Hello everyone,
I’m almost 10 weeks pregnant and I know from an early scan (due to some intuition!) that there’s two babies. I also have a little girl who will be 3 years old when they’re born.
We’re really excited but very scared of going through the baby stage, as we struggled so much with DD (colic/ allergies).
I’m starting to think of long term plans, we’re due to exchange contracts soon on what will hopefully be our forever home (more expensive than where we live currently!).
One thing I’m struggling with is that it’s very likely I will be unable to go back to work- due to the childcare costs. And also the general logistics of getting 3 kids to school/ nursery and dealing with illness/ school holidays etc.
I’m excited of the thought of being a SAHM although I have some reservations as it’s not something I’ve done before except for my first mat leave, I currently work part time and it works well but I just can’t see it working with twins? Financially or otherwise. I do feel a bit sad though that the working part of my life may be over, at least for a good few years.
I’m just wondering what most people with twins do? Have you just accepted the high childcare costs or did you decide to take some time out?
Thanks in advance.
