Just wanted to say congrats!! The beginning of pregnancy was rough on me as well. It improves a little in the 2nd trimester. I cannot imagine having two other children at the same time though!! BIG :love0028: for you!!

 

Congrats on the twins and :sign0016: !!!!

My pregnancy definitely improved towards the end of the 2nd trimester for me ~ the first few months were rough due to morning sickness and anxiety for me, but once I grew more accustomed to the twin pregnancy it all balanced out
I have not had a singleton pregnancy, but I would imagine that it must be different with the twins (I didnt have anything to compare it to!).
Hang in there & try to rest & relax when you can (I know it must be hard with your other kids running around - supermom!)
You will find so much information & support on Twinstuff, so visit often & let us know how things are progressing!

 

I was so sick and yucky during the entire first trimester, and I didn't start feeling better until closer to 20 weeks (not to discourage you). But it will subside, I think. . . just those early yucky hormones helping get your body to work on building twins. But I won't lie - being pregnant was twins was far harder for me than being pregnant with singletons!

Hang in there! Congratulations!

 

:wavey: Angela and welcome to Twinstuff! :Clap: You found one of the best places on the internet for advice, support and friendship. :good:
For me, it got better when I was around 22 weeks because that's when the all day sickness went away. Plus I wasn't too big yet and could still move around with ease. As for the anxiety, :hug99: just know you are a great mom already and CAN do this. We're all here for you.

 

congratulations on your twins! My sister also had 2 boys before having her twin girls... her boys were almost 3 and almost 6 so a bit different. Take good care of yourself and take it easy as much as you can- a twin pregnancy is so much different than a singleton so listen to what your body is telling you! Good luck and congrats again!!

 

Congrats and welcome! Get lots of rest, fluids and food!

 

Congratulations and :sign0016: to twinstuff! x
