Twins or Triplets or more!

Congrats on the arrival of your girls Manz! Hope you're all settling in at home now.

Congrats Mon! I found out at my 12 week scan too. I don't have any other kids but can't imagine you would need to change much right now. You will be entitled to 240 hours (I think that's the amount) of homehelp which you can use for a cleaner or nanny etc when the twins arrive. I know some people use student nanny's for this cos they are cheaper. I've also heard there is a decent amount of paperwork to get it sorted so might be worth getting that started with WINZ.

Hi. Just dripping my toes in here. I have 2 kids- aged nearly 6 and 3 and found out yesterday that I am pregnant with twins. This pregnancy was a complete surprise so still getting over the shock of twins (there is no history on either side of the family). At the this stage its very early days- only 5w 4ds- only reason I had an early scan was to get an ETD but thought she was joking when she found 2 sacs. They could see 2 sacs and an embryo and yolk sac within each one and I have to have a scan in 3 weeks to check all is OK. Would someone be able to tell me at what stage I should know if they share a placenta?

Thanks Danda. I think it all kind of hit me this morning and after doing the school run I couldn't stop crying.

Hi Everyone. Have just found out that I'm 8+3 with twins. Totally shell-shocked as I also have a 6 month old daughter.... Is there a Facebook multiples group by any chance?

I am having a big Facebook break so may check in here every now and then. My Identical twin boys Matteo and Elliot are 13 months. Congrats to all the newly pregnant twin Mums :)

Congrats on your latest addition Hibiscus! How are the behaviour probs going?

Congrats to those who have recently had twins, and who have found out they are pregnant with twins! How are you all going?

Our twin girls turned 1 a couple of months ago and I am loving this age. They are so much fun and learning so much every day. Not walking yet but not far away! We are having trouble with one getting a bit jealous of the other at the moment, every time I go to pick up Isabella Ruby will come racing over crying for me to pick her up and starts climbing all over me. Isabella has bad eczema so we have been spending a bit of time comforting her lately and constantly putting on creams etc. Trying to give Ruby her own special time too and pick her up first etc so she feels special. Also having a prob with fighting already!! They do the usual fighting over toys but Ruby is a real bully and is always hitting Isabella in the face with toys etc...Anybody else have this prob?

Hi, I have 5 kids already and am expecting identical twins, due 8th july. Exciting and scarey!

Congrats to your sister!

It is a fun ride having twins :)

Best thing you can do is be there for her...... let her moan and vent, make her cups of coffee/tea or Milo..whatever without asking and do those boring housework jobs for her when you visit (before and after the babies arrive!!!)I remember my MIL's frozen meals and my SIL arriving one day with lunch and a box of nappies when our boys were 4 weeks old! The rest is mostly a blur even though we had pretty easy babies!

Congrats Stephen!
You are a good husband,it's really important to get prepared for the new baby.
