I was pregnant with my first set of Fraternal Twins back in 2002. In 2007 I had my second set of twins although this time Identical Twins. During both pregnancies I used the web to read and research everything I could about Twins and Twin Pregnancy. I discovered many sites relating to pregnancy but very few sites dedicated to Twins or Multiples. There were a couple of good Twin websites such as TAMBA (a fee based membership site) but most of the Twin related websites I stumbled across were normally full of “text book” information not necessarily written by someone who had direct Twin experience.

I wanted a dedicated place to find not only all the information I was looking for but a place where the information came from those who really knew what it was like to be pregnant with twins and furthermore a parent of twins. I felt that much of the “text book” stuff would frighten many an expectant mother or certainly cause a lot of unnecessary worry. Informing oneself arms you with the knowledge to ask questions of the medical experts that look after you and your babies and also to understand their medical terms that are often overwhelming and difficult to digest. That is why I decided to create TwinsTips. Of course, my experience is likely to be both similar and different to all those other twin parents but anyone with experience with twins is more than welcome to join the social forum, add tips or comment on the pages and blogs; the more shared knowledge and experience the better!
