4 Things You Need To Know About Your Hospital Stay

  • You and your babies are high-risk and unique. Your journey is a special one. If this hasn’t been obvious to you during your pregnancy, it will be right after the babies are born. Once the babies are delivered and you have a few tender moments with them, you will be moved to a recovery room. There, you will probably be near other new moms (sometimes with just a curtain separating you) whose babies are right beside them. Twins often need to have additional tests done, or they might be moved to the NICU for monitoring. As a result, you might be alone for a bit, with your partner working double time checking on you and the babies.
  • Separation from your twins while they are in the NICU is difficult. If your babies are in the NICU, you will be sleeping at night on the maternity ward without them. You will hear crying babies with their moms in rooms around you, but not yours. It is a sad, sad feeling. Take this time to rest as much as you can, as your babies will need you to be strong once you are together again. Be comforted by the fact that they are under constant supervision.
