COngratulations!!!

I can well remember the shock of finding out that there are two! I didn't sleep for a week after we found out at our 8 week dating scan.

The pregnancy is definitely much more demanding than a singletone pregnancy and chasing after a toddler whilst carrying twins is a challenge... don't worry though - you'll manage better than you expect to. Most twin mums I speak to seem to agree that it isn't as chaotic as they expected it to be. It's lots of fun and seeing the two cheeky grins is so special!

I have a few books I have read - 'Mothering Multiples' is a great breastfeeding one if you plan to breastfeed your two. and 'Twins' by Katrina Bowman and Louise Ryan is OK for pregnancy in terms of preparing you for what to expect. And 'Double Trouble' is a UK book which is fabulous for pepping you up for a natural labour and delivery if that's what you want. By the way, if you are planning a natural delivery, I recommend you hire yourself a private midwife. Both the public system and private OBs will try to railroad you into a highly medicated delivery.

If you can, join the AMBA forum - lots of twin mums there will eagerly share advice and help you out with questions.

Anyway, happy baking and congratulations again! You'll be amazed at the proportions your body can stretch to over the coming months!
