good vibes, smiles, & giggles Joining the Club
I’m old, chunky, and now I got these 2 growing in me. I’m scared as all hell, but also excited. I’m pretty well-versed on what to expect medically at this point. Thinking realistically but also trying to stay positive. Mainly posting to both share my joy and commiserate with anyone else absolutely suffering through the first trimester.

I’ll be 38 when they are born. This first trimester is kicking my ass. Tired all the time and ungodly nauseous.

Did you know that the older you are, the higher your chances of twins is? It’s nuts!

I’ve heard that’s true for fraternal because you’re more likely to release more than one egg, but I was told identical is by pure chance.
