We asked the question of our members: What do you wish you had known before the babies arrived?
They responded:
“It is okay to ask for help and/or to be selfish as a mommy.”
“How hard emotionally it would be.”
“How hard it would be to leave them home, when returning to work, even though being a stay at home mom is hard.”
“How many people disappear / offer but never help.”
“What the NICU was like and that a multiples birth is a different delivery… What a c-section was going to be like. That 33 weeks and before they automatically get NICU time. “
“More about breastfeeding twins, and what normal weight gain is for a breastfed baby.”
“It is the hardest and absolute best thing ever being a MOM (mom of multiples).”
