Whether you are a first time parent or not, raising twins has a unique set of challenges and rewards. I have two sets of twins that were born 35 months apart, 1 boy and 3 girls. I was on bed rest for 8 months combined between the two pregnancies and they were born at 34 and 32 weeks, respectively. All 4 were born with no complications but had to be in the hospital 2 to 4 weeks for help with feeding. I do not have any singleton children. I do not consider myself an expert in any way and I certainly make many mistakes on a moment-to-moment basis, but this “twinning” section is meant to suggest ideas and links for you to navigate the world of multiples.
Good luck to you!
