Our twins are due in November and would like my first big purchase to be a cot that slots alongside our bed. When searching for UK options the only offering is a product off Amazon with one star rating? Does anybody from the UK have any recommendations? Will we have to ship something from across...

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...

Bear with me here, I know the title sounds very “BLOG MOMMY😜🥰” but hear me out: I found a few things recently that have helped me save a shit ton of time, are fairly healthy AND help me stretch my WIC allotments. Not even ashamed on this sub to say we receive WIC—even though I am ashamed to...

My 10m identical boys are going as ducks lol

Do you sometimes want to just stop being a parent, a spouse and a project manager for everything in your life? I want to quit everything and go away forever sometimes, leaving everyone behind. I don’t know why I’m typing it here but maybe because no one IRL would accept or understand this...

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...

We had some family, friends, and friends of the family over for our twins baptism, they're 3.5 months. Afterwards one of my childhood friends wife struck up a conversation with me. Her: I noticed the babies heads are looking a little...flat Me: Oh yeah, they're going to be helmet kids, going...

I’m just looking to hear everyone’s stories— what you planned vs what happened & if there’s anything you’d change? I’m 35+1 & I keep going back and forth between vaginal and c section deliveries. These babies would be my first, initially i went in with the idea that i wanted to experience a...

I leased my dream car last year- a Kia Soul EV. I love it SO much but... I did not anticipate that I would soon be pregnant with twins. I am having a HECK of a time finding a double stroller that will fit (dimensions 38"W x 25"D x 29" H). Neither of the go-to double stroller frames (Joovy Roo...

Sick 2 year old + sick mama + 4 month old twins + an epileptic dog having active seizures = husband calling in sick tomorrow. This gets easier at some point... right ?! 😅

My twins started preK this year in the same class . I wasn’t given a choice or anything but admittedly I did want them together just because i figured it’d be easier for them to adjust first year together so I went with it. The teacher expressed early on she sees benefits in separating them...

Am I the only one that basically can’t find a use for these things anymore?? I see people say they used the table for 2 until their twins were 18m or so and I just can’t figure out HOW. My twins are 9m and we haven’t used these things since basically they were 6m and I’m ready to purge them...

Hi! I am currently 8w3d with identical twins! I had a missed miscarriage at 9weeks back in December so this is not my first pregnancy. I go for an ultrasound next week to (hopefully) find out if they're mono/di or mono/mono twins. Just looking for any and all advice! I'm a worrier naturally so...

Our b/g twins have just turned 4 months and we’re definitely seeing a change in their sleeping habits. We try to stick with at least a consistent bed time routine, but with daycare naps are basically whenever they go down. They get home from daycare at 5 and if they don’t go down pretty quickly...

FTM & 31 weeks: will be scheduling my c section today for 37 weeks. My obgyn unexpectedly retired (????) at the end of August and I met my new obgyn this morning. My new DR said that she’ll allow a vaginal birth if both babies are head down, otherwise it will have to be a c section. My old DR...

When did y’all have time to clean? I have 6 month old twins and they don’t let me do anything. The most I can do is make myself and my partner something to eat that’s quick, wash their bottles, and load the dishwasher. I don’t have time to vacuum, dust, or clean the bathrooms. How did y’all do...

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...

DiDi twins born 34 + 5 Twin A, boy, 5 lbs, 18 days in the NICU Twin B, girl, 5.9 lbs, 12 days in the NICU EDIT TO ADD 30 week Sono A- 3 lb 3 oz B- 3 lb 13 oz 34 week sono A- 4 lb 4 oz B- 5 lb 2 oz Birth A- 5 lb B- 5 lb 9 oz My twins due date was 1/16. On 12/9 we had a birthday...

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...
