Hi All,

I have searched, but no thread about twins.

Anyone here has twins before? Pro & cons? My friend will have a pair of twins... and it seemed the expenses will double, but since 2 babies will be born at 1 time, it sort of like save the pain of another pregnancy?

Anything to share? smile.gif

Not having twins myself but from what i have heard:

Cons:
Much bigger/heavier tummy during pregnancy means you have to be much more careful what you do/get more tired/more painful muscles/
More complicated and longer delivery
Almost double expenses
Double the work (especially as if one wakes up and cries the other probably will as well)

Pros:
They will usually have a very strong bond and keep each other company.
If you take the costs for 2 separate babies, you end up paying less if they both come at the same time.
Don't have to go through pregnancy/delivery twice (if you wanted 2 kids).
At my monthly checkup today we met a couple in the waiting room who had just had twins (they were visiting the pediatrician next door). They said it was a lot of work and often they found they didn't have enough hands for everything. Each twin had to take turns for everything like changing and breast feeding that made life a little difficult.
However they were also really happy that they had 2 beautiful babies (one boy and one girl) and got it out of the way all in one go wink.gif.

I would say (from what i have seen/been told) twins is kind of the same as 1 baby (a lot of work, effort and stress... and for some reason totally worth it), but more... of everything biggrin.gif.

how come cheaper geh? hmm.gif

I was thinking like this:

If 1 baby born first, then the next in maybe 1-2yrs apart, at least got hand-me-down (used stuffs from 1st baby) to give to the 2nd baby... So can save a bit.... books, clothes, baby stuffs etc.

But if 2 come together, everything is doubled... hmm.gif

But of coz pregnancy & delivery is once only ...

Anyway, yes gift from God... smile.gif

TQ

Y give up? What pregnancy supplement?

If u can have a baby previously, should not be a problem for next pregnancy.

If u want to do IVF or ICSI, there are still hope.

Dun give up smile.gif

i think u're mostly stressed out about it then it's not going to be easier to conceive like this. i believe if body is too stressed, it would affect ur reproduction also.
