Our New Look
With the great success of our first year on the web, we thought a fresh new look was in order. It's upbeat, innovative, and distinguishes Twin Pregnancy And Beyond from the rest!
We will gradually be transitioning the entire site over to this new face, page by page. You can still browse and interact with Twin-Pregnancy-And-Beyond.com just like you always have, as functionality will remain the same. You will only notice that there will be some pages still presented in the old design until they become updated.
We appreciate your patience during the transition and hope you are enjoying the new look. Check it out!
Featured Mom
We will be doing special "Featured Mom" articles and interviews with some really fabulous mothers of twins. This is totally new, so we want your suggestions! Are you a mom of twins with something to say? Do you have unique circumstances, your own business, great advice? Or, maybe you know of someone who should be featured. Either way, add your suggestions to our Featured Mom Suggestion Box on the newsletter subscription page.Here's a sneak peak at next month's Featured Mom: Deb of Damboise Designs. She's a mom of twins with a creative business....Look for her interview in next month's newsletter!

Are you concerned about the financial, physical, and emotional toll of taking care of more than one newborn, or the possibility of complications during pregnancy or birth? Is this your first pregnancy, and perhaps an unexpected one? Were you looking forward to an active lifestyle or career that you are now going to have to put on hold? Or is giving birth to multiples your dream finally coming true?
