Questions for Irish twins mamas!

JS 🇬🇧

So I’m pregnant 4 months postpartum and have lots of questions for any mamas who have been through this before! I would really appreciate your help 😌.

1) Did you notice a bump sooner than you did with your first pregnancy? My tummy still looks a bit ‘poochy’ since giving birth anyway so wondering if it will come quicker!

2) were your pregnancy symptoms the same as other pregnancies? Wondering whether because it’s straight after and were used to pregnancy then the hcg hormone may not affect us as much? As I don’t feel sick or anything (yet)

3) were you monitored as a high risk pregnancy with the hospital? Did this affect birth at all? I’d hate to have to birth in the high risk unit instead of midwifery led.

4) how was birth the second time/recovery? I tore 2nd degree first time and would love to avoid if possible.

5) please tell me it’s going to be possible to lose baby weight x2. I’m already a stone heavier than before my first pregnancy and was in the middle of losing it!!

6) did you have any of the risks associated with having babies so close together? E.g. premature birth/placental abruption/low birth weight

7) lastly how were those first few months having 2 kids? Any tips?

8) was it hard being pregnant and looking after a small baby?

9) did you feel like pregnancy took it out of you more than baby #1?

10) I’m so scared of miscarriage! I’m not sure if the rates are higher when you have just given birth? I can’t find anything online.

11) what are your babies like now? Close/best friends?

I know that’s a lot but id be sooooo grateful for your help!! Thanks 🙌🏻
