Twin Birth Stories

In this section of our website you can read stories about other parent's experiences of being pregnant with and giving birth to twin babies. Pregnancy and birth stories are a great way to learn about situations similar or different to your own. We'd love you to send us your own story to share with others.

However due to the increased risks associated with twins, we decided to opt for a hospital birth.


Fifteen with Twins

This is my birth story: Fifteen with twins. It was the night of my year 10 formal. I went with my boyfriend, Cameron, of 3 years. We had a really good and fun night and decided to sleep together later that night.
