I’m really scared

You’re not alone! I know multiple mums that have felt like this before having their first born and they were only having one! I’m expecting twins (due date January although they’ll be a lot earlier) and I’ve had multiple breakdowns, prenatal depression and anxiety episodes. It’s scary! But then this is why I love this app, not only is it great for a support circle - it’s great to look at everyone’s stories who have had twins and whether they struggle or not, they are ok. We’ve got this 🙏💕

I could’ve wrote this myself! I had severe anxiety leading up to my twins (4 months), to the point that the day of my c section I was physically shaking, mainly because I knew within ours I had two little humans I had to look after and I had no idea what I was doing. I never had much experience with babies so everything was new. When I say that you just get it, you do. I’ve been told that I was so confident with them and it just all clicked. There are good days and bad days, when the days are good you’ll literally feel like super mum 🩷 Feel free to message me with any questions and I’ll be happy to answer any. Otherwise you GOT THIS!! 💪🏻 and just know you’re not alone 🩷🩷 xx

Totally normal to feel this way. I think we're the lucky ones having twins as our first kids. Cause we don't know any better 🤣 if we already had a singleton and knew how hard that was and then BAM now do it x2, that would be so much harder than always only knowing twin life. Remind yourself that these two babies were made for you and YOU were made for both of these babies 🫶🏻 you got this!!

What Kylee said! I’m pregnant with twins and have a little boy who is 2! The fear is real! No idea how we’ll cope! No family support etc! Having one is so hard! Never mind 2 or 3 as I’ll have! What you learn as a Mum is everything is a phase! It goes by so quickly! It’ll take time but you do adapt and you get to know your baby/babies and they get to know you! You can and absolutely will do this! And when they start smiling/talking and meeting all those other milestones it’s beyond amazing! You won’t know love like it! We were meant to be twin Mums!

I’m a single mum of twin sons born in March this year. Don’t doubt yourself, I completely understand how daunting it must feel but trust yourself and that no matter what you can do it. Little tips to help: Space feeds 30mins apart (it was a game changer for me as it allowed me to focus on 1 feed at a time) If you’re going with formula feeds, measure out into dry bottles your night feeds and take a hot flask to your room so you don’t have to worry about waiting for the kettle X2 rapids cools helped for the off guard early feeds You got this mumma 💞

I'm a first time mum ...to twins. The beauty is , we know no different than to have two at a time! It's very hard but also very special and magical ! Xx

@Zoey to reassure you... I had a 3yo when my twins were born and yes, it's tough and my 3yo watched a loooot of tv in those early weeks but once we got into the swing of things it got easier and now my eldest is almost 5 and my twins are almost 2 it's so much fun and they love each other so much. There is more crying with 2 than with 1 so be ready for that but they learn to look after each other too - e.g. if one brother is crying either his twin or his older bro will bring him something to help (sometimes a teddy -good job, sometimes a potato-less helpful). My twins are much more socially competent than our 1st was at this age - they learn so much from being in a family of multiples. It's easy to focus on all the practical challenges (and they are real!) but there are so many benefits too 😊

@Hannah thank you! It’s nice to hear some positives! I am looking forward to seeing my little boy be a big brother! Sounds like your doing such a good job 🥰!

@Sophie thanks so much for this. I really appreciate it xx

@Rebecca this made me emosh reading this, thank you so much for this xx

@Kylee you’re so right!!!! Thank you xx

I honestly love this app, the support we give each other is so touching. You all are so right. I am meant to be a twin mum. I will be a good mum. I’ve got this. Thank you all so much for this💕💕💕

I think anxiety for having babies is so validated. Especially twins as your first pregnancy! Just know you are doing to do great! Don’t be afraid to ask for help!! ❤️ My anxiety is pretty high knowing I’ll have a 15m old - 16m old and 2 newborns to handle 😭 idk if I’m going to be able to manage or not. But I am super excited even with all my crippling anxiety lol
