Pregnant...with twins!!!

[Angela512]

I already have 3 kids...8, 3 1/2, and 2. I have no clue how I am going to handle newborn twins.

Where is a good place to get more information about baby-wearing twins? Also, is there good information out there about helping older siblings transition to twins...and helping mom get used to having twins with older siblings?

I feel so overwhelmed already...I'm starting to get excited, though, but still feeling overwhelmed.

Any advice, links, etc. would be greatly appreciated!!

I don't have twins, but wanted to say congratulations! And yes, that sounds like a full plate. Hang in there, mama!

Twins are amazing/exhausting, a lot of work and so much fun. No advice for transitioning the older kids since my twins were my first, but you may want to start looking for a Moms of Multiples group in your area. I was hesitant at first to join mine, but I'm so glad I did. It's been a great source of support and advise from mamas who have "been there, done that". (and they totally stocked my freezer with food in the weeks before my twins were born)

As far as wearing twins, I loved the Moby wrap with a twin front carry when they were newborns (not sure if there is a special name for it, but googling moby wrap/ twins will probably bring it up for you, there are also videos on youtube showing how to wrap twins in a moby)

Goodluck! Honestly the first 3 months were a blur but we all survived!

I already have a Moby, so that is good!

Thanks! I will look to see if there is a Moms of Multiples group here (I think there is? I remember something about a yearly sale??).

Have you asked this in the parenting multiples forum?

Congrats on the twins...my first were twins. It is exhausting at first, but after a few months it becomes more cool than exhausting. There's nothing like it!

I didn't even see there was a parenting multiples forum! LOL I will go post there, now! Thanks!!
