She Didn't know because when Anakin told her about his dream he said "you die in child birth" and she said "and the baby" she wasn't pural.



I was just about to say that and you stole my thunder talk_hand

She found out around the same time Obi-Wan, Bail, Yoda, 3PO, and R2 did. She could've had both a boy's and a girl's name picked out beforehand just incase it was one or the other. In the film, she didn't know if it was a boy or girl.


Yep..most parents choose a boy and girl name early in the pregnancy...becuase they don't know yet, and so she had both in her head...DUGGY, you're awfully hung up on having posts closed...

I'm gonna have to agree with candycane. That pretty much says it all.

LOL! Agreed. Padme had picked out a boy's and girl's name because they didn't know the gender of the baby. Many couples do the same thing.

I think Duggy rightly thinks this thread should be locked because a) It's been discussed in many other threads and b)because the answer is obvious. Why keep threads like this open?

But if I may just throw another wrench into the works here.....I can accept that it seems that Padme did NOT know she was carrying twins. But then one has to wonder, how could she NOT know? Even with our relatively "primative" technology here on earth, parents are made aware way in advance of delivery if they are carrying twins or any other multiple birth. I'd have to imagine that in a GFFA they would have been able to detect a multiple birth in advance as well.

Unless Naboo custom does away with prenatal care altogether. Who knows.

We can imagine that all we want, but we don't really have any evidence that this is the case.

The RotS novel stated that Padmè and Anakin wanted the gender of they're baby to be a surprise. So, that’s why she never found out.

^^^^ But they would of known there was more than one baby when she went for check ups...unless they don't do that in the galaxy far, far away...

Yeah, force-keeper, but there's more to prenatal care than finding out the sex of your baby. You still go in for doctor's exams, etc. even if you don't want to know. And in the course of these exams a twin would eventually have been discovered. And that's something a medical expert *would* pass on, regardless. You never hear prospective parents say, "And don't tell us if we're having a multibirth--we want it to be a surprise!" You know?

And please, I'm not trying to get all critical on ROTS. The truth is, I loved this movie. It's just somthing I wondered about while watching it.

Look, I don’t know if she went for check up’s or not. It was not elaborated on and, IMO, didn't have to be. Maybe her handmaidens did the check-up for her. Regardless, she only new of one child up until she gave birth. happy

How are the handmaiden's suppose to do check-ups for her, Force-Keeper?
I agree with one thing...she knew she had only one baby right until she delievered, but I find it strange that she had no clue about it.

Just to make it clear, I never said that they did. I was just throwing out an idea, nothing more. I really don't think it even matters if she had a check-up or not, it's irrelevant.

No Padme did not know she was carrying twins. She believed for awhile she was carrying a boy (Luke) and later believe after Anakins return that it was girl (Leia). When the twins are born Padme is told before hand she going to deliver twins. Anakin doesnt know until ROTJ when he probes Lukes mind and learns that he fathered Luke and also Leia Organa.
