Hi I’m new to all this, and I really need some help. This is a long post. Im
42 with 4 kids ages 19,17,13 and 8. I was on the pill and due to get a coil fitted. To then discover I’m pregnant. I’m approx 7 weeks. I had an early scan at 5 weeks and was told to come back. Went back yesterday and it’s twins but both have a slow heart rate. Not only this I’m so sick and feel horrendous, I sound awful but I didn’t want twins and I’m actually devastated for my health there health and how it will impact my family. One moment I tell myself I can do this and the next time I’m crying looking at options. I feel so poorly and can’t even function. I’m to go back next Thursday for another scan to see what’s happening but all I can think about if how I’m going to survive this. Am I doing the right thing ?
When do you start showing with twins? What is life with twins like? Join the conversation on our Multiple Births forum.

I don’t know, i think I have a fear of health implications for me and the potential of two and
my age, I think I have to sit this out till the scan next Thursday and see what happens. My son was born with a hole in his lung (he is fine now ) and I remember the feeling of absolute horror and the way I feel now it’s terrible. Nothing fits me I could
sleep all day. And the second I move I want to be sick. There is no let up.

@JPGR thank you I never looked at it like this. What’s a harmony test ? Is that more than the standard tests they offer ?
