Can my twinsister experience my pregnancy symptoms?
Im 23 and live in America now, my twin sister is in South Africa. With my first pregnancy (I was in south africa still) she got all my symptoms, I never had morning sickness or anything bad ever in my pregnancy, she got all the symptoms for me!!! lol. And now Im pregnant again, and even before I tested, she asked me if Im pregnant because she throws up all the time, and feel so sick, lol. While Im 6 weeks pregnant now, and feeling great, no sickness, but she is so sick now ;) he he he. Had anyone ever had an experience like this where the twin gets the symptoms of the other one? Is this even possible? Any opinions is much appreciated!!! When she was pregnant though, I felt fine... :/

This is known to happen many times with twins and even stronger if identical twins. Twins can and do feel many things from their twin not just pregnancy symptoms this is well documented.
Well, you are almost certainly NOT pregnant. If all you did was give him a hand job after he was fingering you, theres no way any sperm got in to the egg to fertilise it. I can guarantee that (unleess you did some really messed up stuff that night). Also, you will likely not feel symptoms the day after the baby is conceived, as that would just be way to quick a change. The reason you feel sick: youre either mentally worried, getting like a placebo affect going on, or you may just be feeling crappy today. I can guarantee that, based off your description, you have 0 chance of being pregnant. If your worried, by wone of the pregnancy tests and use it.
When my twin sister was pregnant, I got a lot of her symptoms. Even before she told me, I'd have nausea and be sick and the randomest times of day. Everything I ate I threw up, sometimes I wouldn't have to eat anything to throw up. When she finally told me she was pregnant she admitted she'd been having terrible sickness too. We're fraternal twins BTW
hi, wow thats really interesting....
i dont have a twin but my brother experienced the EXTREME hunger i was experiencing in the first 12 weeks... i would get a pain where i was soooo hungry i had to eat everything in sight and he had that exact feeling too. we spent loads of time together during those first few weeks because my hubby was working away and he believes he was picking up my symptoms. he also picked up my insomnia!
It can happen, it depends on how much of a psychological connection you both have with each other. I also believe twins have this more than others. :), And maybe your twin is more psychologically connected to you than you are to her : /, Good luck with the pregnancy :) xx
