Twins!

[HeatherCatherine82]

Overwhelmed with excitement to welcome Mary Frances and Albert Henry into the world this month!

But what's childbirth like with twins?? Is it much harder, more painful etc.??

I have two beautiful DCs already. I gave birth to my ds when I was 16, and it was a very easy birth. Dd's birth 4 years later was a little harder (retained placenta and moody midwife ), but not too bad.

I haven't given birth in 7 years, and I'm really scared about the pain, especially with twins.

So are there any of you who've had a multiple birth before? What was it like??

Awww twins twice the fun.
I've never had twins but I am a twin and my mum only says good things about having two at once.
She had a normal delivery, we were born 20 minutes apart and she said even looking after us as babies isn't a daunting as people make out.
She said its lovely as they get a little older as they entertain each other with their antics .
Wishing you all the best

Congratulations! I can't offer advice, only support. I am also having twins which week be induced at 36 weeks which is first week of March. I have decided to have an epidural a early as possible in the birth and then hopefully I won't care what is going on at the business end!
I have one dd already and she was born with the help of forceps and I had to have an episiotomy, I'm praying that the recovery is less painful this time.
Keep us posted and good luck. X

Congratulations. I have 2 sets of twins but had c-sections with them both so can't answer your questions x

Thanks for all your help and advice guys! :)

I'm hoping to have an epidural early in the birth, too.
I'm being induced on 15th Feb! Very excited and very scared xx

Two sets of twins? Wow! You deserve a medal xx

Let me know how you get on with the induction. I am hoping mine make an appearance on their own before I have to be induced. Heard that it can go on for three days! I hope your induction goes quickly for you.

Thanks Franchini! I hope so, too xx
