10 month old and pregnant with twins

mamared99

I have a 10 month old girl, and just found out I am pregnant with twins (due 1/2024)! I am terrified and excited all in one. Anyone else experience this? Any words of encouragement?

Hi! Congratulations!!
I had two kiddos 3 and 2 and then had my twins!
A bit different, but similar with just having more babies at once.
Don’t be scared. One day you’ll wonder what life ever was without them. You just learn to roll with it 🤪 my twins will be 5yo this month. I remember their dr telling me to try to let my older girls help as much as possible and try to incorporate them into everything. When the twins napped i did stuff with my older girls just us, to make sure we had that alone time still.

Take it easy!! Pregnancy was different to say the least, but i was able to have my twins naturally without pain meds and weirdly enough they were my easiest birth. 6.8 and 6.10.
My biggest fear wasn’t the extra kids, it was keeping a healthy pregnancy and bringing them to term. It’s just one day at a time. My first goal was make it to 24 weeks, then 30, then 35, etc etc.
give yourself grace, rest when you need and can rest and try to think of it from a different POV. You were just blessed with two special bundles! 😍 it was soo sweet watching the two of them as babies interact, console the other, cuddle, etc.

Praying for your pregnancy and the health of you and your babies!! Do your research bc that’s one thing i was glad i did — learn to advocate for myself and babies in a way i never had to with just one baby. They will push a lot on you, but you decide what you want. C section, natural birth (to aim for, we all know birth is never fully planned)
Where you want to deliver, how you want to deliver, etc.

You’ve got this mama!! 💓
