Momoftwins- thanks, any advice Pre-birth? Did you have them both naturally? Did you need to perform a episiotomy? Did you give birth way b4 your due-date or did you carry full-term? How long were they born apart? How early in your pregnancy did you find out you were having twins? Did that worry you? Did you take any precautions?

Sleep as much as you can.
See if you can arrange someone to help out overnight the first few weeks, even if only a couple of nights a week. It'll make a big difference in how you feel.
we put them down in the same crib and they seemed to sleep better that way.
I thought once they got to the toddler stage it was actually easier than singletons - there was always somebody ready to play!
Ummm - well, we bottle fed relatively early on. To save us the trip up and down the stairs in the middle of the night, we would make bottles in the evening and then put them in a mini dorm refrigerator in our room - much more convenient.

My twins are three minutes apart
after you have the babys= if they are both boys or both girls
you can test the placenta to see their Zygosity.

twin mom here. went 39 weeks, I thought they'd never come out. non-cesarian birth for both of them. I was lucky though, almost ended up with crash section for the second one. Had a great doctor, he only insisted on epidural because he thought he might have to turn the second one who was breech almost the entire time.
walk a lot early, it makes the last few months (what I affectionately call the beached whale phase) easier.
Mine shared a pack n'play downstairs for napping/sleeping before they went to bed for the "night" then I had one with a lot of reflux, so he slept in his carseat, and the other one in a co-sleeper by my bed.
I think it got better at about 2, but mine have only recently started 'teaming up" together to get into trouble (and they're 4 now).
Just remember that you know your children best, and advice that is given out may or may not apply. My example was that everyone always told me to separate them in school as soon as practicable (as soon as there were two classes). I did this last year and it was a disaster. Lucky for me, the director where they're going next year said that I could put them back together. I do ask them though whether they want to be apart, and if even one says yes, then I follow their lead.
Mine are very different and have different likes and abilities, so B'H we haven't had many competition issues. Last summer they went to different backyard camps, this summer they wanted to go to the same camp.

Now I don't know much about twins and things, but from all my reading on obstetrics, and what not, it seems that if the first twin is not breech, it doesn't really make a difference if the second one is, as long as it's not transverse, as your body has opened quite a bit that a breech second birth is actually not so complicated...
