PiscesTwo Sets of Twins at 22
A deployed soldier returns home for the birth of his second set of twins.
In 2004, Elisa Nethers of Newark, Ohio gave birth to twin girls (conceived without the use of fertility drugs). At the time of their delivery, her husband, Brandon, was half a world away, stationed in Iraq. When she and her husband decided to try for a boy nine months ago, she got pregnant again--this time, with twin boys! Since her husband was on his second tour of duty in Iraq, Elisa, 22, faced the possibility of going this delivery alone, as well.
But Brandon just returned home for two weeks of leave in anticipation of the twins' birth. "My due date is February 28th, but with twins, they think I can go any time now," Elisa told Mom•Logic. "We hope we'll have the babies this weekend, since Brandon is only here two weeks. Brandon is even more excited than I am. He was deployed when I found out I was pregnant, so I had to tell him the news over the phone. He was happy, but at the same time he was sad because he wasn't going to be here for the delivery. But now he is."
What are the odds? (Probably even higher than the odds of having two sets of twins back-to-back without fertility drugs--which, incidentally, is 1 in 10,000.) We'll update you when Elisa gives birth...hopefully soon.

I am 23 and have two toddlers which is hard enough. My age does play a factor on how competent people think I am as a mother. I couldn’t imagine having to do it with my husband a world away. Not to mention she’s about to have two more than me. God bless her.
From your Great Aunt Penny in Florida I sent best wishes and many blessings on Tuesday when the boys arrive. Stay safe Brandon and God speed………much love to all of you.
Congrats……. I am also 22 yrs old with a set of twin girls!!! I alway say if I get pregnet again, I will have twin again… LOL
Good for you, hope you have alot of support… I’m sure you do, but as I know it is tough sometimes with one set, and the father away… But it is all worth it!!! =) Wish you the best!!!
my sister is 24 and has 2 sets of twins… 4 year old twin boys and 2 year old twins that were a boy and girl… plus she has a 5 year old boy… she didnt take fertility drugs either
am 24 and my twin girls are 17 months old and i love it!!! being a mum is the best thing in the world
I am 31 years old. I have two sets of twins, all girls. They are aged 2 and 5, and both sets are fraternal. I didn’t use any fertility drugs either.
I am 28 yrs old and have one set of twins boy and girl. They are night and day. I am afraid of the chance of having twins again, so none planned for the future.
I am 25 years old and i have a 4 year old daughter, a 3 year year old set of twin girls and a 2 year old set of twins boy and girl. Believe me, i know exactley how u feel.
I am 28 with a set of boys and a set of girls, 22 months apart, naturally,(hey we are 1 in 10,000!) It was very busy at first, I would almost say hard (some days), but always remember it does get easier. They will be able to tie their own shoes and brush their own teeth. The little things will make all the difference. Good Luck!
PS My husband was also in the military and he missed the birth of his second set of twins, and the pregnancy. He was bummed.
I am 27 and have 2 sets of twin boys without fertility drugs too. And they dont run in the family. My 4 1/2yr old boys are identical and my 3 month olds are fraternal.
i had a set of twins in 20004 and another set 20005 the second set came two days befor the first sets first birthday.
congrats! I am pregnant with my second set of twin girls had my first when i was 18 with two girls and i am now 20 about to have another set of twin girls… It seems to be more common these days!!!! wow were awsome
I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one that has had two sets of twins back to back!! My girls are 3 and my second set are going to be 2 in September. I didnt need fertility drugs either so I guess we are just lucky like that!!
