Wow I bet that was a shock. Congratulations on your pregnancy. I have 6 month old twins, but they are my first so I don't have any expierence in having other children as well. It is such a joy being a Mum of twins. Sure it has its moments that are a challenge, but it is such a fantastic feeling when you get to expierence all of the 'firsts' two times!!!
When we were doing our multiple birth workshop class before the twins arrived we were told about how some nanny agencies need placement for their student nannies. I think they normally do this when you have a few kids. (My sister is a nanny and did placement with a family with twins +1) Basically these nannies need to be out getting expierence with familes, it doesn't cost you anything because you are halping them also and you get some extra help. Perhaps look into that. Even if it was one day a week for a little while.
hi hun,
congrats on the pregnancy...my sister had my nephew and was pregnant a month later with my neice, not twins but close in age. how old are you...if you dont mind my asking? my sister was 20 when she got pregnant and had my nephew and 21 when she had my neice, and iv got to admit my neice and nephew are amazing with each other...close and caring..so close in age can be good.
love rach xxxx

I would suggest you contact your local Multiple birth group and get in touch with other mums who are in a similar situation to you. AMBA have a website that has a club finder, so worth giving that a look at and see who your contact is!
MY MBA were my saviour! Kept me sane for sure.
I have heard of quite a few girls falling pg with twins just after having a singlton. One of my friends twins were 11 months old when her singleton was born. Another member i know from another club managed to have 2 sets of twins born in the same year!!! 11 months between each set- now that would be hard!!!!
Twins only come to special people- enjoy the rollercoaster ride- hang on tight and take all the help you can!!!
Angiel- Hello there. Congrats on the pregnancy. I know what a shock it is finding out ur having twins. I found out at 8 weeks. My twinnies are now 4, turning 5 in June, and I am pregnant with a singleton due 8 days before the boys birthday. Although mine arent as close in age, I can understand how ur feeling. Twins are easy as when they are babies. I did it with no help.
Congrates on finding out your having twins, you are very lucky and blessed to beable to experience the twin experience.
I have 3 under 3 at home and It gets really hectic, Guess what the 3 year old is more work and much harder than the twins. You will be fine, It;s amazing what us women can do when you have twins.
