Some people said we can raise the percentage of having twins by eating more food containing folic acid.I don't know whether it is effective but I think you can have a try.Just green vegetables are enough.

I am a twin myself, my mum raised us and my older brother who is 18 months older. She made sure we were fed at the same time and slept at the same time thus giving her time for older bro.
There isnt a way to explain how you cope as every child is different. make sure you have a routine and stick to it. If you get the babies to sleep at the same time then you can have time to do various things.
What exactly are you struggling with?? Is it caring for the twins, providing for them or understanding how to bring twins up??

I don't have twins but I have two kids and I find it difficult to handle them as they grow older. They tends to bickers and fight very often and I am thinking of gettin experience from those who have twins or more on how to handle two at the same time.

I didn't have twins but have brothers that are twins. I thought I wanted twins until I had my second child.
I had 4 babies in 6 years so almost had twins. You take one day at a time and one moment at a time as well as each situation. I got the oldest to help with the next one as much as they were able for their age. When they were little it seemed to me to be easier then when they got old enough to fight. just take one thing at time.

I only have one child. I cannot have any more than that. My mom raised four girls and we did not give her a hard time but she had a hard time financially raising us. My sister has four children also and she had a hard time raising them sometimes and coping with all of their needs all at once. I guess it is just a mothers instinct to take care of more than one child at a time. I could not do it myself though.

Hi there!
The girls in the pix are my twin daughters. It is both hard and rewarding to raise twins. Even if they look liek each other (they're identical twins), I should have different approach to them. One of them is more sensitive than the other. They have different interest, different outlook in one given scenario so I have to be balanced in terms of dealing with them.
But no wonder at the end of the day, simply seeing them really makes my day. Their warm hugs and kisses erase all the emotional trauma I had in a day.
