If I had been pregnant with a singleton, I doubt I would have found my way to planning a home birth. Which is too bad; homebirthing a single baby would be a pretty easy decision. Choosing to homebirth twins requires a little more faith in nature, your body and your midwives.

Making a mindful decision about your children’s educational future has become an increasingly important concern for today’s parents. No matter which path you decide to set your children on, the important factor is to be sure it is a well researched decision that will benefit your children and your family. When you are beginning to consider your options you will most likely explore three basic possibilities; public school, private school or homeschooling.

I found out I was carrying twins on the same day that my twins were diagnosed with chronic Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome, on October 8 2002, almost six years ago. The internet was not the bastion of information that it is now – or if it was, I was connected only by a very slow dial-up modem, so the information I received came from phone calls with Dr. Julian De Lia and Mary Slaman-Forsythe, founder of the TTTS Foundation. It was not a promising situation. What I learned was that TTTS is rare – even some Ob/Gyns do not know of its existence – and often fatal.
