Generally speaking, the size of a woman may not affect her chances of getting pregnant. However there are other medical factors such as uterus size, body weight etc that could affect a woman’s chances of getting pregnant.
Well, it depends on the health of the mother. I don’t think the number of children a woman is carrying in pregnancy determines the challenge. Though it is good to note that multiple pregnancies is a high risk pregnancy and could result in some complications. From my experience (as I’ve experienced both singleton & multiple pregnancy), I can confidently say that I had similar issues in both pregnancies which was constipation and breaking out of acne on my face and neck and uncontrollable sleep during my first trimester.
Yes, but at different times. They like to switch, sometimes Twin one might be the goody two shoes for the week while the Twin two is the naughty one. And at other times, the reverse is the case.
The decision is yours. There is no right or wrong answer
Not necessarily, it depends on the mother’s appetite. In my own case, my appetite was essentially the same, I really can’t tell them apart.
It depends on the health status of the mother and perhaps the help obtainable. I didn’t fall ill following the arrival of my twin children, unfortunately I developed a terrible condition; post partum preeclampsia eight days after their arrival
Yes as I have interacted with some twin mums that did it, though I didn’t do it. Infact , my twin boys started with formula feed. My advice is you can consider doing it if you feel up to the task, however if it doesn’t work for you, don’t force yourself to avoid leading yourself to a burn out
Oh yes! Definitely, to the extent that you will have breast feed them simultaneously severally.
Yes, as long as you have adequate support system and you are also willing to outsource some of the raising to a nanny, relative or friend.
No, it’s a not a good idea. This will leave room for the teacher and others to start comparing them which is not healthy for them.
It’s not impossible but with a lot of associated stress for the mother / parents. I won’t advise adopting this option especially at the infant stage- the mother/ parent may end up been exhausted. Try and seek help and leverage on all available help.
Oh yes, very possible especially when one of the twins is more cooperative than the other. I had this experience at the infant stage of raising my twin children; I preferred Twin 1 to Twin 2 because he had a greater threshold for hunger and cried less compared to his brother who was very impatient when it came to being hungry or desired something.
For the choice of food, you may not have a choice but to accept the child’s preference if you have exhausted all possible options and there isn’t any improvement. As regards the meal time, you have full control over that and the choice is yours to ensure that they have their meal at the same time.
Of course not. In my case, they achieved a few together; such as teething and sitting. But majority of their milestones were achieved differently with no Twin taking the lead for consistently achieving the milestone first. Fear not, as they will both achieve all their milestones and don’t give in to pressure and the worlds standards.
I will advise you develop the same routine for them, do things concurrently for them as much as possible in order to prevent being overworked.
