Here we go!! I am a mom of the 3 y.o. ds and was trying for one more and now I am having twins! Que excitement and crippling fear! :) Both ds and the twins are from fertility treatment so I did now there was a chance of twins, I just really didn't expect it. Yesterday I had my first u/s and both babies are measuring on track and have strong heartbeats. I am 6w5d.  I have a million thoughts running through my mind all at once and don't even know where to start with trying to process this information. 

I am so happy that my family will be complete. We always wanted 3 kids but knew we wouldn't go through fertility treatment again after this time. So I feel very blessed. I am also terrified I won't be able to handle it, I will never sleep again, that ds is going to feel really left out, that I won't get a chance to bond with both babies... the list goes on.  I am assuming that is all normal fears?

My one big question/concern right now is what is the chance of something going wrong and having a m/c. I have seen the heartbeats which is a good sign right? But is it still a high chance at 6 weeks? Should I not get to excited yet? I am such a worrier.

    I also have a ds who will be 3 very soon and am 19 wks pg with boy/girl twins. They are all from IUIs. I know what you mean about not wanting to return to fertility treatments.

    Of course there is always some risk of miscarriage but I would just think positive.

    I worry about DS too but I know in the long run these babies will be his best friends.

    Hi and congrats!

    Seeing the heartbeat is a good sign and the chance of miscarriage does decrease after that. The next milestone I believe is getting through the first trimester. Although, to be honest, I'm 19 weeks and am still petrified of losing them (especially when you read stories on here of second tri losses). I don't think it ever completely goes away.

    Welcome and congratulations! I am not sure the fear ever went away during pregnancy. Try your best to take it one day at a time. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy!

    I echo what others have said but mostly, I want to say Congratulations!  My MFM said once you see the heartbeats, the rate of miscarriage drops dramatically.  That being said, I still worry and I'm 25+ weeks and I feel the babies daily.  It's what we do as mamas.  Soon, they'll be born and we'll have new things to worry about ;)
