Subject : Freaking out a bit...

I don't know why i did but have been reading through some of the new mummies post about coping with feeding, sleepless nights etc and i'm freaking out.

How the hell am i going to cope with two babies??? How will i feed them if there both crying for food at the same time? or waking at different times? How am i going to cope with two newborns and a 4yr old who is my absaloute world!

I've no idea why i'm freaking i've got 23-25 weeks before the birth but i'm sat here in tears thinking of all the people that said double trouble and i thought no its a double blessing we'll be fine, but in reality how will i? i'm only 1 person and when hubby's at work how will i watch/entertain/love 3 children?

These babies are so very wanted but i'm so scared.

Hi

please dont worry ,im not having twins but i am a twin and my mum practically raised us as a single mum she reckons she got us in a good routine and that we played with each other and entertained each other a lot , maybe DB willbe able to give u practical advice i think she has twin and baby and another due in dec !

twins are a double blessing and im sureu will be a fab mum to all your kids ,I hope u feel better soon. im18 weeks and think hormones play a masssive part in feeling blue sometimes !

Obviously you know I'm not having twins. But I would expect you can prop the babies up if you had to feed them single-handedly at the same time. If you are lucky your daughter can help, as you will be there to supervise.

You just manage hun, that's what I've heard. have you posted this in the multiple births, you'll get lots of advice there. xx

please try and not worry,YOU WILL COPE.... mine were 9wks early and spent 5wks in SCBU i was really lucky as the nurses got them in a routine for me but sometimes in the night they do wake up at the same time for a feed,and i just popped them between my legs,one on one leg and the other on the other leg and i feed them at the same time and to be honist i prefer them to wake at the same time as i get it over done with quicker LOL! now there 6 months and there waking at the same time less and less but cos now there 2 big to prop both of them between my legs i prop the Charlotte between my legs cos shes a tad smaller and jack goes on the outside of my leg (i really hope this all makes sence for you LOL! ) and do it that way,i also have a 2 year old son and iam not gonna lie it is very hard work at times but it IS all worth it and it is twice the blessing!!!! so try and calm down and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy becouse it goes sooooooo fast,cant belive mine are 6 months already!!!!
