Hi, I'm quite new to this site and I'm after a bit of advice. I'm expecting twin girls (due on 29 May) and I must admit I am feeling very anxious & wondering how I'll cope.
My main concern is my 2 year old daughter. I wanted to have another baby partly so she'd have some company but now I wonder how I'm going to have enough time to spend with her and look after the babies. Do older siblings generally find it hard adapting to twins coming into the family?
My Mum's very good & will give me lots of help & support, but I wonder if I'll ever be able to cope with the 3 of them on my own. I do value my own privacy a bit and although I'll be very grateful for the help I don't want to be so swamped that I never get time with my own family. I must admit I almost feel a bit intimidated by all the offers of help from relatives. I'd like to be able to manage by myself sometimes too for my own sanity.
Sorry if this sounds like a load of waffle, but any advice would be appreciated.
