Twins Pregnancy

Twins PregnancyExpecting a baby can be an exciting, challenging and awe-inspiring time. But what if you discover that there is not just one life growing inside you but two? While in many ways a twin’s pregnancy will be similar to a singleton one, there are symptoms, considerations and complications which are unique to, or more common in, a twin’s pregnancy.

The discovery that you are expecting twins may be sheer joy and excitement or disbelief and uncertainty. It may be a chance for an ‘instant family’, or it may mean the birth of two babies when finances and living arrangements will only comfortably accommodate one. Either way, questions you never thought you needed answers now present themselves.

  • How will my body accommodate two babies?
  • Will common pregnancy symptoms, like nausea and tiredness, be worse with twins?
  • How will my two babies grow and change inside me throughout the pregnancy?
  • Can I still have a natural birth, or will I need a caesarean?
  • How will I cope with two newborn babies?
  • What products could help me with pregnancy and caring for my twins?
  • What if there are more than two babies?

These are just a few questions about your twins’ pregnancy to which you may want answers. We’ve answered these and many more.
