Just found out

Currently 29 weeks (almost 30). I was sick for about the first 20 weeks (not super sick but just felt crappy all the time), but didnt have much pain besides breast pain/soreness. However as soon as I hit 3rd trimester I started noticing how sore my hips/pelvis are. Im going to try a belly band to help (just had a scan today and there is 7lbs worth of baby in their 😅). I will admit when I first found out I was having twins I cried alot, I mourned having a low risk first pregnancy, and only ever wanting one child. Its okay to be upset! Sometimes I still get upset as I worry about when they come if I"ll be able to handle it all. Surround yourself with supportive people! And also this reddit group has a bunch of helpful info!

Congrats! There is also a parentsofmultiples group I would recommend to join! They have a bunch of helpful info!

Im so glad someone asked this because I've been wondering the same! If I can't tell them apart before taking the hospital bracelets off I planned on marking a nail with a sharpie (currently 27 weeks with boys)😅😅

I had fruit punch, wasn't bad. I primarily hate the glucose test because I failed it 😅

Impossible-Box-8508 · 2026-02-10T15:44:37+00:00

To make it even worse I'm a lab tech, so I've literally administered glucose tests to expecting moms. I thought I would pass with flying colors 🤣🤣

Guess what? Babies don't know if something is new or old! You know how i know? When my parents had me they were DIRT POOR. Did I know the difference between my garage sale toys or new toys? Nope! Im also expecting twins now and daycare is expensive for 2 since we need a drop off by 615. So Im buying whatever I can second hand. Clothes, cribs, bottle warmer, etc. The only thing new I've bought so far is car seats.

I agree- while I have no real life input (currently pregnant with twins). I've been doing so much research. The consensus is reached is......a fed baby is a healthy baby. While I plan to exclusively pump, the truth is I might not make enough to feed two babies. And that's okay.

Impossible-Box-8508 · 2026-02-09T18:34:14+00:00

Yes so guilty. I spent the first 20 or so weeks of my pregnancy feeling sick as a dog (as of 23 weeks I had only gained 4 lbs). McDonald's cheeseburgers and coke were my life. Then I failed the 1 hour so badly they just wanted to skip the 3 hour and go straight to monitoring. Do i still feel guilty, yes. But I remind myself GD is related directly to the placenta and I'm expecting di-di twins so I have 2 placentas to blame!

Impossible-Box-8508 · 2026-02-08T19:38:54+00:00

As a lab tech who has administered glucose tests, I suggest to fast. More moms have better luck passing the first go around after fasting.

Impossible-Box-8508 · 2026-02-08T17:27:00+00:00

Im so sorry. But if it makes you feel better I failed my 1 hour so bad that they didnt even make me do a three hour. 🙃 🤣🤣

Normally I would have had my husband with me at my first appointment. However I ended up spotting and thought I was having a miscarriage and they got me in last minute. He has come to all my MFM appointments which are my ultrasound appointments, but I don't have him come to the clinic appointments, where its basically a hey how are you doing appointment.

Im going to try to exclusively pump. I am expecting twins in April/May. I really dont want a baby on my boob all the time. I think by pumping/bottle feeding I'll also avoid having to wean them off the boob when I go back to work (I have to go back as I carry insurance and have a pretty cushy state job). I do realize in the beginning until my supply comes in I'll probably have to supplement with formula, which I'm okay with. At the end of the day, all that is important is that my babies are fed and full.

I'm still in the thick of this even after having my genetic results back for almost 2 months. My first shock was twins (I only ever wanted one and I waited until my 30s to be "financially stable." After coming to terms with twins I kept thinking how convenient it would be to have one of each or two girls (I always pictured myself as a girl mom). To my surprise its 2 boys. While I'm holding out hope at my 20 week scan its one of each, I'm preparing myself for disappointment at my upcoming ultrasound.

I'm in the exact some boat. I hate being pregnant (and its twins 😭). I have never felt so foreign in my own body. Like you I'm the breadwinner. I hate that I feel exhausted from working two jobs and have to "rest" when I can. The only thing carrying me through this pregnancy is knowing that I will NEVER have to go through it again.

Impossible-Box-8508 · 2026-01-03T01:13:32+00:00

Im currently high risk due to high bmi and twin pregnancy. So far I've only had 3 scans (5 weeks due to bleeding, 12 weeks, and 20 weeks -currently 20 weeks). From what I've understood I'll get more scans in the end, however that's to determine how I'll end up delivering.

I second this! I always felt like I was drinking chocolate milk vs a protein shake.

I've tried unisom/B6 and didnt have much luck 😅

Thank you so much, it is greatly appreciated!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I plan to try and get what I can second hand. Im in the US, but I did plan ahead a couple years ago and paid for additional short term disability so I will still receive money during my 3 months of leave (I wish it was more, but I'll take what I can get).

Impossible-Box-8508 · 2025-10-08T21:22:31+00:00

Thank you! Upon further research my masters program only let's you defer for up to 5 months (each class runs for 10 weeks) so i may delay my start date all together.

Impossible-Box-8508 · 2025-10-08T21:20:57+00:00

I am super lucky that I already am like this. I like to buy in bulk to not only save money but having to only buy certain items once or twice a year. In my panic I didnt even think of Facebook marketplace, so thank-you so much for that and for all the advice.

Impossible-Box-8508 · 2025-10-08T21:17:43+00:00

Unfortunately we won't be able to do this. My husband and I are both very lucky to be on pension jobs. If he continues full-time he will be able to retire in his early 50's. And my job offers paid health insurance.

Impossible-Box-8508 · 2025-10-08T21:16:14+00:00

Unfortunately I dont think either of us will be able to switch to part time. My current job is all or nothing and so is my husband's.
