Negative reaction to multiples?

Anyone else had family and friends be negative about your multiples pregnancy? How did you stay positive?

I said to hell with them these are my children and if they want to act like that and their not even here yet they won’t see them when they are born

Yes, my husband’s parents were very clearly concerned and nervous when they found out. I tried to remember that this pregnancy, which is an amazing blessing and answer to prayer for us, would have been a nightmare for them if they were in our shoes. Some people just aren’t wired that way. Whenever they have said something insensitive or out of pocket, I’ve just made it clear that BOTH of these babies are wanted and we are excited to face the challenges that come with multiples. I don’t know if they have actually come around to the idea, but they have stopped making so many negative comments. Sending love to you! I know it’s hard. Just focus on those sweet babies that have been given to YOU and remember that you’re really the only one that has to be on board with the pregnancy ❤️

I have two girls one and two years old we wanted a last and final third but my mum went crazy when I told her in the end of the day is your choice if people don’t like it screw them. I hasn’t told anyone else because I don’t want the drama if people don’t like it then if tell them where the door is I had a big family of snotty people only just get on with my mum now after her partner died my dad a total drunk and my partner side hardly even visit or ask how the kids are doing but they f they can’t be supported them why have them stay it’s your life hun do what ever you feel is right and screw anyone else never let any on let you feel rubbish always here if you need a chat I know how it is I got pregnant four month after my first born never regret what you do only regret what you don’t do xx

You’ll get this after they are born too. It can be very isolating from family and friends as you’re the one with two babies. No one really gets what it’s like to have twins unless you have them. Don’t have any advice on how to get through it tbh, just solidarity. I expected compassion from family and just didn’t get it.

Question…

If you could live your life again with the same knowledge you have now, would you choose to have children?

Take out of the equation who your children are.

I had such a blessed life before children. And I feel like overall, I’m definitely a more stressed, angry and sad person than I was before. If I knew what I knew now, I don’t think I would do it. I know that sounds really harsh but I think the people who decide not to have kids are the ones who have really done their research and had proper hands on experience dealing with kids for extended periods of time.

I think you’d be lying if you didn’t have this thought before, even just got a fleeting second of your life….

Why is it so hard

Why is TTC the most mentally draining thing😭 I wish I could just be excited to be trying and for what I hope is to come in the future but it has taken over every thought I have

Anyone else super shattered and nauseous in 3-5 weeks pregnancy?

Wow I started feeling huge fatigue and nausea at 10 dpo, I’m 12 dpo and I can’t remember feeling it this early last pregnancy I had with my son. Anyone else feeling it super early on? I know it can be very normal. I’ve got a full on but rewarding job driving around schools doing Music Therapy and mental health support and I’m wondering how much I’ll need to step back on and how soon. Going to take it day by day week by week!
