My twin pregnancy story

(Texas)

I had a great twin pregnancy a natural birth and the babies came home right away. I was very scared that I could not do this being that I never really liked children. I'm only 21 but It's been a really rewarding experience even though daddy really doesn't help me much. What truly helped me is keeping a schedule and swaddling them they sleep through the night sometimes till 10 in the morning! I put them in bed awake and have stopped using pacifiers I believe with twins the ability to self soothe is really important. As for my body I gained 80 pounds my stomach probably will never look the same but it could have been a lot worse. Just take it day by day you can do this and don't be afraid to take some me time when your happy your babies sense it.
