TAKEAWAYS
Giving birth to twins can be more painful and challenging compared to a single birth.
There are options for delivery with twins, including vaginal birth and C-section.
Emotional challenges are common during a twin pregnancy, and it's important to seek support from family and friends.
Having the right gear, such as a double boppy, can make caring for twins easier.
Treasuring the small moments and taking it one day at a time is essential for moms of twins.
WORDS OF WISDOM
I was at Sunday dinner. I remember with my mom and sister and I said, I'm just going to head to the hospital. And they said, are you in labor? And I responded, I don't know. But at this point I don't care anymore. I am so done.
We can try, we can try and flip, but like the chances of it turning into a C-section are really high at that point because instead of dealing with one, you're dealing with two and there's just more complications. And I just decided to go C-section.
It took me a long time to get excited. I actually don't know if I ever really got excited for twins.
