New here :) 8w5d

Hi there! We found out we were having twins at 6 weeks I'm now close to 9 weeks along. I'm so excited and have never been so happy in my life but I can't deny that I feel a little overwhelmed by all the information. It seems like I'm never going to be fully education on the pregnancy, birth, and once they are born. How do y'all deal with the overwhelming feeling that you just aren't going to get all the information you need?

    Welcome and congratulations!!!

    Hmm, I think I went into "eff it" mode - as soon as we learned it was twins, I just set aside any images I had of me being the perfect mom, having the perfect pregnancy and delivery, and just take everything day by day and grateful that nothing has gone wrong.

    I felt the same way and still do! My twins are 8 weeks new today! :) I learned so much about pregnancy and delivery from this forum and reading some helpful books such as "When you are expecting twins, triplets, quads and more" and "what to expect when you're expecting." You will learn as you go! I'm now learning about their development and parenting. I think I've finally gotten nursing down, but I still have questions at times. It is a continual learning process! You've come to the right place! Congrats and welcome!!

    This exactly! I have no expectations and every week is a milestone! No reading books for me!

    D & L are here at 34 weeks 4 days by vaginal and breech delivery on 11/19/2013
    Two healthy boys weighing 4 lbs 15 ozs and 4 lbs 5 ozs.  Only 6 days in the NICU and getting bigger, stronger and cuter every day!

    Welcome and congrats!  Is anyone EVER fully educated?  Every pregnancy in every woman is different.  What works for one won't work for everyone.  That's what's so great about this site.  We all offer advice and prayers and try to help.  You can take our advice or leave it.  That's up to you.  Just don't be afraid to ask.  You could read every book out there (seriously though, there are some great ones) and some will contradict each other, but you'll never be fully educated.  You just have to deal with what has been handed to you as it comes.  Learn from experience, share your thoughts and experience, and don't forget to take a deep breath!

    (oh, and from what others say, stay away from Dr. Google.  All it will do is make you panic and worry)

    Learn this "motto" and say it daily, even if only in your own head:  These are my babies, I love them and your opinion doesn't mean crap.   (You'll be getting negative comments and advice from many people, just remember there are people out there that have dealt with the same thing and can offer advice. :)

    I'm pretty sure I've felt overwhelmed since I found out at 6 weeks...they're three now.  You just do what you have to do to get through the moment or the day.
