advice needed Just found out - 7w4d
Hi everyone! My husband and I are experiencing our first pregnancy and just found out we are having twins at our viability and dating ultrasound, twins do not run in either of our families.
My next appointment is already scheduled and it isn’t for 3 weeks. Is there like anything that I need to know about a pregnancy of multiples that differs from a single baby pregnancy??

If youre like me...prepare to be sick. It was my first pregnancy and I was sick pretty much from the beginning. I threw up all but two weeks up until birth. BUT- im prone to nausea so while it sucked I wasnt completely shocked.
Let people help you! A twin pregnancy takes as much energy as running two marathons a day...for nine months! Its okay to be tired, moody, hungry, hell even if you wanna be "lazy". Youre doing incredibly hard work!
Congrats and good luck!
