experience/advice to give

EDIT/UPDATE: thanks all for the responses. We unfortunately both twins stopped growing around 8w. (Cross posting) We learned this week we have two gestational sacs after a long road of TTC. We’re thrilled and really hope both stick but the doctor seems concerned since the larger sac is likely...

I’m expecting b/g twins in the next month or two, and it’s crunch time for buying all the twin gear. I’m torn on if I really need to have a bassinet or even a double bassinet for my stroller. They will arrive in the heat of the summer in the southeast US, so we will need to be limiting outside...

My 3 week b/g twins are a lot easier than I was expecting based on all the stories here and elsewhere. Granted this is 3 and 4 for me and our next oldest is 4. BUT it’s not too bad. Gotta cut post short bc one is crying but I swear…it’s doable with a system and a routine. Also, real quick...

I have identical twin girls, born 7 weeks prematurely, now 21 months actual age. I love them dearly, etc. but I find myself legitimately angry and resentful at just the fact of having twins. No matter how hard we work at parenting, you’re just consistently set up to fail. You can’t manufacture...

My b/g twins arrived a week ago at 38 weeks and I thought I’d share the items we’ve ended up using the most in our first week as parents: Twin Z pillow (this is literally our #1 favorite thing right now. If I could only have one thing it would be this) lots and lots of Dr. brown’s bottles (they...

Hi all, FTM of 7-wo b/g twins currently on survival mode! Since the beginning of my pregnancy I’ve seen many posts here recommending to keep the babies on the same schedule (feedings, naps etc). So far we haven’t managed to pull that off due to the simple fact that we can’t figure out how to...

2 different situations. Setting: Home Depot Elderly gentleman: “which one is older?” Me: “she is by 5 minutes” Elderly gentleman: “you can tell, she’s bigger” Yes, those 5 minutes 🤦🏼‍♂️ Setting: Daughter’s neurology office Neurologist: “you’re a twin? Which one of you is the prettier one?”...

Hello, just wanted to share this for other parents who are/will be in the same situation. Just to be clear, although it is very rare (0.05% chance), it is possible for Di/Di twins to get TTTS, as the placentas that are in close proximity may fuse together, leading to TTTS in some cases. You...

As the title says we’ve just discovered that we’re having twins, I was using contraception so this is a complete surprise. Mostly I’m panicking that I will have 4 under 4! Who else has had twins bump up their family numbers unexpectedly, how did you adjust? How did the older ones adjust? I’ve...
