u mean u just had twins? well if so, that will take a lot of work. just try not to get too impatient, we know its hard! be diligent and dont be afraid to ask for help! from a mom, friend or nanny. and when they r old enough find a good babysitter so u can get out of the house and not go CRAZY

yes twins are a blessing but hard work
i am 26 last year i found out i was having twins i cried i had two girls aged 5 and 18 months i didn't know what i was going to do but there is help out there
i was working as well i found out once i had my twins my tax credit when up so i was able to claim a sure start grant which was 500 pounds for each baby
so that will help and if u are in the hsa hospital plan u can claim double as well i hope this helps
she will need her family help just too give her i break every now and again

I know what u r thinking I have twins would love another baby, but quite honestly dread the thought of going through everything again with more twins! But put in the situation I would love them just as much and make do, tming for babies is never right, but you have to do what is right for you. Twins are hard work, whomever says different has never had them, but they are a blessing and life is too fragile and each one a miracle.
She has never needed you as much as she will after they are born, and there is a lot of help out there, e.g the surestart charity.

I have a set of twins. Thankfully they are 16 now! My experience was that the first few weeks, I had a ton of people around to help because of the new babies. After the new-ness wore off, there was no one around to help me. I suggest that she find someone to come in every couple of days or so to give her a break. She will need the support for the first year. Be thankful also that you know what kids are all about. We had a single birth first then our twins. I thank God for that because if I would have had the twins first, I would not have known what to do and I would have scared to death!

My mother had twins, well you have to know the genders first, then you buy dubble of everything, when they come you have to dress them up in the same outfits (if they are identical) when they reach school age, make sure they will be in the same class in each grade, it helps them out soo much.
Good luck
ps. You also need good friends because having twins can be the best and the worst thing at the sime time. You might also want to be up to date on the pregnancy because twins often come out as premes (like my sisters)
God Bless

It will be very hard work as any new born baby is, financially she maybe able to get some help there is a maternity grant that she can apply for ... and yes you do get double for having twins!! As for life after with 2 little ones... well, you don't have to make it that expensive do you?? Clothes in the supermarkets are so cheap now it's almost impossible not to have well dressed kids nowadays!! As long as you have a double pushchair and an extra cot when they get a bit bigger you don't need much extra kit....

I think she has age on her side. I think she will cope just fine if the willing is there, although she will find it hard obviously. The kids will not stay babes forever and things will get easier and in years to come she will look back and think 'how the fuk did i manage to get through that' but she will and then her babies will fulfil her no end.......one word of advice tho make sure she goes onto reliable contraception when she has her twins!!!!!

OK, do you think the you could be more vague?Did you just have twins or do you want to date twins or do you want to know how to dress twins? And so on. Well you asked for it! I always thought that if I ever had twins I would never dress them exactly the same way. Now do you want to try it again and formulate another question?

I have twins and they are the best. Tell her to just hang in there and life will get easier after they start to walk. They are a blessing and she should be HAPPY about it.

I would love to have twins. It will be a little extra work but you get two kids for one labor. that's a deal!! also, they will always have someone their age to play with. my friend has twins and they couldn't imagine life without them both together. double congrats and good luck!
