Twice the babies means twice the appointments. Well, maybe not twice, but you will have more prenatal screenings than if the baby was flying solo. It's not a big deal

or a sign of anything bad happening, so don't worry if you feel like you're living in a doctors office.

Overall, pregnancy might feel more intense with twins, though that's not guaranteed. But, the likelihood of spotting is a lot higher with your baby duo chilling inside. This isn't a

big deal at all, but since spotting can be scary when you're pregnant, know that it's way more possible now that you're double the fun.

Folic acid is a great supplement to take to help you get pregnant in the first place, but you need even more once you've got twin buns in the oven. Doctors

recommend taking a milligram a day to help ward off birth defects and problems like spina bifida. 

In the "no duh" category, you might gain more weight with twins than with a single baby. It makes sense because twins means two. Still, it can feel weird if

you've been pregnant before and now you're SO much bigger. Don't worry, it's normal and you'll lose the weight when you're doing double breastfeeding duty.

This one is way less fun. But the good news is that gestational diabetes is a condition that occurs during your pregnancy, then goes away after birth. This can lead

to the babies growing so big you have to have a C-section. So, be a little careful with your sugar intake and try to keep your diet clean after birth

so that you'll heal faster and avoid permanent diabetes in the future.

With twins, it's common to go into labor around 36 weeks instead of the full 40. Basically, because there's two kids inside, you run out of room faster and they're

ready to get the F out. There's not much you can do to prevent your babies from being born premature, but doctors say anything after 35 weeks has a low

chance of complications.

Even though you have to push two kids out, labor is sometimes less painful with twins. You have an increased amount of hormones flowing through you which better prepares the

cervix for labor. Some doctors claim women have a "silent birth" where they hardly feel the contractions!

A C-Section isn't guaranteed, but it's more likely when you have twins. Again, this isn't any kind of problem, but if you're planning on a natural birth, make it very

clear to your doctor that you'd only like a Cesarean in case of emergency.
