I'm SO NERVOUS about this. I had my first ultrasound yesterday, because we were so scared something was wrong. It was a va___al ultrasound, not topical. And what do ya know...not one sac, but 2! I don't think I can handle this. It's quite overwhelming. I'm scared I'll love one more than the other, and if they're mixed gender, I'll always want to hold the little girl more than the boy...Are there any support groups for women carrying twins? any of you ladies carrying twins please share your reaction of when you found out. I was so angry I cried. I was actually a mixture of emotions. At first angry, then depressed, then I was ok with it, then back to depressed, then selfish thoughts

just take it easy... You just found out you are having twins its ok to have the feelings you are having. Don't worry when those two wonderful babies get here you will not want anyone to touch them boy or girl. At the moment they are just something in your body, but once you hold them and feel them and know they came from you nothing else will matter.

hi there!! First of all congrats on not one..but two!! I know how you are feeling. I was mad too!!! I am currently 8 weeks 2 days with twins. I am not married...not even in a commited relationship...but yeah, got pregnant. When i found out there were two it was such a shock....not only am i going to be a single mom...but 2!!! BUT...the first time i saw their little heartbeatS...I cried. Now at every u/s I worry that one will be smaller and not make it...their heartbeats wont show...crazy stuff!! I rub my little belly every night and talk to them...I know they cant hear me...its MY therapy :) As for loving one more....all parents worry about that when they have a 2nd child. Its okay. Try starting the bonding now...talk to them...wont help them...but it will help you. GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATS!!!!

yeah I was totally shocked to find out I was pregnant with twins and I am married! Now even tho I've accepted it I am scared to death...already love these little ones to death and worry constantly that something is going to go horribly wrong but at the same time I don't know how we're going to do it...just the finances alone is gonna kill us! but i'm a strong believer that you get the strength you need to handle the stuff life gives ya when the time comes that you need it....don't worry about the selfish thoughts.....it's normal!

Congrats on your twins! My sister and brother are twins, and my mom said she was pretty overwhelmed when she found out. Of course, she didn't find out officially until 3 weeks before she had them! They didn't have ultrasounds back then. I'm sure it's normal to be nervous and think selfish thoughts. Maybe remembering that there are lots of women out there who would love to be in your position may help you get out of your rut. I have a friend who just had her 4th miscarriage, and she's 40 years old, so she's having to accept the fact that she'll likely never be able to carry a child. I know she would love to have twins! Maybe thinking of things that way will help.... Good luck with everything.
