Congratulations, twins are awesome! Mine are now 19 months old, and whilst I did have a routine with them it was kind of dictated by them and I just followed mainly, so got lucky in that regard becuase they were very much in synch with each other.
My twin pregnancy was classed as high risk due to them being ivf twins, but in reality it wasn’t so bad. I was full term size by 28-30 weeks, it was bloody uncomfortable but my dd was parked up in my ribs from 20 weeks. I got pe and delivered them by surprise elcs at 36+5 and they weighed 6lbs 6 and 7lbs 3. No scbu time needed, out after 2 days.
Admittedly I don’t have any other children, but some positives to having twins off the top of my head are a ready made playmate the same age, watching them seek the other one out and the bond they have is incredible, newborn twins are nowhere near as bad as everyone told me during pregnancy (they made out I was going to DIE due to sleep depravation!), double cuddles, a weird almost instant bond with any other twin parent I’ve met, a ready made excuse for anything I forget or don’t want to do, and whilst they bring a hell of a lot of work and chaos to my life, it’s happy chaos and full of fun and laughter.
My life is a constant risk assessment for which tearaway fearless toddler is going to get hurt first, the laundry is vaguely under control, my standards have slipped dramatically and my bank balance is constantly under siege, but I’d love to have more kids so it can’t be all that bad. Someone once posted on mn with a quote of ‘all fed, nobody dead’ which amused me greatly and has become a motto for me in my head on the bad days when bedtime just can’t come quick enough!
Good luck!
