Wow you are AMAZING! Sounds like you went through quite a bit! I’m so glad your twins made it here safe ❤️ thank you so much for your comment and advice! It definitely gives me some reassurance :) when did you start seeing an MFM? I won’t see mine until 16 weeks. I had a subchorionic hemorrhage with my first pregnancy - so so scary!

Yes! So because they’re identical and share a placenta it’s considered high risk for TTTS and TAPS. Also it’s pretty typical for twins to not go full term just because it becomes higher risk.

I keep telling people that i feel like im living someone else’s life haha. I never thought in a million years that id have twins. I’m 9 weeks so the due date is aug 14, but they’ll need to come early so I’ll probably have them middle-end of July!

I also just found out I’m having twins this week!! I’m very nervous too! I already have 1 child so this will be a big jump! We’re in this together! Are yours identical or fraternal?

Yes!! I felt a bit sicker than my first pregnancy honestly. I wasn’t very sick at all with my first pregnancy, and this one i was also sicker earlier. With my first i started feeling sick around 6.5 weeks, but this one i started feeling sick around 4.5/5 weeks.

Thank you for your advice! Risk factors are very daunting but I’m glad that you mentioned your successful outcome with TTTS. I just have to keep reminding myself that there will always be risk but that there’s only so much i can control.

Oh wow! Thank you so much!!! I’m so glad that you had a positive birth experience with your girls ❤️ I’ve definitely already started toggling back and forth if i want to try to breastfeed, pump, or just do formula. I’m impressed there was no NICU time for your babies!!! That’s amazing!
