One of the first things that happens when you first find out you’re pregnant with twins after you’re excited is, “Oh my God, how are we going to afford having two babies all of a sudden?”
One of the things that I found out – too late for me, but not too late for you – is that a lot of the major diaper companies, the baby food companies, clothing companies – there’s so many companies offer twin discounts. And all you have to do is show them the proof of birth, that you have twins or triplets or whatever and you get discounts on diapers and baby food and formula. And that really helps.
In addition to that I usually recommend to people to ask for on your registry instead of maybe all of the stuff that you might not need like your little clothes, ask for a fund for a doula or a nanny. It helps you in the beginning to just really get set up.
Additionally, I know it’s down the road, but it’s something to think about – a lot of colleges offer twin discounts. On my website I have a whole page just devoted to discounts and deals specifically for multiples.
