    What is the dumbest thing you’ve heard?

    @schawinga When the nurse in the pediatricians office took down the names and age of the first set, made a comment about them being boy and girl twins and then asked if they were ID.

    Moms! How did you decide if you wanted a vaginal birth or a C-section?

    @komdiarect My hospital encourages vaginal if possible. When my water broke at 31 weeks, twin A was head down and B wasn’t quite in position yet. I delivered A no problem and then they had to go in and turn B. After giving him time to drop I also delivered him vaginally. There’s a 51 minute...

    Does anyone feel that twins is just a setup to fail?

    @balancedworld I thought like that at one point but now seeing how amazing my kids are, I did good. My twins are now 19 and almost 18, they are strong and independent, they are well adjusted despite my always thinking I screwed up somewhere along the way.

    37 weeks, twin girls, natural or section?

    @lisajcoleman1 For me and my 2 sets of twins, a c section wasn’t an option unless absolutely necessary. Both B babies had to be turned after A was delivered and then I just had to wait for contractions to do the rest. There’s a 51 minute difference with the first set and 38 minutes with the 2nd set

    Best things about minivans?

    @porcupine73 I was anti minivan forever. But when my last car ran out of room we found a really good deal on a Honda minivan. Pros: super comfortable for driving, power doors (I call them magic buttons), space for growing kids (bought it when they were 8 & 9 and now they’re 16 & 17 and there’s...

    Age gap between #2 and #3?

    @jojoz 18 months between 2 sets of twins. I liked it because I was still in the thick of things. I couldn’t imagine starting over after independence, potty training, etc…

    AITA for not wanting to go to restaurants with our 13 m.o. twins?

    @james02s40 First off, the more you push the food issue, the more he’ll push back. Stop focusing on the percentiles and just focus on whether or not the scale has gone up when he has his checkups. I have 1 twin from each twin set that didn’t even make it onto the growth charts until somewhere in...

    Older twin parents - sleeping?

    @moore2014 Forever ago I babysat kids that shared a room and it was pretty similar at bedtime. I decided that we all go in together, they get into bed, I said good night but then stayed in the room and read myself a book or magazine until they fell asleep. If anyone got up, without words I...

    Very very mild symptoms at 6+5 with di/di twins. Minimal nausea. Concerned

    @grace92 I had a singleton pregnancy that I lost at 3 months pregnant. I was all the time nauseous with that pregnancy. I then went on and had 2 sets of twins with no nausea

    Parenting hacks?

    @dp797 I do it for masks too. I have sting magnets that hold the bag to the machine, as soon as they get home from school, the mask goes in the bag

    Parenting hacks?

    @dp797 Mom to 2 sets of twins 18 months apart. Every other day each set of twins got a bath together. So first set Monday, 2nd set Tuesday.... I enjoyed bath time because it was the only time I actually got to sit and do nothing while they played in the water. As newborns they either got a quick...

    5 under 5?!?

    @daniel1986 I had 4 under 2, it’s doable if you have the patience

    Update: The message I sent my therapist. This was hard for me to do, but thank y'all for giving me the courage. ♥️

    @djseb Becoming a mom is what helped me learn how to advocate for myself and for my kids. Fed is best! I do hope this therapist listens to you and changes their attitude

    Just found out I’m having twins. I have a 1 and a 3 year old already and the panic is setting in

    @lalue I have twins and twins and they are 18 months apart, so I had 4 under 2. I was still in the baby stage when I had the 2nd set so it was easy to just keep the flow going. There were 2 things I did to make life easier for both me and the 1st set. I immediately set a newborn feeding schedule...
