keep calm, Torres Twins Mom! I have no experience for you. Maybe you should ask a doctor for help. And also moms at parenting forum will help you. No worries.

All I have to say to you is, be very , very picky about where you have your babies cause if youre in the hospitals, they are pretty adament about making damn sure your little one with such a fragile immune system, gets it's first innoculation(vaccine) within the first 12 hours of life...wow...how barbaric, shooting a baby so small with a hepatitis shot! It starts to wreak havoc on its poor little body and the cycle of chronic lifetime disease (autism, diabetes, brain cancers, acid reflux with feeding tubes, glasses by age or 4, bloody noses everyday, sids, and all the aspergers syndrome damage begins. Dont' let that baby out of your sight and make sure you study this stuff so you know why you would rather not get any vaccines. Because, an unvaccinated child is a happy, healthy baby....providing you ate right when he was growing inside you. I had my baby at home. Cut the cord myself aand began nursing in five minutes. He never got vaccines, none of them, and never was in the doc's office, hardly ever got sick and holds world records in the Architectural arena and has children that are geniuses. My other child, who is Autistic, has big time social issues, a feeding tube for the rest of his life, wears a helmet to control swelling (encephalitis) of the brain and last but not least, asthma. Since my child was assaulted by the Pharmaceuticals, I was on a mission to figure out what was what. I started to study online and talk to others in sites like this one and cafemom and found very interesting and almost maddening information about our beloved pediatricians and the like...wow. I really trusted this pediatrician only to find out they are paid handsomely for each vaccinated child. He even admited that the vaccine administration is the bread and butter for pediatricians cause with out vaccines, there is hardly a sick kid. I could ve killed myself after in became "in the know" and could've prevented all my child misery. I was just trying to "Protect" my child and thats what i get. Ladies, doctors do not know everything and the stuff they do know they keep from you....it's all about money...cuz then when your baby gets sick, when he was born healthy, you go thru all kinds of testing with the doctor to find out whaats wrong with your baby when he knows damn well and isn't gonna admit it to you.,,,,www.nvic.com, www.drcarly.com, www.vaers.com, www.zeitgeistmovie.com
DONT SHOOT YOUR BABIES WITH POISON, DARNIT, GET REAL INTERESTED, YOU'LL FIND OUT JUST LIKE I DID...GO SEEK THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR BABIES SHOTS. PROTECT, DON'T INJECT\

Congrats to you! I'm a mom of twins also- it's awesome! As far as your post about "showing already", my best advice is to only buy maternity clothes that are specifically made for moms of twins. Otherwise you'll spend a fortune on regular maternity clothes, and outgrow them by 6 months. There are several brands out there, and most are fairly reasonably priced. I bought mine from For Multiples maternity, but I know there are others as well. Good luck to you!

Congratulations and welcome to wonderful world of multiples! Here's a wonderful twin baby registry check list (http://www.stuff4multiples.com/The-Ultimate-Twin-Baby-Registry-List_b_26.html). Might help to know that you do not need 2 of everything. I learned the hard way! Also, make sure you stay hydrated and follow the signs of your body. If you need rest- take it!

Hi im a mom of 8 month old twins! Boy and girl! A lot of people say its horrible and you'll be on bed rest. But as for me it wasnt all that bad! I had the same morning sickness as my 1st pregnancy but i had a lot more energy the last trimester. I was walking a lot the last couple of weeks and i gave birth at 38 weeks! My son was 7.02 and my daughter was 5.13 lbs. You should talk to your doc about taking extra iron and calcium pills cause your twins will suck everything out of you! Also make sure you have a dentist appt. Get all the rest you can before they come cause once they are here sleep will be very hard! As for me i was lucky that my twins started sleeping for about 7 hours at 4 months! But all babies are different. Yours might be earlier or later!
