fears during pregnancy

I just had my US at 10 weeks yesterday and found out I'm having twins! While it puts my mind at ease a little more about my belly growing quickly (2nd pregnancy) I can't help but feel terrified that now I not only have 1 baby to possibly screw up but now there's 2!!! 

Don't get me wrong, I am so happy I'm pregnant with my little miracles, just can't help but be a little scared. How do you get over fears during pregnancy?

    Congrats on the twins! I have no advice, I am a complete worry wart but I hope you have an uneventful pregnancy.

  • I don't have twins nor am I pregnant with them but I don't  think your reaction is abnormal at all! My very close friend has twin girls who she obviously adores. But when she found out she was pregnant with them the tech said, "guess what? You're having twins!" Her mouth dropped and then came the tears. She just sat in the chair and sobbed. She said the tech didn't know how to react so just left. It's a lot! But you can do it! She's happy as can be now. 
  • Twins are scary. You automatically get to be high risk (varying degrees based on the type of twins), you're at an increased risk of pre-e, GD, preterm labour...That said, you can control some of those risks but the ones you can't control just mean extra monitoring (and extra chances to see the beans on ultrasound!).

  • There's a multiples board too- I'm sure they would have some insights. All of us have our worries, but I think the concerns that come along w twins are a different ballgame.
