Preparing for Twin Pregnancy

When I got my first pregnancy, I used to imagine how exciting if I could be expecting twin babies. The funny thing was my imagination, I've prepared the names for the twin girls; Violet and Violin. I was sure that I could likely conceive twins because the genes of my parents’ family is very strong. I have a lot of twin cousins and nephews. My husband was really excited as well.

I was really thankful for my pregnancy. I didn't take any Ultrasound Sonography Test (USG) during the pregnancy. Thanks God, I didn't have any complaints at all. We actually didn't think too much about the gender of the baby.Finally, I gave birth to a handsome, perfect, and healthy baby boy. My husband named him Vito. We're happy to accept the God-given destiny. We're feeling so glad and proud. 

Giving birth to one baby was the incredible journey for me, it wasn't as easy as I imagined before. I wonder what if I gave birth to twins. Pregnancy baby twins must be a harder struggle. So, I was very grateful to be given a sweet and lovely baby only. It's been 7 years ago, and my son is an elementary student now.

However, if I'll be given a God-trust to be carrying twins for the next pregnancy, I need to pay attention to this. I got so many precious experience from my first pregnancy and baby birth. There are so many preparations that I have to provide. I got all the conclusion from the experience when I gave birth to my first baby.

Preparing for twin pregnancy:

• Prepare your both (you and your husband) mental, because caring twins means you have double duties. You and your husband should have a good cooperation each other.
• Prepare all the baby's needs in two boxes with full baby needs for each.
• You have to get your intake of healthy and foods, to provide breast milk for two babies. It means that you should be eating more nutritious food intake.
• Make a special schedule for shopping or washing, and create a list of what you need for everyday needs. If you cannot do that, or if your husband works, there is someone or other family members that you can ask for help.

Every pregnancy is special. I believe all parents always try and give the best thing for their baby.
