    i’m an identical twin and i asked my mom what’s the #1 advice to give to a woman pregnant with twins and she said drink LOTS of water, EAT (you're eating for three lol), and please please please listen to your body!!! She was a super skinny woman and after giving birth to my sister and I, she weighed only 92 pounds. But she tells us all the time... minutes of pain, a lifetime of happiness

    I’m an identical twin and my advice to you is to have individual relationships with each of your twins. My parents never took the time to get to know my sister and I as individuals. The world will treat them like a unit so it’s important that their parents don’t. You’re doing amazing though already. Your fears are just love undercover

    I know you probably won’t see this amongst the thousands of other comments, but here’s what you asked for- another twin mom telling you you can get through this. I felt so insanely worried during my DI/DI twin pregnancy (I also had a miscarriage right before and I was so sure I was gonna lose one or both of them) and it was intensely painful and I had so many preterm labor scares and these gremlins totally wrecked my body- but I got through it and now my boy/girl twins are 2 and thriving and I wouldn’t change it for anything. You can do it! It’s possible to have them vaginally and full term like I did! Many twins come early and many come via c section but I will send you all the good vibes that your body will handle the extra weight and extra symptoms, and that your cervix holds strong, and that they will both be head down at the end allowing for a vaginal birth. YOU GOT THIS.

I left my appointment crying my eyes out that I didn’t know how I was going to carry and care for two babies at once. But I did it and so can you. My boys are two and thriving. Twins are an extremely special experience. They are so so hard but I wouldn’t change it for the world. You got this.

      Same. Mine are 7 and it still blows my mind. Now I see the preemie clothes in stores and my mind is blown that those looked loose on them. And the strange twin moments when I get surround sound when something is said instead of in mono. Lol I was nervous too. But I found letting go and letting God helped me just focus on them and enjoying them in utero but my biggest advice to twins is keep them on the same schedule from day 1 and tandem feeding with a twin bf pillow is so much easier. I don’t think it’s any more difficult than having two kids. It just feels like you’re working on a factory line.lol

      My dad and his brother were 2 years apart and their mother dressed them the same, put them in the same sport clubs, and they were often treated as a pair. My sister and I are just over a year apart, and my dad made sure that were more individual... Though its easier when ones a girl and one's a boy.... However, my dad and his brother are extremely close because of their childhood but me and my sister are practically enemies and we don't speak. So it has its ups and it's downs.

    I was pregnant with twins after 9 years of losses. No one talks about how scary it is to carry a baby or babies after loss. It's like the loss steals the happiness of pregnancy. I had to buy a Doppler just so that I could hear their heartbeats when I needed to. You are not alone. Everything you are feeling is SO normal.

    I am a twin mom and how your feeling is totally normal. I was 20 weeks along when I found out, to say I was shocked is an understatement. I would bring up some of your fears with your OBGYN so she can provide reassurance and solutions. Just remember when you’re dealing with something difficult that it’s just temporary. That’s not meant to diminish what you’re going through but to remind you that even on your worst days there’s a finish line, a light at the end of the tunnel. Things will get better! Your pregnancy won’t last forever, and neither will the pain. You have an amazing support system around you. You will do great!

    I’m a twin and we turn 20 tomorrow and I kind of interviewed my mom asking her about her experience and if she’d have any advice for you. She said that she doesn’t remember anything that happened the rest of the day after she found out, she was in complete shock, she didn’t believe it could happen to her. It really didn’t sink in until after we were in her arms. Her biggest advice was to relax and rest as much as you can because once they’re out you wont be sleeping for a long time. She feels like we were the biggest blessing for her like she was meant to be our mom, but it was definitely hard getting us here. She said she doesnt remember a lot of the hard parts of pregnancy, most of her specific advice was for afterwards, for example, it takes a village, my brother and I became really close with our grandparents because of how often they were around growing up as another set of hands, bc we were definitely a handful. Also she talked about the importance of allowing us to have our own identity, growing up I hated when people compared us and it lead to a lot of competition and fights. It wasn’t until high school when we started to peruse different interests and our own priorities that we grew really close, (we were always close we just weren’t as happy about it before then). Her final words were to tell you to relax, everything will go as it should and once they’re here you’ll forget about all of the hard times. Twenty years from now, you’ll be where she is and only have fond memories to look back on.

