Answer 1

I didn't have a mo-mo pregnancy, my twins were totally seperated. Having a mo-mo pregnancy or not, a twin pregnancy is ALWAYS a high risk pregnancy. You have more risk for twin-twin transfusion since your twins will be sharing a placenta. That's when one twin gets all the nutrients and the other twin doesn't and suffers for it. I had that as well, but my twins wer born at 30 weeks (10 weeks early), and even though she was born at a very-low birth-weight, now more than a year later she is extremely healthy.

I am a small person, twin pregnancy was extrememly hard on me. I don't want to tell you all my stories (unless you really want to hear then email me) because I don't want you to think that twin pregnancy has to be bad. It doesn't. Take extrememly good care of your wife, eat an excellent diet, eat LOTS AND LOTS! The recommendations for weight gain & twins is 1lb/week for the 1st 20 weeks, 1 1/2lb/week for the last 20 weeks. Keep your activity to a minimum - if she get's tired she must rest. I was put on bedrest, which is no fun but common for twins. Take a tour of your hospitals neo-natal intensive care unit - 90% of all twins end up there, most just to feed & grow. Get good pre-natal care, learn about all your options.

In labour your wife will immediately be given an epidural, drugs will only be put down if she asks for them. The reason is if they need to do an emergency c-section, then the line is there and it's quicker. You won't know for a long time, but if the first twin out (always the one on the left, they will call it twin a) is head down, doesn't matter what twin b is you can deliver vaginally. If twin a is feet down - automatic c-section. My twin a was head down, twin b was feet down - I delivered vaginally.

Have fun with your pregnancy - twins are soo much fun! If you want more info, feel free to email me!
