I'm 27 weeks with fraternal twin girls – also from ivf! I'm getting nervous about breastfeeding/pumping and taking care of 2 babies in general. My doctor has already told me to take things easy (no cleaning/vacuuming and get lots of rest.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twins#post-4000 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 14:22:04 +0000 PitBulLover 4000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations!!

That is wonderful. Try and get as much rest as you can and when you are ready, one of those maternity belts. I have heard they are really helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twins#post-3905 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 10:34:19 +0000 tequiero21 3905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandsandmore - thanks! will do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twins#post-3887 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 09:51:56 +0000 sandsandmore 3887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats! Celebrate each week. My pregnancy was uber complicated, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twins#post-3881 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 09:49:20 +0000 tequiero21 3881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have fraternal twins - from ivf. i know... each week is a milestone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twins#post-3875 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 09:45:29 +0000 sandsandmore 3875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What type of twins do you have? Twin pregnancies are inherently more risky, but plenty of people have no complications. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twins#post-3486 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 10:36:10 +0000 tequiero21 3486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jos1e267 - oooh nice! i absolutely love identical twins! especially if they look exactly alike! i always thought identical shared the same sac - learn something new everyday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twins#post-3445 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 23:03:19 +0000 j0s1e267 3445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tequiero21, yay to 14weeks for you! Mo/di mean monochoronic/diamniotic i.e. they share the same placenta but are each in their own sacs. So they can only be same sex and are identical :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twins#post-3299 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 14:46:16 +0000 tequiero21 3299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jos1e267 - what are mo/di twins? congrats! you're getting close! yeah, i'll be so excited to finally reach 20 weeks. (i'm 14 weeks today). i feel like i've been pregnant forever and time is going by so slowly, but i know i'm supposed to appreciate this time before the twins bombard me with all their cries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twins#post-3177 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 01:58:35 +0000 j0s1e267 3177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 30 weeks along with mo/di twins. This is my 2nd pregnancy, DD is 28 months old. In general, I was tired all the time during my 1st trimester. Energy came back in the 2nd and is now winding down again. Pregnancy symptoms are accelerated! So you may feel the aches and heartburn etc sooner. Depending on your health/medical condition, you may be asked to take it easy or go on as per normal. If you are working, be prepared to go on bedrest at 28 weeks. Twins are known to arrive sooner so keep a close eye for pre-term labor and everyday is a milestone :). I'm very happy to have made it this far and hope to keep them growing inside for at least another 4 weeks. Ggod luck &amp; take care! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twins#post-824 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 16:13:16 +0000 tequiero21 824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink - thanks, i definitely know i want to get some help from somewhere, whether it be my parents, my MIL or just hire someone. </p> <p>@maisymay - that's what i want - our twins to have a really close relationship. i think i've watched too many tv shows where the twins always know when the other is in trouble or can read each other's minds or something. i've always wanted identical but i guess fraternal is good to so i can tell them apart. ;D</p> <p>i think i'm really worried about breastfeeding, # of things i have to get to support 2 babies, etc. and i hope i don't have 2 extremely active babies. ack! my husband hopes they're both boys and we get them only 1 present for bdays and christmas and they could share. ugh@ my husband. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twins#post-800 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 15:07:21 +0000 MaisyMay 800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21 - Hubs and I each have twin sisters. I am very much not close to my sister. She is incredibly immature and lives a life of poor decisions. She is very negative and lives to make my mom's life difficult. My husband's sister is better than my sister, but has a pretty messed up life. She's finally getting it all straightened out. We love our sisters, but find that sometimes distance is a good thing. </p> <p>That being said, he and his sister were super close growing up. She was definitely his protector and biggest fan up through high school when they started doing their own things. I know some twins who have had an amazing relationship, and your probably will too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twins#post-798 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 14:58:25 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, congrats on the twins. I have no advice but maybe rest (which clearly you are doing) I think also you will need to accept outside help. Wanting to control everything once they arrive will be hard and draining. Accepting help will definitely make things a little easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twins#post-739 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 14:09:28 +0000 tequiero21 739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah, pregnancy has made me extremely tired. i literally lay in bed about an hour after i wake up cuz i just enjoy being in bed. haha. </p> <p>must have been so cool to have a twin. and for you AND the hubs to be twins, that's so awesome. do you guys have same sex twins or opposite sex twins? we're still too early to find out the sex of our babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twins#post-692 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 12:14:06 +0000 MaisyMay 692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get a lot of rest now?<br /> Sorry for being flippant, twins are one of the things that hubs and I talk about a lot since we're both twins, and when we TTC again, we're excited about the possibility (and a little scared too). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/twins#post-601 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 19:48:42 +0000 tequiero21 601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>still early in pregnancy but i'm expecting twins. anything i should do in particular to prepare for twins? </p>
