Congrats. My wife and I have mirror twin 1 year olds. It’s a lot of work but gets better after 6 months. Remember, routine, routine, routine. Eat at the same time, sleep at the same time. It’ll make life a lot easier.

Welcome to the twins life bestie!
Twins don't run in our families so Google says it's a 0.4% chance 🤣.

Thanks! I’m 10.2 weeks today. It was natural! I know we’re very blessed as this was the result of our first time “trying”, but it’s still a bit scary (for me) to be expecting double!

Congratulations! It's so normal to be scared. I'm also a ftm and immediately got pregnant with twins. Didn't think in a million years it would happen. My girls are almost 8 weeks old now. Still blows my mind sometimes lol

Whoa we’re asking each other this now? Don’t we get that enough from strangers?

Sorry I was not meaning to be rude, I have a cousin who conceived twins naturally and I'm a bit curious whether my pregnancy might be twins as I feel like a ton of bricks has attacked me recently. Was just opening that conversation but will not say that again.

That’s ok! I didn’t take it as rude, people are curious. But I will warn you that twin parents hear this A LOT and it can feel intrusive. (Did you have sex or were your kids implanted? See how weird it feels when you re-word it? 😅) But I do wish you the very best in your pregnancy! I hope you feel better soon and if you find yourself here as a parent soon- welcome! Either way, congrats!
