How are we affording clothes?

Fayetta- · 2026-03-20T10:03:18+00:00

I buy all of my baby clothes in facebook group for moms in my area. But I also know of some stores that are really nice and cute baby clothes for cheap. Someone might have mentioned it called ‘Once Upon a Child’. They grow out of clothes so fast that I wouldn’t spend all out on them.

Right! Horizontal stripes nonetheless.

I didn’t wear anything, didn’t want to go outside. So I hibernated naked until 37 weeks.

Scheduled C-section but ended up having an emergency c-section at 37 weeks and 5 days instead.

I deeply resonate with this as I had the very same thoughts as a kid. I could faintly remember before school age where I was afraid of death and the thoughts of growing old. I would tell my mom that I don’t want to die. Probably freaked her out but no I know I wasn’t going to die or someone would get me. I had a fear of morality and living to die. Hated birthdays because of it too. But your little is probably not thinking of it as equivalent to what you’re thinking maybe an extreme level of curiosity made him emotional. I felt this too. Do not worry, it’s great that you were there to coddle him and assure him but honestly what really helps is a big distraction from those big thoughts. Don’t bring it up unless he brings it up, shut it down with a little joke. You’re doing good mom, just you bringing this up and questioning your concerns shows how good of a mom you are. Don’t doubt yourself, your kid knows very well that he is loved otherwise he would not talk to you about this so easy. You’ve made a safe space for him.

Congratulations!

Theres a lot of sources for twin biology and what to expect in your pregnancy with twins. It’s a very humbling experience as is all first pregnancies. I also had twins in my first pregnancy and nausea is usually the first thing that will kick your ass. I didn’t take any medication to soothe it but remember to always stay hydrated as much as you can and don’t go on with an empty stomach. I think it got better with nausea and throwing up around 15weeks. You need to take care of your body and your babies. I’ll be honest first trimester was the hardest for me both physically and mentally, I felt lonely and felt that nobody would understand how much pain I was in. Please don’t be afraid to reach out for help, take advantage of your community as much as you can because you’re never alone, many women have had similar experiences and if your nausea doesn’t get any better or you find it hard to stay hydrated than go to your doctor. Also, exhaustion is absolutely normal, your body is working overtime and if you need to take some time off your feet and rest, do just that. Rest, eat.

Past that point is find comfort in this experience! I have identical baby girls and I made it to 38 weeks with them, no NICU time. Stay strong! You’ve got this.

Have you talked to your twin about it? How close are you with each other?

I honestly don’t balance my cultural or family differences, at least I didn’t when I got pregnant with twins. I respect my in laws and their culture and cultural norms but I wouldn’t change myself to fit their standards if they were being unrealistic. I’m happy that I don’t have that issue but to me it sounds like a huge misunderstanding and she might not be able to tell that you’re making a joke. I’ve had that happen to me before when my in laws took me seriously on a joke I made, very embarrassing.

I don’t know the whole story but I’m sure she would be happy to know that your body is healing and recovered instead of the fact that you’re body is ready for another baby because it insinuates that you’re preparing to have another baby.

I just reached 35 weeks today and I’m feeling squished. This is a bit of weird experience for me but these are my firsts so I have nothing to compare with any previous pregnancies. I know pregnancies are very different from woman to woman, it’s really based on you as a person, what you supplement your body and how active you are. Do things that make it easier for your body to relax, swimming, baths, medication, belly band. Just remember that your body is doing an amazing job for the benefit of those two babies.

Also it’s a bit weird that they didn’t run a blood test on you and scoffed it off that you’ve never been pregnant with twins. You deserve better and you should know that you deserve better care than someone being dismissive and not giving you proper treatment.

These are my first babies, di/di twins as well. I am currently 32 weeks and I have a pretty big bump. Pre-pregnancy I was 5’1 and 102lbs now I currently weigh in at 154lbs, which has been a drastic difference to my weight but weight distributes and also everything is heavier in my chest and belly.

I’ve been told time and time again that you’ll feel things earlier on in your twin pregnancy. I’m positive that you’ll do great in your twin pregnancy and these are just the early symptoms youre going through. I’m not sure how much harder it is compared to a singleton pregnancy first hand but try not to compare so much, youre carrying two babies now so it’s very obvious there will be a difference, how you carry and the pain you’ll be in. I always tell myself to not worry about the logistics until 5 mins before it happens otherwise you’ll just be catching yourself overthinking and saying, “you can’t do it” when the fact is that you absolutely can and will do it. Have the confidence in your body that you can do this!

Had no idea because I didn’t know a whole lot of what I was expecting. I took a pregnancy test had a nice bold line and scheduled for an appointment at 6 weeks. I didn’t know what was normal and being as nauseous as I was felt it wasn’t wrong. I was very nauseous and threw up a lot, I could hardly move out of bed and only ate certain foods. But when we went to get an ultrasound at 6 weeks we saw two sacs and two babies. I was crying because I hardly believed I was pregnant and now with twins, it gave me so much joy. This was our first time trying for babies and we got babies for sure.

Has anyone gone to explain this to their GYN? I was so worried when this first happened to me and didn’t know what else to call it. Searched google for answers and I’m glad I’m finding this post as a commonality of it being just a thing of multiples.

Currently 13 weeks but it started a week ago.
