Hi, I'm expecting twins in October and am trying to get my head around what it's going to be like.
I don't have any family in the country, friends are all about an hour away, DH will be back at work pretty quickly and his mother has already said that she WILL NOT (and yes, she did say it like that) be helping out - lovely as she is she's really not the maternal type - however she has offered to pay for a nanny.
It's not something I've ever considered as we couldn't afford it ourselves but I am going to take her up on the offer! I'm just not sure what sort of help would be best - help with the babies, help around the house, help at night?? And would that be a nanny, maternity nurse, post-natal doula, mother's help??? And what it will be like having a stranger in the house?
Sorry about the rambling! Any advice most appreciated!
