Congrats and welcome! I am just about 16 weeks and it has already been quite a journey. My only advice is it take it as it comes!

Congrats and welcome to the best roller coaster ride of your life!

Best advice - everyone around you from this point on will have opinions, horror stories, advice and judgement. Listen to NO ONE! Unless they are a doctor, nurse or a MoM - Mother Of Multiples - themselves!!!

I learned TONS just from reading threads on this board. A twin pregnancy is a bit different than a singleton. Happy 9 months to you and yours!!

Congrats, and I totally agree with what the PP said, EVERYONE will have an opinion. Strangers in the store, your neighbor, your in-laws...and at times they'll make you feel like poopy for even considering bringing 2 adorable babies into this world. Don't Ever Listen To Them!!! Just smile and know that God has blessed you with these 2 babies because He knew you and your husband and daughter can handle it! It'll take time and patience, but you can do it.

I'm 18 weeks now and am hearing negativity, but I just smile and imagine pushing them into a hole and covering it up. It usually helps.

Congratulations and welcome! It's a lot to take in at first, bit you will eventually get used to the idea.

As for advice, listen to your doctor and the ladies on this board. You can also look into a local multiples support group. My local moms of twins club was a huge help. You can find a local club at NOMOTC.org.

Congrats! That's an awesome news. Currently I'm pregnant with boy/girl twins and I'm 35w2d. My advice is REST A LOT, stay hydrated, listen to your doctor, do as he/she says, be strong and take things as they come. Twin pregnancy is pretty different and a li'l tougher. Just hang in there and feel free to ask for advices and support here! That's what I do. I'm going through a hard time and I'm glad there are other moms of multiples here whom I can trust and share my feelings with. All the best! May God bless you three. Be strong and positive.

My daughter was 6 when our boys were born and she has been a big help. She loves her little brothers more than anything in the world and takes very good care of them, she thinks she's their mom lol. The age spacing will save your life!

Thanks so much for your thoughts, great advice! I've found just in the beginning of this pregnancy with the twins, rest is vital!! Your almost at the finish line! Way to go! Mind me asking what type of birth your having? I'm a little nervous about the birth of 2!

Even MoMs will want to share their horror stories - just try not to worry, most twin pregnancies move along just fine.

How far along are you? I am 13 weeks and the pregnancy is just starting to be different from those that are in the same week as I am but with a single baby. I've never had just one so can't compare it.
