I know for sure how everyone feels here i am 24 years old i have a 4 year old daughter almost 3 year old daughter and a 6 month old daughter and i am 4 months pregnant with TWINS!!!... Telling family wasn't easy but you know either way the are going to know!! As soon as you get that part over with you will feel at lot more at ease!!! It's a lot but i don't feel like it is a burden i feel like its a blessing and your family should too. i was on gildess BC and somewhere along the way a miracle happened :)

my twins are 9 months i just found out I'm pregnant again. I am so scared of having twins again. How to break it to my family. They are not so easy going. More judgmental. That i feel like i don't want to tell them.

I said the same thing, and you gotta do what ya gotta do. You will find it deep, I mean real deep down in your being. It will be hard, and there will be bad days but, it is all worth it when they look up at you and smile, my twins are almost 2 and my baby is almost 6mos. Good Luck!!!

I think everything will be fine. My twins just turned one, and I couldnt imagine having another one- ever, but I didnt know how i would take care of twins and i found a way, so your next one will just fit into the schedule. I know someone who had 2 singletons after twins, and she said having one baby after twins seems like a piece of cake because your used to doing everything twice as hard.

When my twins were 6 months old when I realised I was pregnant again my first worry was would I be able to love this one as much as I loved my twins but as soon as she was born I realised your heart grows with each child and when it comes to careing for them all, I set my self targets I would tidy one room in case of visitor and the rest of the house went to pot, thats what doors are for ! hiding the mess! spending time with your kids is more important and if your husband doesn't like it well leave the vacuum where he can find it!

When I found out I was having twins I had a four year old daughter and a eight month old son. I was shocked and I did not know how I was going to do it. When they were born my son was 14 months old so I had four kids under the age of five. You will be amazed at what you can do, you just make it work. It will be hard at first but since you had twins first and if this is a single baby you will be great. You survied two at once so you can do it. Good luck and get as much rest as you can.

I understand! I have almost 11 month old twins and am 23 weeks pregnant. I cried and freeked out when I found out I was pregnant again. I am excited about having another baby now, but don't know how I am going to take care of 3 under two when the third one is here. I take care of our twin boy and girl with a little help from my family in the evening. I have two step sons and my husband works 10 to 12 hour days and then usually has to go to some activity for his boys. So it is one of those things that I am realizing I am going to have to do mostly on my own. I would love more help and take it when I get it. I love my babies and hope that our newest and the twins will all get the love and attention they need.

You'll get through it. Perhaps getting more help from the husband on some stuff would do the trick. Like make the dishes his responsibility or something. I'm prepared to be busy myself, but my husband is great and we're lucky to have close family that can lend a hand here and there when we need it.

Our twins will be a year old at the end of May and we're expecting their baby brother or sister at the end of June. I'm just happy it's one this time around!

If it helps I had my twin boys when my daughter was only 21 months old. She just turned onw when I got prego with my twin boys. It's hard but you'll do fine. Just take a lot of deep breaths and make him help you.

I had 22 month old twins when I had another baby, at first it was hectic but after having twins one is so much easier. You just take one day at a time, eventually the two year olds will want to help all the time. Now at 4 and 3 they always take care of each other as if they were triplets.

you would be shocked at how many people are in your same situation!!! I have twins and a single, they are 22 months apart, but I have run into A LOT of people that have another within a year!! you are not alone, you can do it. You will find that a single after twins is a piece of cake!!

I'm 20 weeks preggers with my twins and I have an 18 month old and a 30 month old... I remember having a 5 month old and finding out I was 8 weeks preggers! I just accepted that it was meant to be, and went on with life. You'll be busy, but you'll get through it. Good Luck!
