Hi Lucy this video helped me so much, I'm in the same boat as you but I'm a new mum currently 32 weeks and soon to be mummy of identical twin boys, can't wait but stuck on what to put in the bags for hospital your video has helped though!!! ❤

[@carlypickard4962]

Lucy it’s giving me anxiety that your taking things in odd numbers and not even!! 😂😂

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Carly Pickard lol I don’t mind odd or even numbers 🤷🏼‍♀️❤️

Carly Pickard I just though this, like there is two what happened if they both need changing the same amount of times 🙈🙈

[@nbr9287]

😂

[@sophsXh]

I thought this exact same thing! Like wouldn’t you have 12 or 14, not 13 baby grows especially for twins 🤣 this helps me be a bit more prepared but I’m only 16 weeks at the moment with only one baby x

[@brith1269]

[@angelawinfree8613]

I would love to see all the big things you have bought for the twins.

[@mcswiftino]

You must be good at Tetris! Can’t believe you got all the baby clothes in that bag 😂😂

[@tijay8507]

Kotex towels are the best ones after a baby i swear by them and they were reduced to 50p a pack in the pound shop on Friday so maybe have a look and save the thin ones for the lighter days and you could decant the shampo/conditioner and other toiletries into smaller pots and bottles, also you could get some solid bodywash from lush as it takes up next to no room and it lasts ages ,rolling clothes is a life changer when it comes to packing especially if you use packing cubes or even ziplock bags as it makes them easy to find for example all nightwear together, bras and panties etc and it reduces the volume of the clothing xxx

[@aprildudeck5200]

I’m so excited to me the girls! 🤰🏼👶👶🤗

[@Hajl11]

You’ve got some gorgeous items in your changing bag 😍 I am also the same with the odd numbers I don’t like it 😂

[@shaunnagreen3179]

Wow its come round so fast you packing your hospital bag, I love all your baby clothes. Girls have so much more choice. I remember packing my hospital bag for my twins and I had a huge suitcase plus a small bag, I packed a weeks worth of clothes haha I only stayed for 2 nights. I breastfed my twins for 14 months and have 3 other children too so it is possible to breastfeed twins. I even pumped milk for them while I went to college to study childcare so felt like a milking cow at times lol so worth it though. Just go with the flow of things once the girls are here your a fab mummy so it will all come together

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Shaunna Green thank you Shaunna lovely to hear ❤️❤️❤️

[@mad4raisins]

That’s brilliant. I don’t know how mums of twins breastfeed both twins. I have a newborn and toddler and I’m finding the ‘on demand breastfeeding’ so hard x

[@shaunnagreen3179]

@@mad4raisins it was actually quite easy once you got the hang of it. I had the bigger of my twins feeding on my left and him leaning on my tummy then I placed the smaller twin on the bigger twin and he leaned more on my right side. I needed to have a few pillows around me at first so I needed to be comfy and I used a very sturdy feeding pillow. Once you get the hang of it I fed them both while out and about, I never bought any maternity clothes I just wore 2 tops, mostly vest tops and lifted the top one up to feed each baby. As they got older they could sit up and sit on each of my knees so it was like they had a boob each haha. They also had their own boob for the first 6 months and would only want from their chosen side but they just had anything that was going after then. For the first 6 months the did everything in sync from popping, weeing, napping but then they developed their own routine so it was nice to have one baby to cuddle and feed then feed the other baby and have one to one with. I still can't believe I have twins now and they're 2 very energetic growing boys.
