Advantages: 2 tiny babies to love, hug and kiss

Disadvantages: double the sleepless nights lol but the good points really outweigh these

Well i have to first of all say twins are amazing and such a blessing for any mum and dad! I found out i was carrying twins at my 12 week scan, i had been told by quite a few people that i was having twins but never quite believed them, i guess its on of the things that will never happen to you. I had quite a rounded bump from been only 6 weeks to the point where people could actually tell i was pregnant so there was no hiding it lol. I also had extrmely bad nausea from 6-12 weeks i was noly ever sick twice but the feeling of been sick lasted from the minute i woke until i went to bed. As soon as i hit 12 weeks it stopped and i felt fantastic. I first felt them move at around 12-13 weeks which was ana aqmazing feeling. I had scans very frequently usually its 4 weeks for non identical twins and fortnightly for identical twins as theres more risk. My girls were identical so i had them every 2 weeks which was great to have the chance to see them and make sure they were doing well. We got 5 scan photos every time we went which was also fab and weve made a scrapbook from them. My urine and blood pressure was tested at every appointment and it really puts your mind at ease that your in the best care. I never had any major problems through my pregnancy, i hada lot of discomfort from around 20 weeks onwards until i had them, i used to get really bad back ache or cramp and i used to also get very breathless when doing anything. I also have to say i was extrmely tired, so if you are carrying twins dont fight it sleep whenever you feel you need to. My appetite also increased hugely, i could eat a full meal and still feel hungry. I never put much wiehgt on infact 2 stone through the whole of my pregnancy but i never had to buy maternity clothes i just had this huge bump up front infact big enough to sit my plate comfortably, you couldnte even tell from behind i was pregnant. My experience was fantastic but im sure theres experiences from both scales. Im really hoping for twin boys next time so fingers crossed and good luck to all those expecting them!

Summary: Twins are great and such a blessing for any parents!
