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! :) 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.
