I am 11 weeks pregnant and have just found out I'm expecting twins. I already have an 18 month old and whilst we very much wanted another one, we had to plan carefully so that we could manage financially. Both me and my partner have to work to cover bills and when I go back to work, along with the extra increase in costs that come from having one more the extra childcare cost means we won't be breaking even every month. Not only is this financially unsustainable, we don't have the kind of practical help I know you need with twins.my mum lives in Italy and my partners mum is nearly 70 and has alreadyadmitted she doesn't think she can help look after 3 sma children. Of course we won't have the money to pay for help ofany kind either. I manage well with one and we would have managed with one more but I just don't know how we can do this. Please don't tell me we'll just manage! I'd like to know how if anyone out there has had a similar set up. Oh and we live in a small two bedroom flat. Just about big enough for one more!
