Hey! Same here. FTM. No twins in my family (that I know of, my mom was adopted.) I was also pretty worried when I found out I was having twins. But the truth is, you just power through the pregnancy. I’d recommend a pregnancy band to help your back. Drink an INSANE amount of water. When I was at the end of my pregnancy I was getting Braxton hicks all the time if I didn’t drink at least a gallon of water a day. If you’re having morning sickness, try these https://a.co/d/01ZLFfUH. If you can’t find an over the counter solution, let your OB know and get Zofran. Start taking stool softeners in the second trimester EVERYDAY. Trust me. Don’t buy a shit ton of pregnancy clothes, a lot of them are ugly for one and I ended up feeling more comfortable in my own clothes. Prioritize stretching. Sleep as much as you need, do not feel bad sleeping till 11 AM. You’re growing TWO babies. It takes a shit ton of energy. Lastly, people are going to comment on your belly. People are going to say the same few things over and over again. “Are you sure there’s only one in there?!” “Oh TWINS! Wow you’ll have your hands full.” “Buy one get one free!” “One and done, huh?” “Do you have twins in your family?” “Are they natural?” It’s repetitive and sometimes rude. But do your best to roll with the punches. When you are closer to the end of your pregnancy, your OB will give you options on what delivery is recommended. Also a side note, because babies in general are expensive, look on FB marketplace for baby things. Bonus if it works for twins. You are loved. You are going to do great. Take care of yourself.
