Re: Need advice from those who have had/are having multiples :)

I have 10-month old twins and a soon-to-be 3 year old - all boys. I was on bed rest for two weeks at the beginning of my twin pregnancy, and then the last 7 weeks. I delivered at 36 weeks - they were 6 lbs, 12 oz, and 7 lbs, 15 oz!!!

The first month of twins will kick your butts. You WILL survive. Make sure you have plenty of help. Don't turn down any help - or meals!

As others have said, you don't need two of everything. But a double stroller is ESSENTIAL... I also recommend the Skip Hop Double Duo Diaper Bag... freakishly expensive, but SO worth it... it even clips onto a stroller.

Watch all the boards for diaper deals... I love Baby Cheapskate for finding the best deals.

Check to see if you qualify for WIC. It was a lifesaver for us when I couldn't breastfeed because we were able to get free formula!

Sign up for all the parents of multiples programs out there. Here's a list of some of the things I got that I posted on my blog. I forgot to request stuff from Luvs until a few weeks ago... and that was great - super awesome coupons ($2 off, and $5 off), and a coupon for a free pack of Pampers!

Consider being a stay-at-home mom. When you figure out day care costs along with the price of gas, it was more economical for me to stay home.

Best wishes on a healthy pregnancy. Twins are a lot of work, but so much fun... there's nothing like having two babies smile and laugh at you!

Don't have twins, but I know in looking for free items for my 2 children, I saw tons of websites that give free items to parents of multiples. I will see if I can find some and I will let you know.

Update...(some might be on one or all lists.)

here is one site list of phone numbers to call...
Volition

Here is one with addresses and it tells what they gave away
PreemieTwins

Babiesonline.com

This one is old...but most have phone numbers to call and see if they still have them available..
Link

This last one is a PDF...

Hope this helps...and people actually get freebies! Congrats to all that have/are expecting twins! All babies are blessings, you have just been given 2 times the blessing! I want twins next time soooo...God bless!

Default Ultrasound results are in!

Well.. the first tech was wrong. I found out friday i'm pregnant with identical twin girls (mono/di twins) Everything is looking great and babies and doing very well. They will be watching their growth closely so I will be having ultrasounds every so often. What a surprise that all was.. I never imagined they'd be identical!

Congratulations x 2 !!!

I don't have twins, but my mom did. They were boy/girl, and are almost 28 now! Here is the funny part-

Back in 1980, the DR's really didn't do ultrasounds. My mom gained about 50 lbs, but just chalked it up to eating, lol. When she went into labor 3 weeks early, the DR kept telling her there was something wrong with the baby and had to do an emergency c-section. Again, medicine in 1980 wasn't what it is today, so they actually put her completely under to do it. When she woke up, she asked what was wrong with the baby, and Dr replied "Nothing at all, except they are both a little small" SURPRISE
