GOOD EVENING JOE...

Quote From: twins2006

My wife and I recently found out that she is having twins. She is only 12 weeks along so we don't know much yet. I am super excited but nervous. This is our first pregnancy and i don't know what to expect. i was just wondering if my feelings are normal. I want her to be as comfortable as possible but I feel my feelings and thoughts are transferred to her . What can i do to help us be comfortable? 

  

Joe 

First off Congrulations on becoming pregnant with twins, Good on you and your Wife. 

 

It's lovely to see a hubby here that wants to know how he can make his wife's pregnancy a better one. Thats great I hope your wife knows just how much you love and care about her. 

 

I do have a 3 year old daughter and so my hubby and I know abit of what you and your wife are going through right now, mind you having twins is very different to just having one baby inside of you, I'm sure!! 

 

When I was pregnant my hubby Mark was wonderful through out the pregnancy. Mind you I had a High Risk Pregnancy due to me being Diabetic so that made life abit more interesting for us both.  

 

Being that this was our first pregnacy we didn't really know what to expect, so we just took things one day at a time. Thats all you both can do is to just go it a day at a time. Your wife is now over 3 months along and so she is now out of the most dangerous part of the pregnacy. So I hope that can be of some help to you both right now.  

 

Some things that will help you both is to get some good books to read on pregnacy and what you can look forward to in the coming months. I'm sure that there are books on expecting twins so make sure you get atleast one or two books so that you can both read up on what to expect.  

 

Find out from your Doctor if there are any other women who have had twins and see if it's possible to get in touch with them and talk about what their pregnancies were like. Sometimes it helps just to find out how other Mum's went with their twin pregnacies. 

 

And yes it's quite normal how you are feeling right now. This is a exciting but sometimes scary time right now and being first time Parents-to-be it can all become too much to cope with at times, believe me!! 

 

Also make sure you both talk to each other about your feelings. Always keep each other informed about what your feelings are.  

 

Please also know that you will make a great Dad and your wife will be a great Mum and from the moment those beautiful babies are born you'll both know what to do, it all just comes to you from inside your mind. 

 

My hubby had never had anything to do with a baby before our little girl came along and one day 3 weeks after she had been born he just came out with, "Before Stephanie, I had never changed a nappy or bathed a baby or fed a baby." Well you wouldn't have known it, he was a natural at it. 

 

So just take things one day at a time, you'll both be fine and so will those two little ones. 

 

TAKE CARE and Good Luck and keep in touch. LOVE KELLY.
