohh and you should consider another doctor for the next time. Good luck with the babies!

I'm assuming you are replying to the person a couple posts up and not the OP. But you know, they have a handy reply feature for that.... it makes it less confusing. Anyway, not everybody gets regular periods, some people go months without getting them. There used to be a show "I didn't know I was pregnant" or something like that.... anyway it happens, some people don't really gain weight or find something else to blame it on, they don't get regular periods in the first place, they have other medical conditions to blame sickness and whatever on, etc...
