Im Nicky a 23 year old mum of twin boys. I am currently at college in yorkshire uk and am hoping to start university in September to earn a degree in nursing.

 I have an assignment to do and I need your help!  

I have been asked to write an essay on a subject that I know in detail and one that I find interesting.The topic I chose was Twins. I could write a hundred pages on how you develop a taste for cold tea, manage to change two nappies in less than 2 minutes and how many times I get stopped while shopping and asked 'Are they twins?'

I think my tutor would prefer something a little more educational, and this is where you come into it. I would like to research factors that are common amongst multiples such as low birth weights, premature births and fertility treatment to see what influences they have on a childs health and development

I had a trouble free pregnancy exept the usual morning sickness and back ache. My partner Roger and I tried for a baby for three and a half years before I fell pregnant with the boys. Luckily our first attempt at ICSI treatment (A form of IVF) was sucessful.
