Im not having twins, but obviously from my username i have had twins before
I only wanted Maccas and junk food in the boys pregnancy, and thats all I ate! I barely ate anything healthy and I still only gained 5kilos (after a week after birth) and the boys were 6lbs 1oz and 5lbs 8oz at 36.2 weeks gestation. So excellent sizes!!
I think keeping up your water is a big thing, I didnt and I got massive massive fluid retention. I could barely bend my legs by the end of it and at the end of pregnancy I had put on over 40 kilos, which all but 5kilos went within 7 days from birth.
Twins are just a miracle, a blessing to have, and I honestly didnt realise this until recently, when my boys have started hugging, sleeping together and just having a bond no other siblings or children could have together.
They are very hard in the first 6 months or so, but my advice is to be prepared. Always have bottles (if you b/f) and nappies and everything ready - before they want it. Having two babies screaming is so hard on you emotionally and having the bottles ready before they start getting super hungry is a way to combat that.
Any more questions about twins, or pregnancy with twins ill be more than happy to answer for you
