Raising twins is a wonderful experience. At times it can also be very stressful and overwhelming. Being prepared for the joys and challenges ahead can help make things easier from the beginning.
Having twins means double the work. You will have double the feedings and diapers. You will need double the clothes and furniture. There will be double the mess and stress. But the best part is you will also get double the hugs and kisses, double the joy, and most importantly double the love. This makes it all worthwhile.
Taking care of yourself is extra important when you are pregnant with twins. You will need to take a prenatal vitamin each day and you may also need an iron supplement. Be prepared to have more frequent checkups during your pregnancy. As your pregnancy progresses, you may need to limit some activities like work and exercise.
