Hi All,
I guess I just wanted to vent really, I found out this week I'm having twins. I already have a son who is 8 months old, he will be 13/14 months when the twins are born. I'm just feeling incredibly overwhelmed.
We wanted another baby close in age, it happened a bit sooner than planned and was natural (I'm a twin so much for it skipping a generation) I had got my head around being pregnant and having two close together. But now I know it's twins I'm just not thrilled and excited, I feel dreadful for feeling like this.
My husband isn't phased at all, he's so pleased and says it's a blessing which I know it is, I'm just not there yet.
My son is gorgeous I love him so much but he wasn't an easy baby, he had awful colic and would never be put down. Once he started crawling and sitting up things and improved 100% he stated crawling early at 6 months and sleeps really well at night for 12 hours.
But the thought of starting again with two babies just feels me with dread.
I don't have much help, my parents are too old, I have 4 sisters I'm close with two of them but one lives in Bristol and the other has two small kids, they have said they will help and are so excited. My husband has also said we can get help if I need it.
Does anyone else feel like this, I want to be excited I guess maybe I'm just will and shock and full of hormones! Vent over thanks!
