Morning of the Twin Boys' Birth

Hi my name is Beccy, I have twin boys (now aged 14 months). I had an EXCELLENT pregnancy. I had a very short time of morning sickness but found if I nibbled on nuts, sultanas etc. throughout the day it didn't bother me too much.

I didn't have ANY problems throughout the pregnancy and when it came time for their birth, I was induced at 37 weeks and the only reason I had to have a caesarean was because Cooper's (first born) placenta started to break away, otherwise it would have been all systems natural (with a little help from the epidural).

I enjoyed my pregnancy, especially watching all the hands and legs trying to poke through my stomach wall. It was funny feeling both boys with the hiccups at the same time.

To all the women out there stressing about having twins, RELAX. You will find that if you can go with the flow, let the professionals do the worrying (they are paid to know what they are doing), you will enjoy the whole wonderful experience a lot more.
