0:07:34 > 0:07:35- Come on, baby, kick.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Come on, baby, kick.- - I think they've gone out today.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- They're not in!
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- I remember Annette sending me - a message on the phone.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- I was in bed, almost asleep.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51- She said she was pregnant and - sent a picture of the first scan.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- I sent a message back - saying congratulations.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- Then I looked again - and saw two babies in the picture!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- I couldn't believe it.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05- I sent another message, saying I - couldn't believe she was having two.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- I'll put my kicking shoes on.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- You can do it - without your kicking shoes.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- I lost my mum - to cancer two years ago.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- I felt there was a little void.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- I asked my husband, - "Could we have one more baby?"
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- He said "No more children."
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- So I waited and I waited.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- Then two years after...
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- ..I said, "I really still - want to try for another baby."
0:08:36 > 0:08:37- He said, "OK."
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- So we tried for another baby.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- From day one, I knew it was twins.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- This is a present - from Mam's baby shower.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- It's used when the babies are fed.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Mam sits there.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- The babies lie here.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- These are more presents...
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- ..from the baby shower.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- These are cloths - to wash their faces.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- There are vests and onesies here.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- And small mittens for them.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36- I like babies.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- They're so pretty.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- When Mam has the babies...
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- ..Oliver and Bertie - won't be able help a lot.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55- I'm going to help a lot more - than Oliver and Bertie.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- Twins occur in about - one in eighty pregnancies.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- Twins are created - in one of two ways.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- There are dizygotic twins.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- The zygote is the fertilized egg.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- In dizygotic, - two different eggs are fertilized.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- So the twins aren't identical - in those cases.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- We're here because Mam - is having her scan today.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- We're having a scan today - to measure the babies' growth...
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- ..to make sure - they're growing equally.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Hopefully, I'll get - a date for the caesarean.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- Then we'll have something - to work towards!

0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Often, a caesarean section...
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- ..is considered the best way...
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- ..to deliver the twins.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- But it's still possible - to have a natural birth...
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- ..if the situation - is optimal for that.
0:11:33 > 0:11:39- You can see the whole face - on Twin 2, which is the top twin...
