Mummy of 5 - oh sweetie, I am so sorry for your pain, and your fear. But they are totally normal!

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Hopefully coming here helps with some of your anxieties. It's good news that your twins are non identical - from a pregnancy point of view - hopefully they are also di chorionic di amniotic - or dcda - which means they each have their own amniotic sac and placenta. I remember there are more aches and twinges with a twin pregnancy and more fatigue, and more appetite ( I ate the house out of food I reckon) and more chance of spotting. But honestly if you are really worried, it is your absolute perogative to call your Dr. Don't be shy about it. if you need to call, call.

Rest up as much as you can. Bed rest can be pretty hard, so know that someone is usually lurking in here and will respond to you. You're not alone.

Each of us has to find a way to deal with the fears and anxieties. I am not saying that right now this strategy will work for you or even whether you should try it.

Mine is, every day, I try to remember that I am blessed with a pregnancy, and that this moment, this day, there is hope that it will work out. I put my hand gently on where I think my baby is, and give my baby every ounce of love that I can muster. I still get scared. I still feel sorry for myself. I still grieve my 3 precious little ones. But right now I have a gift, and I think it would be sad to think when I look back on this time, that I didn't "enjoy" the time I have with this bub in this pregnancy, irrespective of how long I have.

Have you got some good DVD's and books or craft to keep you occupied?

If you don't mind me asking, did you name your girls? If you're up to sharing I just love knowing our precious little ones by name. For me its important, but I understand if you are not up to sharing.

Take care, and good luck with getting yourself in the right head space. Hmmm, it doesn't have to be "right" just one that works for you? There is no right or wrong in this journey.
