I feel like a bad mom already

Mrs.Mezzy

I am really excited and know that I will love my babies more than anything but I am soooo scared and worried about having two!  My dh is so wonderful and so excited but I am the more practical one and just concerned about how we're going to make it. Everytime I think about all the things I will need I start a mild panic attack... everyone says how exciting it is and I am excited but they aren't the one who will take the babies home and need to care for them. I guess I'm just worried I won't be good enough.  I would not want our lives to be any other way, it's just a scary prospect to go from no kids to a whole family in 9 months flat!

It can be overwhelming to feel that way!!!! I won't lie to you, some days are tough, but you learn to take it one day at a time! If it makes you feel any better, I am in nursing school right now and have a soon to be three year old! Just do what you can and realize that if one has to cry for a few minutes, they will be ok too!  You'll love it!!! I've had some crying episodes too and I'm not much of a crier! I think that's the nursing school pressure though!

It's okay to be scared. IMO, better that you feel this way than to think all will be blissful and having twins will be adorable. Yeah, it is super duper hard, but once you get through the first few months it gets sooooooooooooooooo great. I can't tell you how many times over the past few months I have said, "I am SO glad I had twins!" I can't imagine only having one! How boring would that be?

It'll be okay. Promise. Twins are awesome.

I am so glad you posted this b/c I am feeling that way a lot, too.  Just as you said, I am excited (and even more now than I was originally was), but I am worried.  Thanks to those of you who responded.  Your posts are encouraging and gave me a warm feeling.

When I first found out I was having twins, I was almost depressed about it.  It was the first time DH and I even thought about trying to start a family and the BOOM! we're having two babies.  It was a huge shock to get over.  After a while though, I began to see how lucky and special we were to be blessed with two babies.  Now, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

Thank you guys for letting me know that I'm not the only one to feel this way! I know it will all work out, it's just a scary transition to make!
