The discovery that you are having twins can be thrilling, shocking, and even overwhelming. I am sure many parents starred in disbelief at their ultrasound. The number of twins being born has increased, and people are still just amazed at their cute little faces. Many women as myself even fantasize about having twins.
I recently met a few moms who shared what it felt like to have twins and/or how it changed their life.

"My life as a mother with twins has been life changing. I had my twins when I was 18 years old a high school senior trying to graduate. I thank God everyday for my support system, they the main ones that helped me these 4 years. Having a set of twins is 10x harder especially being a single parent. Yes it's very exciting to experience carrying two little people at once, but with excitement comes problems. Carrying twins is a high risk pregnancy and with just a little slip up you could jeopardize your twins. Over all Caiden and Caleb are the best lesson that has happened to me. They taught me so much. The main thing is I've learn to go so much harder for what I want because I have 2 little people watching me. No matter, how much I stumble trip or lose balance, maybe even fall I have got to get right back up when Caiden and Caleb counting on mama to make it work."

" When I initially found out I was having twins I was devastated. The thought of two people at one time I was beyond scared, but from the moment they arrived it had been a love like no other. It's definitely not as hard as I thought it would be especially once I got a routine down. You worry am I going to favor one more, will I hold one more than the other but it comes so natural to spread your love. God gives his hardest tasks to his strongest people! The thing I was scared for the most has become something I love most.... Being a Mother of TWINS"
