[quote=Anonymous]Huh...I am a twin mom and surprised that there seems to be such a strongly negative consensus about the experience.

My pregnancy was fine. The babies arrived four weeks early, but were healthy and spent no time in the NICU.

They are about 1.5 years old now, and are absolute angels. It hasn't been that hard to take care of them. And I already had two older kids.

All that said, we've been particularly lucky in some ways that have helped out a lot:
1. We have a nanny (our older kids are in school, so the nanny watches just the twins)
2. The twins have been sleeping through the night since three months
3. The twins are very easygoing
4. The twins are both healthy, aside from the occasional cold

I'm not writing this to suggest that having twins is a breeze. It's certainly more work and can come with more complications than a singleton. But I do want to point out that it's certainly possible to have a wonderful experience.

FWIW...When I first found out that I was pregnant with twins, I was so scared and sad. Now that they are here, it's amazing.
