This topic can be difficult to talk about. Being a mom of twins born prematurely myself, I know. I wrote an article about it years ago and have recently updated it. For those moms who are newly pregnant with twins, I can't stress enough the value of being prepared for the possibility of a premature birth and, more importantly, a possibility of a stay in the NICU for your new little ones.

I have tried to find the "middle ground" on this topic from the attitude of, "It won't happen to me" to "I am scared out of my wits". Most of us simply want to enjoy our twin pregnancy and envision the most positive outcome. Though, some of us will struggle with constant worry. I believe it's all about arming yourself with good information along with a flexible and open mindset. There have been many mothers who did not think their twins would be born prematurely, let alone spend time in the NICU (myself included) only to have it happen. Just as there have been many mothers who agonized over the same situation only to have two healthy, full term babies. That's why it's never a bad idea to educate and prepare yourself. However your situation turns out, you will only be the wiser! You can read the full article about Preemie Twins here.
