Big shock!!

marcobonny · September 2013

I'm on my 3rd pregnancy, my first 2 are 7 and 19 months. And yesterday we found out we are having twin baby girls!! I'm 16 weeks, didn't have an earlier ultrasound because I was planning a home birth and I have a midwife. My husband and I are over joyed and in complete shock! Any tips on twin pregnancy would be amazing from those of you experienced with twins!! Or any advice overall!! Thank you so much!!!!

Congrats! My tips would be to eat and drink loads to keep up with your growing babies and keep your energy up. And don't stress! Enjoy the ride. I'm in awe of my newly born twin girls!

Congrats! You will learn a lot from this group. I sure have and still am! My twins are 5.5 weeks and I'm so in love with them. It is really tough at times! But, oh so worth it!

Congrats! I just found out we were having twins at 13 weeks and only because we opted for the NT scan, otherwise I would be in the same boat. I'm new here too and learning a lot!

Yay someone who's only 3 weeks behind me and having twins! So exciting!! We'll learn together I guess!! Lol how have you been feeling lately?

Eat 80-120 grams of protein a day. Eat. Eat. Eat. You want those babies as big as they can get! :-) I found out at 20.4 weeks we were having two and started strict bed rest at 21.6! They stayed in until 36 and 3 when I got my stitch out. I loved my pregnancy, LOVED delivery and am without words for how awesome these two are. Eat and drink lots and take it easy. It's worth every second. And you don't need two of everything. :-)

. I'm feeling better overall but having what I think is a lot of RLP. Hope you're doing well!

@MrsCaseyK, I've already been able to tell how important protein is, even more so than w/my first. I feel the need to eat it constantly! Just trying to keep it healthy protein
