Hi

The birth is soon over(-ish) and you need to prepare yourself for being like a mini-celebrity each time you take the babes for a walk.

My identical twin aughters were 2 months early. They are now a civilised 9, but I remember being mobbed every time I went out, and would hear the same things over and over again.

I got thoroughly fed up up in particular with “double trouble”. My retort was “no, twice as nice”. They would ask if my babies were telepathic. My reply was “I’ll ask them when they can talk”. Finally, I was always asked why I had twins. The braver would even ask if I’d had IVF (like you’d divulge your fertility history to a complete stranger). My reply was that they were a product of a good night. That would shut them up!

Anyway, it’s wonderful having twins. The first year was hard, but it’s been more or less a doddle since as they amuse each other. They were born at the end of August, instead of October, but it has made no difference being the youngest in the year. They were late walking, but have a reading age more than 3 years older than their real age.

Good luck and welcome to a relatively exclusive club!

Thanks for that. OK so I now need to create a blog for all the best comments parents have come up with to shut up nosey strangers! I like “Twice as Nice” - I hope I’ll remember to use that - obviously I’ll give you due credit when I do!
