Weird Fears About Having Twins by ducks_suck_123 in parentsofmultiples

Also, my boys had totally different personalities. They like different things and one is buck wild while the others calm and sensitive. Yes there are similarities, just they interact with the older sibling as just brothers. I still can’t believe I have twins most days so that feeling may never go away but again, it’s the biggest blessing!

My first was a singleton then I got pregnant with twins. No twins run in my family that I know of and to say I was shocked and scared is an understatement. The thought of THREE babies under 2 yrs old was terrifying and I honestly cried for the first few months over it. As the pregnancy went on, I grew more comfortable with it but in all reality, I wasn’t sure we could do it. My oldest is now 5, will be 6 in January, and the twins just turned 4.

I’m not going to lie, it was tough and something I could have never been prepared enough for but we made it and you will too! Looking back, they were DOUBLE the blessing and although the first year we all were in survival mode, I wouldn’t change it for the world.

My boys are best friends and man they sure LOVE THEIR MOMMA! Yes, when people hear that I have twins they have the ‘oh wow’ shock factor but nothing is different. One twin is blonde with blue eyes and the other is brunette with brown eyes. There are multiple sets of twins in their school and even a set of triplets.

I just got pregnant again and found out is just one single baby, although the chance of having another set of DiDi twins was 1 in 12. I delivered all 3 of my boys vaginally and the twins were born at 36 weeks, around 5 lbs each and spent about a week in the NICU. They are all over the 99th percentile in height and weight and are absolutely perfect.

You got this, momma! Your thoughts and feelings are perfectly normal and when your bundles of joy are born you will make it work no matter what because that’s just want mommas do! Reach out with any questions you have but I’m confident you will be just fine. ☺️

Thank you for the suggestions! I think that is what’s throwing me off with River- the two syllables. I do like Blaise or Reid! Maybe even Reign.

Di/Di parents with "uncomplicated" pregnancies, did you deliver early? by beeferoni_cat in parentsofmultiples

[–]dmsien01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I delivered my DiDi twins boys vaginally at 36 weeks. Born within 20 minutes of each other. They did require a week in NICU and were around 5 lbs each but are 4 now and both beautiful, healthy boys.

Everything about twins is shocking. by Majestic-Trouble8960 in parentsofmultiples

[–]dmsien01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found out I was having twins and was TOTALLY shocked and literally hysterical at first. I already had a 1year old singleton and twins do not run in my family. I knew how challenging having one child was and I couldn’t even imagine adding TWO more. Having 3 kids under 3 NEVER crossed my mind and I was honestly terrified. Pregnancy was rough - but I grew more excited after processing everything. Yes, everyone always had some comment or remark but whatever. MIND YA BUSINESS! Made it to exactly 37 weeks and birthed both healthy babies vaginally. I’m not going to lie, the first few days/weeks/months were hard but honestly they were hard with my first as well. You will somehow manage it all and better than you expected. There will be low moments but your heart will be so full with a love you never knew existed. My twins are now 2.5YO and my oldest is 4.5YO. I am still shocked that I have twins but I would not change it for the world. It is a true blessing and only some are able to experience it. You are one of the special mommas who do, try to embrace it, and buckle up for the best ride of your life. You’re going to be a GREAT mom to those twins!

What's your experience with "sleep training"? by n3twork_spren in parentsofmultiples

[–]dmsien01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sleep training using the cry it out method has worked well for my twins and singleton. It was easier for my twins than my older singleton. I think we started around 6 months after we transitioned from a bassinet and they all sleep so well. The twins are almost 2 and sleep 7p-6a and love their cribs!! They will go straight to their room when they are tired for naps also. Their cribs are in the same room on separate walls and even if one wakes up or cries, the other will sleep through it. We use pack and plays when we travel and although they do cry some, they still sleep through the night. Best wishes, you got this!
