When we are younger, we believe that having twins will be a walk in the park. We get to have two beautiful angels at one time. But then, reality hits when we become mothers for the first time. And while we are welcoming our tiny ones into this world, we realize that this can be a lot of work. This isn’t as easy-breezy as we imagined it to be. Giving birth to one child can drain us out so much. Imagine, doing it all over again. Immediately! Without any break!
And, the effort does not stop there. It follows with taking care of our infants and meeting all their needs. One baby can take up so much of your time and energy. Twins just imply double the effort! When we finally realize all of this, the respect for these incredible mommies of multiples goes way up.
Amazed by their strength and perseverance, an online photography magazine Birth Becomes Her made a compilation of 15 such beautiful twin birth images. We bring you here all these photographs to celebrate you mommies who welcomed a set of twins:

The divine feeling that you get when you look at your little angel for the first time is just so evident in this picture! Just look at these parents’ mesmerized faces while gazing at the baby number 1. Also, notice how the father continues to shower love to baby number 2 who is still on the way!

For nine months, babies don’t really get a chance to stretch out their (little) limbs. So, look at these little ones harnessing this opportunity to the fullest!
6. Time To Bond With Dad

It is equally important to have a skin-to-skin contact with daddy as it is with mommy. Check out this father having his first skin-to-skin with his twins in the operating room (one in each arm).
