Pregnant with twins

[MummyOfTwoLittles]

I’m a mummy to DD (4) & DS (2), husband & I planned to have another baby but just did not imagine being told there’s two!!! 😅
Don’t get me wrong, I know how blessed I am but I can’t help feel anxious & panicked over this pregnancy - it’s scary & I was very ill with second pregnancy & both birth experiences were not the best tbh!!
Double the baby stuff needed, double the feeds, double the nappies/changings, how do I bath 2 babies 😂 my head is working overtime & I'm suffering big time with sleeping, not to mention the constant nausea i’ve been experiencing - I mean I am unable to move off the sofa/bed some days, which is also getting me down!

any mums of multiplies have any tips or suggestions how to cope & what we should buy - greatly appreciated

thanks ☺️ x

Hey!
Im pregnant with twins, nearly due!
I found Facebook pages much more helpful then mumsnet for answers

if you’re from the uk there is a page called Twin UK support group :)

Aw amazing Otto223! How exciting - you’re nearly there ☺️

how did you find your twin pregnancy?

thank you so much for the recommendation, going to join this group now 😊

Mummy to 21 month old twins.

Double the stuff is a myth, somethings yes but some things no. There's a fraternal twins group on Facebook to. Which is full of great advice and a very supportive group from all over the globe.
One day at a time was how I coped but honestly routine will keep you sane!!!

Edited to add, the fraternal twins group you can join and stay in even if you find out their identical down the line.

@MummyOfTwoLittles The pregnancy has been a ride but has gone sooo quick! Feels like yesterday I only found out. I have no other children, so when we found out it was twins we was so shocked, and scared to say the least! But now I’m near the end we are both so grateful, and feeling so blessed to have two children to meet very soon! It is a boy & girl, so perfect. Do you know if you’re having identical or not?
my first trimester was awful with sickness and vomiting till 14 weeks. I was on Xonvea until then and it help a lot! Second trimester was good as I got back to myself, we had gender reveal & started to purchase things so it all got real & exciting! Third trimester now I have been resting a lot & getting all ready for babies arrival which is so nice, I did leave work pretty early as I wasn’t managing well. So waiting around has got a bit boring now 😂 I’m not able to go out much due to back pain & pelvic pain but managing at home.
We bought pretty much everything second hand, except for the pram & cots! All clothes & other bits mostly from Vinted & Facebook market place 😊 We thought we was going to spend a lot but going second hand has saved us plenty of money.
I hope your pregnancy goes really well!! All the best!!
