Went to my first appointment which was an ultrasound and found out we are having twins!! Omg, I don’t know how to feel, so much unknown! We have a little one who will be about 2.5 when they are born. Any advice from mommas how you manage all 3 or have twins in general! What was your pregnancy and labor experience?? TIA

I also just found out we are having twins! My son is 5

I also found out im having twins! I have a 4 year old and nearly 3 year old im currently 12 weeks and suffering of tiredness and sickness!

i had twins 6 months ago! oh how this was so nostalgic! take it easy mama from now till your delivery and lean on your doctors, i’m not going to lie it’s a blessing but it’s also very scary carrying twins so lean on your on and your hospital team!! that’s the best advice i can give to you as a twin mom

Omg yay!! It’s hard but so rewarding! I had two toddlers when I found out I was pregnant with twins. It was really tough pregnancy wise taking care of two toddlers alone. Prepare for your back to hurt and waddle 😂
My doctor induced me at 37w because it’s the safest according to my ob. Overall it went well. No complications for me, babies and I were healthy. I just lost way too much blood, it was scary but we all were okay. Now having 4 kiddos, watching them all together is the best feeling ever. 🥹

Yay congratulations!!!! Honestly I remember that feeling like it was yesterday! I was crying and laughing at the same time! Did not know how to feel! And our little girl was 4months old at the time! Very surreal!
Not going to lie the first year has been bloody hard! At times i didn’t know how we were going to get through it!
But they will be 1 next month and my little girl 2! And honestly its the best feeling in the world! And i would absolutely never change it!!
If you ever want to chat feel free to message!
Congratulations again! And good luck you will smash it! ❤️

My eldest was almost 4 when our twins were born. For us They just kind of fit in with life. They had to. We had nursery runs, playgroups etc to still get out for!

yes. I was back at toddlersense at 3 weeks post cs with all 3 in tow. We don’t have family locally so just had to get on with it. I honestly found it easier being out of the house because the eldest wasn’t trying to fight for my attention.
It was things like making sure your bags are packed the night before, keeping a twin pillow in the car, doing bum changes in the boot of the car so you don’t have to fight getting the double pram into the annoyingly small baby changes etc that I found helped

Congratulations!!🎉 sooo exciting! I have 3 under 2 and it’s been a journey. My toddler is now almost two and my twins are 6 months! I also exclusively nurse the twins. I just spent a lot outside (mental health for me, distraction and calm for them) letting go of perfection (the house isn’t always clean), lean on help when it came! I was able though to have both of the twins vaginally! I did a lot of prenatal yoga which I definitely think contributed it.
