Have a 5month old, possible twin pregnancy.

[mummy0412]

So as it says really I have a 5month old, and have only recently found out I'm pregnant, I went for a scan and shown 2, im still very early on in pregnancy so anything could happen im just wondering if there are any other mummy's out there that have been in this situation.
My partner is extremely overwhelmed and is unsure if we can do this, however myself.. I'm over the moon.
He feels like our first born will not get enough attention and be left out? Worrying about money, and all the normal things but these are something you work around right ? Or am I being Naive ?!

Not too sure what I'm asking here if I'm honest I think I just need a little support & advice ! ❤️

Hi Mummy0412,

Congratulations!

I’ve just seen you post, I know it was from a few months ago, but just to let you know your not alone!

I have a son, and then had B/G twins when he was 14 months. I wasn’t happy when I found out i was as having twins, I spent most of my pregnancy stressing about how I would cope with 3 under 15 months and feeling guilty about having another 2 babies so soon after my first. Plus my first wasn’t an easy baby, he suffered with colic and just screamed every time I went in the car. Plus he would never sleep in the cot, to begin with. The twins were totally different, very chillier, slept in the cot. Even thou there are two they were easier than my first!

My kids are now 2 (just last week) and 10 months, it’s hard, but easier than I thought it would be. And now the twins are crawling and my son interacts more with them it’s lovely to see them starting to play together and be a little gang. I personally feel having siblings so close in age will be a benefit, they will always have each other and hopefully be close. I don’t feel guilty about it any more, they won’t know any difference.

I’d love to hear how your getting on, and if you are expecting twins, I know you said it was an early scan.

@mummy0412 hello, I've also recently discovered I'm pregnant with twins and already have a 13 month old daughter and a three year old son. I'm truly terrified about having these twins and stressing about how I'll make things work but I trust that once they've arrived everything will fall into place as I'm sure it will for you and your family too!!

When I discovered I was pregnant with my daughter I was worried about how my son would take to being a big brother especially as he had been the only child and only grandchild and the birth of his sister coincided with the birth of my sisters baby followed shortly by my husbands brothers baby. But he has absolutely loved it, he goes into nursery everyday and tells them about 'his baby' so hopefully your child will react similarly

Mummy op how are you getting on? Can't believe you got no replies to your post - you will probably never look at mn again! I hope your pregnancy is going well. I honestly think your 7mo will be absolutely fine - yes he may not get as much as attention from you but he will get double from his little siblings.

Won't help you at all but I was the first born with twin sisters 18 months younger than me. We had no money (had no idea as kids) and lived in the middle of nowhere (loads more adventure possibilities), and my childhood was an absolute ball and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
