Twin pregnancy help

[thetwinkles]

I'm currently 15 weeks with id twins. Start having fortnightly scans from 16 weeks so not long until I see the babies again. But I'm so so anxious. Trying to read up on stuff (obsessively) but that only serves to cause more anxiety not comfort. I'm so tired and stressed because I don't have the energy to do anything. House is a mess. Other children are running feral!

How can I stay calm and enjoy what will be my last ever pregnancy?

It sounds like the main issue is the anxiety issue . It can be debilitating and stop you from having the focus and prioritising .

You won’t be able to do everything and there will be things you need help with .

Have you spoken to your midwife about how worried you are and whether you can get some help to access some services to help you manage the anxiety and worries ?
As a pregnant woman you may be prioritised to access some support ASAP so I would try talking to your midwife ASAP about how you are feeling .

Being pregnant is a difficult time , carrying twins will make you more tired , and on top of having other children , it is completely understandable that you may feel overwhelmed .

Also , do you have friends or family close by who can help out ?congratulations on the pregnancy how fabulous to be having twins !

Thank you @Stressedttt I've always suffered from anxiety and depression. I've had a discussion with the MH midwife but I'm very good at saying everything is ok!

Ok it’s time to say you aren’t feeling too great .

You will feel much better when you have th support you need , and it’s no mean feat to have twins so I suggest you get the whole team behind you ! ( plus Mumsnet !) x

Thank you lovely xxx

Good luck 👍🏼💐 it will be brilliant ! X
