Well, this is obvious and though giving childbirth is a challenging episode of every mother’s life, giving birth to twins makes it double.

After normal childbirth, the mother needs rest and proper diet for no doubt. Once the excitement of the birth of multiples passes, you will find that you are completely exhausted and worn out.

If you have given birth in a hospital, nurses will check your bleeding, pain, blood pressure and cramps for the first few hours. If you find any problem, you should immediately consult your doctor. The babies will be evaluated simultaneously. But if you have chosen giving birth to your multiples at home, make sure you have sufficient helping hands for the first few days.

Keep in mind the instructions of the doctor and keep in touch with him for at least the first few weeks. Be prepared for some discomforts in your day to day life activities after c-section. Self care and knowledge is a must. Do not try to do everything on your own. Take help from others.

You will have the chance to love and enjoy time with more than one baby at a time and this will help in developing relationship stronger. There is a fascination that surrounds multiples and this is undeniable.
