    Default Do you think Angelina Jolie's twins were conceived naturally?

    I was watching sunrise today when Angelina confirmed she is having twins, when I go to DDs school this morning some mums were discussing whether or not she conceived them naturally. I think there's a good chance she didnt as it seems a suspicious number of celebs are having twins but i guess when these people can afford to buy anything they want they figure why not this as well.
    What do you ladies think?

    Lol the things we find interesting!

    I don't think she did, I actually thought she was too underweight to concieve naturally anyway.

    Who knows!!!

    Does it matter?? Really??

    Being a Mum of twins I have to say that people questioning whether they are 'natural' or not is something that really gets to me.

    Twins are twins are twins are twins, whether conceived 'naturally' or 'artificially' ... seriously no one who's had twins is going to tell you it's a breeze... and honestly, I think anyone who 'deliberately' tries to conceive twins for a image thing seriously needs their head read.

    She's having twins, that's that. Whether naturally conceived or not makes absolutely ZERO difference in the time, effort, stress, organisation, and love it takes to raise them.

    I just wish her a healthy pregnancy and lots of support.

    (please, I don't mean to offend anyone, it's just a personal bug bare for me....)

    God knows, but it wouldn't at all surprise me if she didn't.

    It wasn't a bug at you, it was a general comment that if you are too under or over weight it can affect your ablity to concieve. Can, not will.

    Does it really matter how a child/children is/are conceived?

    Personally, I feel if someone is all excited about being pregnant, we should just be happy for them and let them be. Let's not question how they became pregnant.
    That's just my opinion.

    Sorry if I sound a little upset but the post just hit me. My sis has been trying to have a child for the past 11 years and they are trying IVF which costs lots of money. But it's their last chance to have a child. So your remark "....people can afford to buy anything they want they figure why not this as well." did not sit well with me.

    I can understand that, it goes hand in hand with the thing that bugs me, people assume that our DD wasn't 'planned' simply because DP and I aren't married. People seem to think they have a right to ask you whether your baby was 'planned' or 'conceived naturally' when it's really none of their business. What happened to simply being happy for people??

    On a lighter note think about this scenario:

    You have the option to BD with Brad Pitt or have artificial poke you in your bits by a Dr??
    Hmmmm don't know about you ladies but BDing with Brad Pitt wins hands down for me
