it took my husband and I 3 years and IVF to have our twins. We were told we had a less than 1% chance of ever conceiving naturally. Well the drs were wrong because I'm pregnant with baby #3 the old fashioned way! For those MoMs that had multiples and then a singleton, especially close together, how was it???? When this baby is born I'm going to have 3 kids under 2 years old!!!!
It'll be alright. I did it the other way around, and they are almost exactly 2 years apart, but the youngest will be cake compared to the toddlers. I still think my older son is a much bigger handful than the twins together.
TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!
Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!
My girls are 18 months and I have a 4 month old singleton. It's not as bad as I thought it would be! I have a good routine with them now and it's not a problem taking care of all three on my own. We are actually considering trying for a fourth next year! You will be fine if you can handle twins 1 baby is a breeze.

Our experience was good. We do have a lot of help from my mom in the evenings sometimes and a part time nanny during the week. DD was 16 mos when the triplets were born. They were home within 6-8. Wks. You will find having the multiples being older is easier. . They can entertain.a singleton is used to all the attention:(.
