LOL! Its a little hard to condense into one post
Firstly congratulations!!! It feels very, very special to be a mum of multiples and, although it is masses of work, you will always feel amazed at yourself! Took me 6 months to stop saying "OMG there are 2 babies" every time I walked into the room
My antenatal care was at the hospital (consultant led) rather than at my GPs surgery. You attend much more frequently and are kept a close eye on. You can expect many more scans (I had one every visit) and sometimes they run heart monitoring (a pad stuck on your tummy....one for each baby and one for you).
Its like sticking a pin in a dartboard blindfolded working out whether or not you will have a natural birth and at what stage. Personally, I had a natural (ish) birth (waters broken) just short of 41 weeks, but it varies hugely person to person. Some hospitals have a 37 week C-section policy for twins.
Having twins is truly magical. And can feel like the curse of the werewolves! For me, I always say its heaven and hell. Its very, very hard work but there is no other feeling in the world that comes close to knowing you have made two, gorgeous bundles. That feeling never goes.
We have a regular thread over here beginning "D'y ever wonder....." it started a long, long time ago and some of us have twins around the same age. Nowadays, it has a bit of everything on it....some folks have new babies, some are pregnant, some have older twins. We have triplets, illness, worries and a giggle. Its a thread that goes up and down and, to the outsider, it can look like we all know each other and we're not talking twins. Rest assured, not many of us have met and the moment anybody wants to talk twins, we do!
Jump on, ask away and know that whatever is going on with you and twins, we will be there.
