So natural, I was absolutely so excited the day we found out. The day after I was an overwhelmed mess that wouldn’t stop crying, I just couldn’t rationalise how big the news was. It’s massive for you and the fact you’re carrying multiple babies, the plans you maybe had for a birth, the way your pregnancy will go and maybe how early you’ll start your leave, the potential NICU stay. For us, we thought we were so ready for a second baby because we had everything still from our first. Twins meant we had to move house, get a bigger car, and get a second or double version of everything. The freak out is inevitable in my opinion, it makes you normal
And now we’re 18 months in, and my boys can be hard work but it’s amazing. There’s nothing as special as two of your babies growing up at exactly the same time.
My days consist of them having kiss competitions, seeing who can beat the other to kiss me over and over again, and being passed every object we own while they say ‘ta!’

If you ever want a chat or anything just message me! I’m not great with replying cos life is busy, but I was due with Di/Di’s in March 2025, had them Feb 2025, and had weekly scans and appointments from 18 weeks! I was also showing from about 7 weeks it was ridiculous 😂 it’s like I did the test and immediately popped a bump out

Katie, you’re basically me in the future. I think I need to be your friend 😂❤️
I spoke to a few twin-mums and although they all gave me precious advice, none were as honest and comforting as you.
So thank you for that, thank you so much.
And yes my dog (Tonino, 11 year old you poodle) is the typical spoilt only child. It’s been just the two of us for most of his life, then I got married and he now gets spoilt but two humans.. He’s super well behaved and you can’t even feel he’s there but I have no doubts he’ll put himself up for adoption once he sees what’s in for him 😂
I offer in-app programs (and they’re personalized) that are home-based so easier to it into your mad routine. If you ever need any help, you know where to find me! I’ll message you now xx
The title says it all! I am on twin pregnancy pelvic rest currently and I've been doing that deed a lot more than I enjoy lol. Normally I hate them! How many of y'all are with me there?

Is anyone else feeling emotional/mental pressure now that their due date is lingering?
I’m due on Friday and really didn’t anticipate the guilt I’d feel when I hear family/friends say things like “oh come on baby where are you?!”, always with an air of exasperation 😕
Like I’m sorry that I’m not producing your child/grandchild/child’s play mate any quicker but these people think THEY’RE exhausted with waiting?
I can’t believe how much this is bugging me but it’s a weird pressure that I really didn’t expect 😣

Hi ladies!
Is anyone having an elective that has another child / children at home?
Just found out my date and I’m now terrified 😫

I’m 17 weeks and having a bit of an emotional week accompanied by a lot of overthinking 🥲
I’m a FTM and for the last couple of weeks I’ve really been struggling with having no sex drive and feeling like I’m neglecting my partner because of it. On top of that, I just don’t feel particularly attractive at the moment. I don’t really know how to dress my changing body and I’m struggling with not quite feeling like myself as everything changes.
I’ve also started worrying a lot about how the dynamic of our relationship might change once the baby is here and what it will mean for us as a couple. You see and hear so much about relationships struggling after having a baby, and I think I’ve got myself into a bit of an overthinking spiral about it.
I’m so happy and excited to have our little baby and feel incredibly lucky, which then makes me feel guilty for having all these negative thoughts and worries at the same time. I just can’t seem to get myself out of this headspace at the moment.
Any reassuring words or experiences from anyone who’s felt similarly would really be appreciated 🥲🤍
