i gave birth naturally to twin 1 at home on my kitchen floor after what i thought were Braxton hicks, never seen my husband in such a panic, ambulance arrived just as she arrived in to the world, had trouble delivering twin 2 as she was breech but after lots of help and support she arrived 58mins later as i was being wheeled to theatre, all very traumatic but both healthy, delivered on 03.04.18, twin 1 Amelia weighed a tiny 4lb 6 and twin 2 aria weighing 5lb 9, quite a difference i thought, anyway we are now a family of 7 and adjusting well to the new arrivals, thank you all for any comments and advice/support during the pregnancy it was very tough and I'm glad its over

Kudos to you!! Try and put the bad things behind you and enjoy your two beautiful babies!

Can I ask if there monoamniotic? It's quite common for one to be bigger than the other but they'll make up for it soon enough! Congratulations and ask for all the help you can get!

Massive well done to you and your hubby! Amazing!! Put the scary stuff behind you if you can but if you’re struggling with doing that you can meet with someone from the hospital to discuss and talk through it. Congratulations on the safe arrival of your twins xxx
