Well - that's my advice.  Remember you are applying for WTC as well as CTC. 
Just enter number of kids as zero, and then amend when you have the birth 
certificate.  (Or certificates - twins by any chance...?!)

Life will be hectic when you have the new arrival(s) - so if you forget to 
claim promptly, at least you should be able to back-date it.

So long as you don't forget...!!