    I had my di/di twins as my first babies(they are 3 now and I probably won't have more). And I was extremely scared and nervous when I first found out too. And I felt so alone for a long time, even after I had them and for about the first 2 years. Everyone around me just had one baby to care for and as a result, they could do much more with their baby. I couldn't leave the house with them by myself until they were older(some moms manage to but I just couldn't). They were very needy and I exclusively nursed them for the first year. I saw my friends with singletons go to mommy&me classes, go out with friends and just do everything that I couldn't because it's not that simple with 2 babies. It took until they were a bit more independent for me to be able to leave comfortably and to be able to start enjoying twins. I'm not saying this to scare you, but no one tells you how lonely and left out you can feel sometimes too. After all, there are way less multiples than there are single babies. But once they start interacting with each other and being sweet to each other, it makes all the hard times worth it. They are the light of my life and I don't know what I would do without them. They wouldn't know what to do without each other, either. I was also terrified of having a c-section but I delivered my twins vaginally and medication free at 37 weeks induced. Anything is possible if you have a good support system and doctor. Good luck to you. You will be the best mom to these twins! You will get through this and you'll be stronger on the other side of it.

    You're not alone in this! I DID NOT THINK I COULD DO IT EITHER. I FELT HOPELESS, I FELT ALONE, I FELT LIKE NO ONE UNDERSTOOD WHAT I WAS GOING THROUGH, WHY I WAS SO SCARED, WHY I FELT INCAPABLE OF CARRYING TWO BABIES.... But then I realized, You were made to do this! Yes, it may be hard sometimes, but it's worth it in the end. I was scared myself! Sooooooooo scared. Mind was running a million miles an hour about it. I started my RUclips channel to be 1 of the few to speak on twin/multiple pregnancies. I too was trying to find other mommies who have had or was currently pregnant with twins and there wasn't much look to. Thank YOU for sharing your thoughts and feelings to US who also need it most. My pregnancy wasn't what I expected, as I did end up going through A LOT which I will be sharing here on RUclips, BUT not everyones experiences is bad. I see a lot of women give birth naturally, having full term, healthy babies. I've also seen the worst, mine also being one of them and having two beautiful human beings come out of it strong and ready to tackle the worth after all the hell they've been through. In all of this, this is YOUR BEAUTIFUL JOUNREY TO HAVING TWINS and I'm right by your side. Any questions, I'll answer, I'm an open book over here! I WANT to help, I WANT to be the light in many women's fears of having multiples. To know that it's okay to not be okay and it's alright not to have all the answers either, but knowing we have each other to turn to when we do come face to face with these moments. I say this again, I AM HERE FOR YOU! YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS! I may not have all the right words, but I definitely can relate to you 100% and will do whatever it takes to get you through it. I want to be what I didn't have going through pregnancy with twins, and that's A LIGHT IN A PLACE THAT MANY FEEL IS DARK. I WANT TO ZHOW YOU HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS, ONLY IF YOU LET ME! 🥰🤗🙏🏽 I CELEBRATE YOU AND YOURS! YOU GOT THIS COLLEEN!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

    I got super-fast pregnant with my first baby a year after you did. And watching your videos helped TREMENDOUSLY. There just aren't people vlogging the reality of pregnancy like you do. It's truly a gift to mamas all over, like me.
    That being said, my mom is a di/di twin, which does run in my family. And twins are more likely when you are older and in subsequent pregnancies after your first. So I'm pretty likely to have twins if I get pregnant again. So thank you so much in advance for vlogging all the good and bad. You are amazing.

    I’m a twin! When my mom found out she was having twins she was scared and upset, but it’s amazing always having a best friend. Biggest thing I can say as a twin, is letting them be individuals. My sister and I have always been viewed as a pair which can be hard on both of our self esteem sometimes. I love you, you’re going to do amazing. It’s completely normal to be nervous!

    I don't know if your bedroom is still upstairs, but would it be possible to relocate to the main floor for this pregnancy? Swap rooms for the duration so that you don't have the issue of going up & down stairs? And I'm not sure if you saw it, but there was a twin mom in the comments who recommended tandem feeding so they're on the exact same schedule (otherwise, you'll be going non-stop). Sending you so much love!! You might have to rest sooner and for longer, but it'll fly by and they'll be here before you know it!! Love love love.

    Look forward to seeing your two little babies rather than focusing on the anxiety and being scared of what will happen during pregnancy.
    I wish you all you the best and remember us women are built for these babies. ❤️❤️

    Mom of di/di boy/girl twins here! I’m only 5’2. I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it. I was scared (no terrified) about the pregnancy and newborn stage. But my babies are 7,5 months! I did it and you can to! It can be scary and hard sometimes but you are not alone. Praying for you and your babies. I let my fear steal some of my joy during my pregnancy. But girl if I had only known how amazing it would be when not one but two babies smiled at me for the first time. Such a gift. Twins mamas are strong and that totally includes you.
    There are twin mom Facebook groups and they can be such an encouragement at times.
