If you are in this situation or directly you already know that you expect two babies. Do not panic! In this article we bring you some advantages and disadvantages of what it means to have twins or twins.
Advantages of having twins
Pregnancy is a wonderful stage twice
Pregnancy is always a beautiful stage that every woman always remembers, beyond the passing years, but a double pregnancy is even more beautiful. Feeling that two lives are forming inside you is an experience that not everyone lives. Feel privileged!
Twins or twins learn to share before
Children who have a twin or twin brother learn to share before. They are in need of sharing from the simplest aspects, such as a toy, to their own room or play space from the first moment.
They are more social
According to a study carried out in 2003 by researchers from Helsinki University and Jyväskylä (Finland), the twins undergo a process of positive adaptation. What this means is that these babies benefit from growing up next to their brother who is exactly the same age as him. This gives them a greater degree of socialization.
A pregnancy, two joys
If you want to have two children and it is your first pregnancy, the joy cannot be greater. In the same pregnancy you will have your two little ones. You won't have to go through this process again if you don't want to because your two children will be with you in 40 weeks.
Disadvantages
Twins and twins are usually born with low weight
The low weight in twins is caused by the little intrauterine space there is and the placentas from week 24 grow at a lower rate than the placentas of simple pregnancies.
Double work
This disadvantage is very evident but it has to be mentioned. Having a baby is an extra burden of very important work and having two babies is a major challenge. Teamwork and patience will be your best allies in this regard.
Higher expense
Although it is not exactly double expense since there are things that can be shared, of course, having two babies is a greater expense than if we only have one. Some expenses that also increase as they grow. We start with more diapers and move on to two nurseries, two schools.
If you have already received the good news, you just have to wait patiently for the arrival of your little ones and prepare for the great joys and small disadvantages of having twins or twins. !! Congratulations!!
