You will come to terms with it in time, just keep reminding yourself that you are blessed, many couples don't even have one baby to love.

That's awesome. Get it all done at once. If you work than I would save all the money you can now. You will need it once they come. It will be overwhelming once they are born. One is hard I couldn't imagine two. God gave you twins for a reason. Again its so nice to have two the same age get it done at once and they will grow up together and be close. Think in the long run it will be easy because they will have each other to play with. Again, congrats and good luck, you will be a great mom I'm sure you can handle it.

Hello,
Well congratulations!
I am a Mommy of Frat Twin Girls. When I was pregnant, I drank 32-64 oz of water everyday to hydrate my twins and myself. If you do this, along with eating plenty of fruits and veggies you will be fine. Just take it easy. I was considered a High Risk pregnancy and was asked to just be "Lazy". Also, my OB suggested I not take Lamaze classes. She did not want me on the floor with our twins.
Talk you your twins, sing to them, read to them, laugh and dance with them.
I prayed for twins since I was a little girl. The Lord answered my prayers. I love my twins. They are so precious. They were born at 32 weeks. Baby A had no room to grow anymore. Baby B was crowding Baby A out. I could not eat, sleep or breathe towards the end of my 6-7th month.
I took my prenatal vitamins in the evening to reduce my nausea.
Just praise God for your sweet little babies. They will be a lot of work in the first 6 months. But, you are totally blessed.
Hope this helps you................... : - O

Girl, I know all too well that shock. I have 16 month old identical twin boys...after having 3 singles. Anyway, it will sink in soon. Trust me. Just take it easy and treat yourself doubley well through the pregnancy. Extra rest...and start shopping EARLY. You will most likely be on bed rest towards the end, and if you aren't you will join a rare crowd. Not trying to scare you, just letting you know something I didn't know at the time.
Also a great book to get is: When you are expecting twins, triplets, or quads. By Dr. Barbara Luke and Tamara Eberlein.
Great advice in there.

Wow!! I was always scared that would happen to me. lol. Twins run in my family. I know alot of people with twins and they tell me that its not any harder than having one. Only at the beginning when they both need fed, you might need some help. But other than that, you should have double the fun!! Congratulations!!!!!!! You can look at it this way, 2 babies are better than 6. lol Good Luck and try to relax.

Well do you know the sex of each? Just imagine you get a boy and a girl. How cute would that be? You can buy them the same outfits but one in blue and one in pink. That would be so adorable. Plus you'll get two at one time instead of having to go into labor and deliver two seperate time.

Congratulations! You should be thrilled! I'm sure it would seem overwhelming, but you'll be fine. If you want to calm down, start looking for baby names or eat some ice cream (that always helps me). Any way good luck!

Drink a nice warm cup of coaco. That always calms a person down
