@nathann Oh, this things don’t bother me. I didn’t know a thing, or really care to know a thing, about twins until I was told I was pregnant with my own set. So, I can’t really fault others for asking “dumb” questions about them. And sure - asking if they are identical when you have one of...

@twinmum Nope.

@yogaflame I think it’s very different experience than twins and how difficult it is going to be highly dependent on the kids individual temperaments…but honestly I do think having a newborn and a young toddler sounds extremely difficult and I’m happy mine are the same age. At least they are at...

@chryslee09 Yeah, I think some of this is going on. With twins, a lot of parenting choices are closed off to us, so you don’t agonize about what you should be doing but aren’t. We get a lot of external validation from doctors, lactation consultants, strangers that we are doing amazing, and...

@ktb We used it nearly through the first year. It was nice to be able to still strap them in for bottles (note - once they get too big and mobile to sit on top you have them sit through it, so they are sitting underneath it and have the pillow strapped around them).

@rrruff Honestly I don’t know if it was hard or not. You just have to get it done because what’s the alternative? You just have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Wallowing in how hard it is helps you not at all. Certainly, stressing about how hard it will be ahead of time...

@shaz7 Oh there will never be an easier time to move them one at a time as there is now. But them some where safe, go get the other baby, easy peasy.

@james02s40 Um, does it sound like crazy-town to take 13 month old twins to a resturant? Yes. I'm not taking my nine month olds because that sounds like a lot of work, I assume I'll feel it similarily five months from now. But once you got there, yeah, you're kind of TA for making your wife...

@david282 I have noticed myself, not favoring necessarily one twin over the other, but feeling a different sort of connection. But, it’s changed over time. I think it has to do with who is needing me the most. I feel drawn towards the one that is being more independent. At first, twin a was a...

@wandererofthewastes I do kind of think he's an AH for making his wife get up when she's only halfway through her dinner. Like, I get anxiety makes us act unreasonably and we can't always control our reactions, but...I say this as someone that greatly benefited from therapy and meds, you've got...

@chuckm I don’t have experience with IVF, my twins were spontaneous. That said, if I were to try to imagine myself in your shoes I would want to do whatever my doctor recommends as my best shot to have a viable and healthy pregnancy. If that’s transferring two, that’s what I’d go for. But if...

@cinder7 I mean, I wouldn’t fight her too hard or reason with her unless or until the doctor says it’s time to go and non-negotiable and she’s dragging her heels. Yeah, lots of twins come early (and as a consequence are small), but neither you nor your wife know how it will go for her. Maybe...

@tmp These rates would still be a steal in my area…but I would be peeved if I’d only be at a daycare a week and they wanted to raise my rates this much right away.

@brandi3167 I am by no means an expert but to my understanding vanishing twins are very common even in identical twins (maybe even more common in identicals) - and many women that have that happen go on to have a healthy normal pregnancy. So while I don’t know why, it would seem that vanishing...

@brandi3167 If they are identical - they will have the same dna. So…if twin b has a chromosomal abnormality, unfortunately so too would twin a.

@brandi3167 So I have didi twins (aka they had their own placentas and sacs and were totally seperate), but to my understanding with improved imaging technology we are learning that vanishing twins are much more common than we thought; many women had it happen and never even knew. I think...

@ananymous So, I read a lot of different things when my babies were little to get ideas (I liked precious little sleep), but here’s the thing, babies are people, and people are different, and what works for one person may not work for others. Humans of all ages aren’t machines that come with...
