Julesy,congratulations from a twin mummy.

Twins also run in our family and we found out at our 8 week scan we were having twins.
Being our first pregnancy we were ecstatic and excited that we were chosen to be parents of multiples.
People often ask how I cope and I reply that I don't know any different so to me this was normal.I take my hat off to any mum who has children and then have twins.That would be super-dooper hard work.

Join your local multiple birth association.I was reluctant to at first but when the girls were about 12 weeks old I did.Only another mum of twins understands what you are dealing with.They have playgroup,info nights,newsletters,lots of info that will help you.

I love when I go to the local shopping centre and you see other parents of multiples.We give each other a look and smile,"aaahhh I know what you are going through."

We bought 2 of most things when I was about 20 weeks pregnant and we had found out we were having fraternal girls.It can be a bit costly but now feel that I am set up if we are blessed with twins again next pregnancy.

Good luck Julesy with the rest of your pregnancy and feel free to ask questions anytime.There a few twin mummies on here that enjoy sharing their tips and stories.
