I just wanted to hear from anyone with similar experiences, any words of wisdom for breast feeding, any tips for natural birth - any advice at all really as its all so new....and to be honest still feeling all surreal that soon there'll be not one but two new additions to our family!  |

I didn't have any early contractions thankfully. I was induced at 36+ 3 and had them vaginally. I have to say giving birth to the twins was actually easier than my eldest! With breastfeeding I'd advice you to invest in a twin breastfeeding pillow such as the ez2 nurse. I found it a god-send. I'm not going to lie, breastfeeding was hard work the first few weeks but if you persevere it does get easier. I BF them for 11 months so it couldn't be that bad  . This forum is great and the twin mummies here are a great support soif u have any questions fire away, I'm sure you'll get plenty of answers. Good luck with the last few weeks of your pregnancy. |
