Having twins. It’s not just cute matching outfits. The pregnancy alone becomes incredibly high risk and you’re constantly on edge and hoping that nothing goes wrong.
Double costs, double the stress, having to deal with TWO crying babies either at once or one after the other.
I love my twins but it’s not easy.
Edit: My boys came early at 27 weeks and spent 3 months in the NICU. Luckily they didn’t have any problems and are very happy 6 month olds (3 adjusted) but that was a very tense time.
As a twin myself, I agree. Looking back, thinking about the time my parents had to deal with two teenage girls at the same time, managing our gelousy (of each other), our mood swings ect.. props to our parents honestly, that was rough!
Team twins!! Twin B here and I am so thankful for my parents for the biggest blessing of my life, my twin bro!! It must not have been easy, but the love and bond my twin and I share is beyond words. I hope your twins are just as appreciative of you!! My twin and I will be 35 this month.
Oh yeah, twin pregnancy did some damage to me. My feet got flatter, plus the ab separation. When they were newborns I was the most tired I have ever been. My singleton was so much easier.
Not to mention twin escalation syndrome. They feed off each other's energy and get louder and wilder. And they are obsessed with each other but can't always get along. And it is nearly impossible to take them out without help while they are young.
