I’m a young, 19, first time mom and I’m 18 weeks with identical (mo/di) girl twins and I’m SO thankful for all of your videos. They’ve all been so helpful, I come across a lot for twins that always just talk about the same things and yours have a different variety, so thankful!!
This hit home in a big way. Even though had one kid, very active one and hated sleeping...and I moved to a new place. Home delivery groceries is a gift from God!
Im 18 and pregnant with twins. The father refuses to stay around so I'm thankful for these tips as I begin to learn how to adapt as a single momma of two little ones.
@@amandagopinath6351 Have one heck of a support system now! I have a better guy willing to take care of the little ones with me! He's already treating them as his own and they haven't even been born. I couldn't be happier and more excited to start this new beautiful chapter in my life! 🥰
I'm almost 21 weeks with twins and it's my first pregnancy. I'm absolutely terrified and am watching your videos at 1:30AM. Thank you so much for your help and insight!
i’m 9 weeks pregnant with twins and my first pregnancy too, very scared too, i really hope you’re doing well and know that YOU GOT THIS! we got this and there’s a reason we have been blessed with this. good luck twin mama..: )
@@anherogirl thank you so much.... but I lost my baby girls on June 7th.. found out June 9th, and gave birth June 11th... they were Monochorionic twins, very rare and very risky.. I was 23 weeks, so about 2 weeks after I left that comment.. to say I'm okay would be a lie, I am still devastated, confused, and aching for my daughters... I was scared, but I was going to do it... I wish you nothing but the best in your pregnancy, and please cherish every second, even when it's hard. Being pregnant with twins for the first time and for only 6 months was so hard, but also so beautiful. I miss my precious girls every single day. My heart breaks without my babies... but I know I will feel this love again, and have a baby to take home one day... thank you again for your kind words.. may God continue to bless you and your family ❤😔
@@kentrig5171 I’m pregnant with twins rn, and it’s also my first pregnancy, I’m also incredibly horrified as well. About carrying, labor, appointments, the fear of making registry’s for showers, idk how to control this anxiety. I’m so sorry about your babies :(
I just had twins on August 28th. This is by far the hardest thing I've ever done. Do you have any words of encouragement or maybe an update on how things have gone for you?
Hi there. Mine are 7 weeks old and I have a 5 year old. At least she goes to kindergarten 5 days a week which is helpful. But i am alone with the twins all day as my husband is back at work. Are you on some sort of schedule? I often feel overwhelmed and like Im not doing a good enough job. I am currently posted up in the living room with their bassinets...hoping we can transition somehow to their bedroom.
@lovebug8482 It's chaos mostly. We weren't planning on twins and our place is small. The 2 year old is loud, and if they're not waking each other up, she's doing it. My 13 yo son has the downstairs room, my toddler the upstairs bedroom, the babies sleep in bassinets in our room, or a boppy/swing. They did sleep through the night for the first time last night, maybe things are looking up! Good luck, I know it's incredibly tough, especially by yourself. Don't feel bad to walk away for a few if you need to.
Hahaha I can so relate! 😂 TWIN MAMA HERE! Twins were my first kids too - I 100% agree about joining twin mom groups! The one I joined even connects me to other twin moms with babies the same age as mine!! 😍😍 (Colorado!)
As a future new dad to twins I watched this for help with my wife and thank you so much for the tip of podcasts. I have learned an insane amount of stuff on twins from that while I'm at work. Stuff that even my wife didn't think of or didn't know, because I mean who really ever expects twins at first? 😆
I think you had some fabulous points here. I would caviot that FB mom groups can be cruel, so please don't take things personal (way easier said than done). I watched someone asking about feed schedule rather than feed on demand/cluster feed get torn to shreds pretty much getting told she was awful for "putting the babies on a diet", "putting them in danger", etc. I love love love that you did the schedule and you are proof it totally works! You are awesome! Oh and my entertainment (2 month old twins) has been Hallmark videos.... :) We are doing "The Newborn Sleep Book". Just waiting for the bought of flu to go away and us to comfortably be back on comfortably eating every 4 hours before testing to see if their bodies are producing melatonin yet (usually happens around 8 weeks but unfortunately we have preemies so things have been about 2 to 4 weeks behind). Say a prayer for us please
I guess in India this is a big relief that parents live either with us or nearby if they are retired. I am relying on my mom who lives next door and my MIL who is coming for 3 months. Also, house help, part time nanny etc are really cheap and normal to have in cities. Groceries and food can be delivered in as less as 15 minutes online. There is a grocery store every 10 steps so easy to pick emergency stuff anyways 😁😁
I would totally make a video on that if I felt like I had the right answer for it. I was pretty behind the ball on getting my twins on a schedule and while we eventually fell into it, I don't have an exact method to lay out cause it was a series of trial and error lol! I talked about it a little in my last Q&A :)
Instacart has been my lifesaver 😍🥰 I paid for a year subscription so my delivery is free for now. I understand how this can be an extra expense with twins, but it has lifted a lot of the stress. My twin girls are 6.5 months and schedules are imperative! I love your channel. 😍
Just found out I’m having twins!!! :0 I’m so excited but my spouse is freaking out lol but I’m gonna do everything I can to make it easier for her thanks for the tips!!!!
Not having a schedule worked better for us but I had a singleton already who didn’t nap anymore even though she turned 2 right after the boys were born. No break for this momma.
I have 11 yr old twin daughters. My number how to keep your sanity, spend some alone time to calm your mind. Weather it's taking a walk/run or a bath. You need to always put some time aside for yourself. Without the other parent.
