twins (or more) rollcall

[throckenholt]

Someone suggested if on the D'ya ever wonder how life still carried on like this? thread - so I thought I would start the ball rolling in an idle moment.

I have 3.75 year old id twin boys, and a 5.25 DS1 as well.

Live in rural Norfolk, work part-time in computer support. DH works part-time as a research scientist, and spends the rest of his time looking after the boys and building an extension.

Life is hectic - but pretty good at the moment. Twins are a real challenge - but a total privilege and fascinating.

Ok I am gonna sound stupid asking this but what is a doula? Please don't laugh if it is something relly obvious

me!

dts 18 mnths and also ds (4) and a dd(6). Mine are little terrors atm, and I can't wait until they can talk jsut a little bit more.

I can't wait until they can talk jsut a little bit more.

We'll remind you of that in a year's time - I currently wish mine would talk a LOT less

lol, don't! Anything gotta be better than they are now, puleeease. dd and ds were def easier once they turned 2, but one things twins have def taught me is don't count on anything.

And me too! Live in Dorset,SAHM with 4 dds,DH works for Asda.

Me, me, me

me = 33
dd = 5
dts = 2
dp = newly 35
I cry and drink through being a mum as dp is an MD and never ever here .......
lives in Bonnie Scotland
fancies Bruce Springsteen and the two really gorgeous groundsmen she saw earlier wearing shorts and waving to her DT2 [swoon and thunk emoticon]

I live in Berkshire and work part time i IT support. My dh works in IT.

We have 4 year old non identical twin girls

blackCATsandbroomsticksJ - if they look very alike then they may well be id - but late implanting ones that had their own placentas (that is a common thing I have read about on the twinsclub forums in the past). - no way of telling for sure without a DNA test that costs about £80 I think.

charellie, I live in berks and have a dp in IT too, spooky!

1becomes3.... a doula. Not a silly question. Lots of people don't know. In the simplist terms a doula is a birth support companion. A postnatal doula comes to your home and helps empower you to be with your new baby (light housework, cooking, sharing baby care skills etc). A doula would be to the mother what her mother (ideally) would be. In short a doula "mothers the mother". She'll stay with you throughout your labour whether it's 40mins or 48 hours long. Does that help?
