Pregnant with Twins? Have a Tender Tummy? You Could Deliver Preterm

Allie Walld

When you're pregnant with twins, your doctor or OB-GYN will tell you your pregnancy is considered high-risk, and depending on what type of twins you're carrying (Dichorionic/Diamniotic (Di/Di), Monochorionic/Diamniotic (Mo/Di), or Monochorionic/Monoamniotic (Mo/Mo)), that level of risk could be elevated even more. When you're carrying multiple babies during a single pregnancy, there...

The Reason Your Twins Stopped Sleeping Through the Night Could be Medical

Allie Walld

Every parent knows how exhausting it is having babies who don't sleep through the night. Sleepless nights with several wake-ups make for tired days that slip by. Suddenly, several months have gone by, and your babies are old enough to go longer between overnight feeds, and you can attempt to sleep train your twins (we did this when our twins were four-and-a-half months old).

You can't count on other drivers on the road to be doing what they're supposed to be doing. You hope they are (and most of the time, they are), but if you're like me, you assume they're going to do something that doesn't follow the rules of the road, so you always drive with extra caution. What you CAN count on is yourself—how you drive and what you do to keep passengers in your car...
