Expectant Parents
When most parents find out that they are expecting, it is the most amazing time of their lives. As Mom’s belly grows, they become more and more excited about the upcoming birth. One of the biggest days for expectant parents is the day that they go for the first ultrasound. This is the first time that they will get a good look at their baby. It is a miraculous experience that the parents will never forget.
Twins On the Way
During the first ultrasound, some parents find out that they are expecting twins. At first, the news is hard to take. Twins require more work, more diapers, more clothing, and more food. Raising twins can be challenging, but most parents of twins wouldn’t change it for the world. One huge benefit of having twins is knowing that your children will always have a best friend. Studies have shown that twins have a stronger bond than siblings who aren’t twins. Twins spend the first 40 weeks of their life in their mother’s womb together. Some say that identical twins have a stronger bond than fraternal twins do. If you ask a fraternal twin, they will tell you that this is untrue.
The Family
A woman and her husband whose names are unknown found out that they were expecting twins. They had always wanted a big family; therefore, having twins during the first pregnancy would help them reach their goal faster. During the ultrasound, they found out that they were going to be having identical twin boys. Both Mom and Dad were thrilled.
The Boys Arrival
When Mom went into labor, she and her husband were beyond excited. They headed to the hospital the birth went exactly as planned. It was what happened after the boys were born that the amazing event occurred.
A Twin Bond
When the boys were born, they were crying. This is normal for a baby who was just forced out of his mother’s warm, safe, comfortable womb. The boys were crying, and they seemed to be inconsolable. This was when the boys showed exactly how strong the bond between twins could be. The boys were crying, but when they reached out, and their hands touched, they stopped crying. The doctors and nurses in the room were astonished, but not as shocked as Mom and Dad. Fortunately, there was a camera handy. Moments after birth newborn twins astonish everyone making Dad run for the camera.
Keeping the Boys Together
When the twins’ parents saw the bond that their twin sons have mere seconds after being born, they decided that they wouldn’t separate them at bedtime. They thought that the boys would feel happier and safer if they were allowed to sleep together at night.
Perfectly Safe
When the boys’ parents decided to let their sons sleep together, some people told them that it was dangerous and they shouldn’t allow it. Fortunately, the National Health Services made a statement regarding this. They say that when twins are young, there is nothing wrong with allowing them to co-sleep. In fact, co-sleeping is beneficial. When parents put their twins in the same bed, it can help them regulate their body temperature and their sleep cycles. One twin can also soothe the other.
Safe Co-Sleeping
National Health Services says that co-sleeping is safe as long as it is done properly. When you allow your babies to co-sleep, you should follow the same safe sleeping measures as you would for a single baby. The babies should be placed on their backs with the top of their heads facing one another and their feet at opposite ends of the crib. They can also be placed side by side on their back with their feet at the foot of the crib.
Letting the Babies Snuggle
The parents of the twins knew that they were right about allowing their sons to sleep together. What they witnessed in the hospital that day was proof that their sons needed to share a crib.
See It For Yourself
Thanks to the camera that Dad had nearby, he was able to catch the sweet moment on video. After he posted it online, it quickly went viral. Social media users all over the world were sharing the magical moment between the boys.
YouTube Description
Most expectant fathers have a camera on hand so that they can record the birth of their baby. When a woman went to the hospital to give birth to her twin sons, her husband made sure that his phone was close by. He wanted to get a video of his twin sons right after they were born. He never expected to get the footage that he did.
The baby boys were crying when they came out of their mother’s womb. After getting cleaned up a bit, the boys were still crying. It seemed as though they couldn’t be consoled. It wasn’t long before something amazing happened. These boys were just an hour old, and they were able to prove how closely twins bond even immediately after they were born. Their father managed to catch the moment on film, and he is glad that he did. You have to see the video for yourself to believe it.