First time father here (late 30’s too) and trying to find helpful stuff for my wife and I. I’ll say this…absolutely NO one can relate to the insanity of twins. Any advice people offer (that never had twins)…throw it out the window. Because almost none of it applies. P.S. Husbands magically work long hours during this time for a reason :D
I just had twins on August 28th. And everyone around me is trying to be so helpful. I highly appreciate it, but it's hard for me to take them seriously because none of them dealt with having twins. Some advice obviously can transfer but definitely not everything.
You’re video came on my feed. Not sure why because my way babies.. but, I need to ask, what color and brand is your lipgloss. It’s so pretty. You should do a makeup video too (if time permits.)
Texas??? Omg please say Houston! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Just found out about my twinnies and have been hooked on your videos! First time momma, also with no family in Texas, so I’ll take all the tips I can get!! 💗
Anjulae not yet! Will find out the second week of December! My children think is a boy and a girl. My fiancé is hoping two boys. I really just want healthy happy babies. Can’t wait to know.
Mari Caz I find out Thursday my husband thinks two boys I think a boy and a girl isn’t so exciting tho... I have a boy and girl already so I’m really hoping for one of each
I’m not having children anytime soon but my mom reminds me her side of the family holds genes of having twins. I’m just watching these helpful videos just in case and just to learn what it like.
It’s a lot of work, but somehow we as moms always find a way to make it all happen! You will do great and my #1 advice as I mentioned in the video is connecting with other twin moms 💕 they will be amazing support
I’m Going to be a mom of twins @19 I am excited but more scared of how I will handle both of them at the same time family says they will help but you can’t always count on others
loved "telling your husband you're going to the store to get grocieries"!!!!....TOTALLY GET IT!!!! You gave me a good laugh! God bless you! You also are extremely charming and beautiful and a "natural" for U Tube.
I don't have Children or am I planning to get Pregnant anytime soon. But in all my Dreams where I somehow magically have a Pregnancy or Children, It's always Twins with a Girl and Boy.
Im guessing as a guy, i wouldn't be able to get into a twin mom group. The stay home dad group is helping and found some twin dad groups but im sure i would get more insight from mom groups
So I’m on my fourth pregnancy…….plot twist, twins. Baby4 and baby5🤯🤯 . Never in my wild dreams did I imagine this. We don’t even have twins in my fam or my husbands fam. So yea….plot twist. Thanks for this video. I so appreciate it.
I’ve been reading and watching videos about twins for the past few days... the one thing I’ve noticed is they never talk about their husbands like are y’all single mothers or does your husband do nothing?
I’m lucky that my husband is very present. However I think what seems to happen a lot with twins is the household becomes a single earning household. Two infants in daycare is very expensive and a lot of women become stay at home moms cause daycare would cost more than what they earn. So while the husband is working it does become just mom all day with the babies. And going from 2 incomes to one and doubling the people to support in the house (if twins are your first) a lot of Dads need to work harder and longer hours to earn more to support everyone. Hopefully this isn’t the case for you!! But I think most people live paycheck to paycheck and expecting one baby and getting double is a shock! 😅
Hello, I am pregnant with twins boys. And they say they are supposed to be born on the 28 of this month. However, from what I researched, they are born early. It is the 21st and they still in my belly. What does that mean?
@@MaiZimmy yes I did. had them 3 weeks late. My due date they gave me was on the 28th of this month. They came on the 23rd. I was supposed to be induced 31/2 weeks ago. did not want a C-section. They were past full term.
1 kid and breeze 2 .. brutal .. i have 13 month old twins .. i just went in the living room and i was like wtf did a grenade went off in here?? Brutal .. brutal ..
Pretty much what I’ve learn from watching these videos is if you have twins you’re royally fucked lol literally every twin video or article is just like “yeah it’s super hard you’ll never survive” lol
I came here as a man looking to fond genuine parenting tips and was disappointed to hear the husband relegated to a spare parent that needs to be tricked into giving mom some needed free time... 😬
I'm going to be a mom for the first time and found out at my 13th week ultrasound that I'm having two bundles of joy!
Congratulations! How sweet!
I have a few videos on my channel as a ftm to twins at 21 :)
Girl good luck the whole process was extremely hard from me to the pregnancy to now and they're 2
Me too am excited and scared at the same time
Congrats you are a twin mom lol hoes it going

How do you ladies have kids already? Put your babies on a schedule so they can get the sleep..
omg this is genius
I want to watch this video but this video have no close caption because I'm goin to be deaf mom of twin babies.
Just got one baby right now but the twin gene runs in the family so im prepping myself lol
1 kid and breeze 2 .. brutal .. i have 13 month old twins .. i just went in the living room and i was like wtf did a grenade went off in here?? Brutal .. brutal ..
Pretty much what I’ve learn from watching these videos is if you have twins you’re royally fucked lol literally every twin video or article is just like “yeah it’s super hard you’ll never survive” lol
Haha it is a lot more challenging the one baby. I think every twin parent knows that especially if they also have singletons. BUT, it is doable 😁😁
I'm so tired! Identical twin girls. Still can't believe it.. 😴
🥰🥰💯🥺
Just know it does not get easier.
Join twin mom groups whats the point lol if you got no time to be on Twitter or social media to even vent or see it since you so preoccupied.

😅😅😅
Your twins will lie to you, if they see you lying to their daddy...word for thought
It’s a joke lol
If your twins see you lying to their daddy… They will lie to you! Just words for thought!!!!!
Thank you. It was a joke. Obviously not a good one if people didn’t pick that up lol
