Question

what should i do

Answer 1

Pray first, and last. But dont be scared, you can never be ready for children, whether single or doubles. They are all different, but they all need love to survive. It may not be easy but dont ever stop trying. I have twin boys, and they are now 8yrs. It has always been challenging, but they have grown, and I have grown, nd I have never stop praying for GODs help and cover.! You will be alright.

Answer 2

Congrats!! My twins are 8 weeks old right now. Here are just two good tips:
1. Get the book:
When You're Expecting Twins, Triplets, or Quads, Revised Edition: Proven Guidelines for a Healthy Multiple Pregnancy by Barbara Luke and Tamara Eberlein
This was my second Pregnancy Bible (my first was the actual BIBLE), and it shows proven guidelines to help you have full-term healthy twins, don't foget to put on 28 lbs. by 28 weeks, this is crucial!!!!!!
2. Babies R Us and Toys R Us offer discounts when buying furniture for multiples.

Best wishes to you! And as a previous poster said: PRAY. God will guide you. He has a plans for these two little ones inside of you.

Answer 3

Honey,
You will be fine I had Twins 20 Yrs ago. You need to eat right and before and after you have them. I had a friend of the family tell me to enjoy them because they grow up to fast. Being young I was trying to do everything right and didn't enjoy them as much as I should have so enjoy the little things. Because now the boys look back and remember the good times. You just have to do everything twice. It's not that bad I promise.

Answer 4

Well you should smile and start preparing. Besides the need for two of everything, try to make sure all is in order before their arrival. Try to arrange for help from anyone who offers it so you can get some rest. My friend just had twins and she is loving it-she is just a bit more tired than the rest of us single mommies. Good luck!

Answer 5

What do you mean what should you do? Have the twins! Buy double of everything! Buy diapers, wipes , formula, and other stuff in bulk at Costco or Sams Club! Ask your friends and family for help!

Answer 6

This question is one you should be asking your doctor.

In the meantime, eat well, rest well, try not to lift heavy objects.
There is a greater risk of premature delivery, so once you progress in the pregnancy, be sure to be on the alert for signs of early labor. Rush to the hospital if you feel any contractions.

Answer 7

Me too! After already having 5 children, it came as a major shock. And along came a lot of questions - how can I? What should I? How did this happen??

I called my best friend. Cryed, screamed, you name it. In shock. She said, well, God only gives you what you can handle. And then it hit me - I'm doubly blessed. I also wondered - well, maybe God had me confused with someone else. But then, I realized that God has more faith in me, than I do in myself.

So I got educated. Bought a lot of books about twin pregnancies. The best one, the one that I go back to week after week - is called "Twins! Pregnancy through the 1st year of life" - I bought it on ebay for $5 - it goes retail for about $25 or so. Then, I searched some websites on twins. http://www.multiples.about.com - this is a great website. I pair this with http://www.i-am-pregnant.com (not a lot for twins, just on baby's prenatal growth info) - two great websites for pregnancy.

Then, I got rid of all my stuff for one baby - and used the money that I made from the sales, and rebought everything for twins. I enlisted help. Having a C-section is probable this time - my best friend will be taking off a week from work to come and help me with the kids while I heal. Family's pitched in, as bedrest in the past few months of pregnancy is a usual thing.

Twins come early. Sometimes as early as 28 weeks. Sometimes as late as 36 weeks. But rarely do they go to 40 weeks. As I've had 8-10 lb children before, my body will "think" that I'm 40 weeks,when really I'll have two 4-5 lb babies in there. I bought lots of "preemie" clothes on ebay. I looked for stuff that's between 4-7 lbs. I bought two carseats, and one of those duo bassinets (now only found at target.com in my area). Decided that some things are more important to have later on - like 2 high chairs. Just getting the basics for now. I stocked up on newborn diapers - so I don't have to run out shopping when I'm healing.

I also educated myself on Vanishing Twin syndrome. Not that I'm trying to add blackness to your world - but this can happen. I read up alot on this, trying to cope with the fact of losing one - when we thought that I did. (Although I didn't.) If twins make it past the 12th week of pregnancy, there is less than 5% chance of losing one. But, there's always a higher risk with two so get yourself educated on everything!!

With twins, there are extra woes of pregnancy. You're going to get big - really fast & sooner than you think. I've gone from a size xs in maternity to a large, and I'm only 24 weeks along. And as I've only gained 6 pounds, it's all baby weight. Also, drink PLENTY of water. Constipation is horrible when you're pregnant - and if you don't drink enough water, you're sure to get this! Morning sickness is also inevitable - not many women are pregnant with multiples without it. If you can't handle the nausea, ask for a prescription. Don't be a hero! Don't overdo it. Rest often. Be prepared for an earlier bed rest, and a handful of joys sooner than you think!!

Answer 8

lucky you!!!!! I wanted twins!!!
what should you do??????
start sleeping now......once they´re born you will never sleep again!!!!!!
Also, it might be a good iead to get help, start looking for a nanny and a cleaning lady, also a live in chef would help.......
your husband can start looking for whatever to entertain himself with......he won´t be seeing much of you once the´re born........
and then......you´ll have double love from those babies who will change your life forever!!!!!! So enjoy your double blessing

Answer 9

You should teach at least one of your kids to spell better than you. Personally, I'm a big fan of capitalizing letters that need to be capitalized, but maybe that's just me.

Answer 10

you should have twins. sleep a lot now because you won't in a few months.
