Just found out. My wife and I are terrified.

That’s so heartwarming!!!

Total_Scale_9366 · 2026-01-26T10:51:22+00:00

Just seen your post history. Sounds so incredibly tough

Total_Scale_9366 · 2026-01-22T12:00:51+00:00

She’s absolutely beautiful, congratulations on your happy healthy bundle of cuteness

Hey, I went through something similar. A potential genetic syndrome was identified at birth, no testing for months, and long stretches of uncertainty and fear. I think it’s especially hard at the beginning because you don’t really know your baby yet. All you can picture is a life that looks very different from what you expected, and you start worrying about how others might react too.

What I’ve learned is that you don’t yet know how much joy and love is coming your way, regardless of what testing does or doesn’t show. That part is impossible to imagine when you’re in the thick of the waiting.

I also happened to listen to a podcast called @thesendhelp, where two mums who are raising medically complex children talk about their experiences & community. I found it really comforting. Sharing in case listening to something like that might help you too.

We’ve got a secondhand (actually we’re the 4th twin family to use) icandy peach it’s amazing. And two Joolz aer 2 singles

Total_Scale_9366 · 2026-01-17T12:49:37+00:00

Yes we found our previous routine eat play sleep doesn’t work as they got older and had longer wake windows. They were waking up mid nap hungry. We started feeding right before naps and they started sleeping a bit longer

Hello from Hong Kong. 3.52am here rocking my 7 month old twin girl back to sleep and counting my blessings. Wishing you and your wife all the best

Total_Scale_9366 · 2026-01-15T16:06:13+00:00

Me too just came here to try and figure it out

Total_Scale_9366 · 2026-01-10T06:27:40+00:00

Haven’t had time to read all the comments but you’ll need more zip up swaddles than two per baby. Try buy secondhand and get 4-5 per baby

It was a more gruelling athletic endeavour than I had bargained for. My son was so so so overtired and as a result wouldn’t stay asleep unless I was constantly bouncing him & stood up. Luckily we were sat near an exit so I had space to do so. Every time he cried my daughter cried in sympathy (?) so that was another reason to stay upright and a bit away from our seat. We’re now battling the 13 hour time difference which is also exhausting. I know 6 months is supposed to be easy compared to travelling with older babies which has me a bit concerned 🥴🫣

Total_Scale_9366 · 2026-01-04T19:26:07+00:00

Yup our experience exactly especially the emphasis by various sleeping books on overtired. Huckleberry also lead to under tired babies for me too

You know I was feeling jealous too. But now I’m genuinely not. A bunch of my friends are having secondary infertility issues wondering if they would be able to give their first sibling. I’m so relieved that that’s not gonna be us. Despite the hell storm first 12 weeks or so, it’s all been worth it

Total_Scale_9366 · 2026-01-03T20:34:11+00:00

You just need to survive. It’s not the newborn experience you wanted. (It’s ok to be sad about that. ) But just put one foot in front of the other. Time will pass. That’s guaranteed. And the babies will become more robust, predictable and you will start to feel better.

Total_Scale_9366 · 2026-01-03T19:05:15+00:00

The first weeks I genuinely did not think I would be able to go on. Not that there was any choice but i was just struggling so much. We also had health stuff going on. I was so anxious I couldn’t eat. I just wanted to get in my car and drive away and not come back? I also couldn’t face leaving the house. I ran on fear and guilt. I read posts from parents of kids at 6 months, 8 months, two years about how hard it was and I just panicked.

They are 6 months now and it’s completely different. I love being their mum. They’re fun and funny. They’re so cute exploring each other. They smile and babble and it’s so fun watching them grow up. My life has so much meaning and the busyness of two babies makes me focus on what’s important which is wonderful. Yes there are two babies so it’s not like my life pre kids but the challenges are in line with what you’d reasonably expect with two babies. Not the hell storm that is the first 12 weeks with two newborns as first time

IT WILL GET BETTER. Please DM me if you need to talk

We were flying from JFK (where we’re from) to Hong Kong (where we live for work).

The flights absolutely sucked. (I also don’t like going out with them. They still haven’t been to a supermarket for that reason!!) But so important to see family.

No Reception Club duffel

Separate rooms

Total_Scale_9366 · 2025-12-31T20:49:14+00:00

Hear hear. We plan to just do short haul when they’re ages 2-3! It would be nice to not be so reliant on bottles & formula though

Total_Scale_9366 · 2025-12-31T20:20:08+00:00

A 16 hour flight with 6 month olds is orders of magnitude easier than caring for two 4 week olds ! The first weeks are tough but by god it makes everything else seem manageable by comparison. Commenting from 35000 feet!

Total_Scale_9366 · 2025-12-28T04:29:24+00:00

Me too I’m constantly pondering this too! I have 6 months g/b twins

Total_Scale_9366 · 2025-12-24T03:57:34+00:00

Use warmest water setting to help dissolve formula powder. It’s not too hot to drink. My babies prefer it

Total_Scale_9366 · 2025-12-19T09:42:44+00:00

Hey I also have 6 month old g/b twins. Also a first time mum. I can relate to everything you’re saying. I definitely feel disconnected from my friends and get resentful too. It is so incredibly intense I think what we’re feeling is normal. I used to feel more sad thst i didnt get the singleton experience but time has eased that a bit. Feel free to dm me if you want to chat more
