 Re: Need advice from those who have had/are having multiples :)
Congrats on twins!! I am also pregnant with twins, two boys. I'm 23 weeks right now and I found out at 9 weeks. What a shocker that was! So far I am doing well. The boys are getting so big and so am I! I was pretty sick until 17-18 weeks, then it slowly started getting better. I had/have a lot of food aversions and that is SLOWLY getting better as well. I might actually attempt to eat chicken today - scary! I live on fruit, yogurt, carnation instant breakfast, and chocolate milkshakes! Food wise, it's getting a lot better. I eat all the time and am so hungry now! I even have a middle of the night snack most nights because I wake up hungry. Sleeping is becoming a challenge because my boys are both breech and have decided that my ribs are good places for their heads when I lay down at night. Ouch! I am still working full-time but I'm hoping the doctor will take me out soon. I'm just too exhausted to continue.
I recommend checking out BabyCenter and their multiples board. I read that a lot and also my birth board has a lot of twin moms on it that chat. Also, the TWINS magazine bulletin boards are really good too. If you're wanting to breast feed, I've really enjoyed reading the multiples book by La Leche. I got it off Amazon and it is amazing. I feel like I need to read it 5 more times before they get here!
OK, enough of my book. Congrats and enjoy being pregnant. I'm loving it!
-One more thing. (Sorry!) I see a chiropractor that has a lot of experience with pregnant women ans it has been a lifesaver in my comfort level throughout the pregnancy. I HIGHLY recommend trying to find one! I call mine my miracle worker! |
