Twin Pregnancy Help

[celtic13]

Has anyone been pregnant with twins and have some real advice?

I don't know what to expect.

I'd like to know the little things that NO ONE thinks of telling you, but you find out on your own type of things.

I'd also like to get a maternity belt, but don't know what one to choose.

I've been pregnant with twins. Off the top of my head, here are a few things I can think of:

*FInd a book about being pregnant with multiples, it will give you lots of good advice that you won't get in books for singles.

*Expect to get gigantic compared to "normal" pregnancies. By the time I had my twins, I had gone from a size 4 (pre-preg) to an XL maternity clothes and they were getting small on me when I delivered at 36 weeks

*you are way more likely to have complications, like preterm labor or end up on bed rest, so be prepared if that happens by putting aside some money (for time off work, ordering food when you can't waddle around and cook, stuff to entertain you if you can't get out of bed) And if u don't end up being on bedrest, you can use the extra money on the rediculous amount of diapers and wipes you will go through every day with 2 newborns. (LOL)

good luck! I hope at least something i said helped.
