When does the fear fade?

Question

Found out a couple of weeks ago that we are expecting twins. I'm completely overwhelmed with the fear of having twins. Thoughts I keep having are can my body handle 2 babies when I had complications with my singletons during birth and post partum? Will we ever get sleep again once they come? What if nobody wants to help when they're born? It'll just be me, the twins, and my 2 year old at home all day after 2 weeks, I'm not so sure I can handle that alone. I'm freaking out. Do these feelings of doom go away before they're born or am I really going to spend the next 6 or so months completely freaked out?

Answer

The doom feel does ease a little :) when I had my twins I had a 3, 2, and 1 year old. It was crazy busy but the crazy calmed after a few weeks. I kept my twins on the same schedule at night. When one woke I immediately woke the other so I wasn't up every 30 mins. It worked great. I don't look back on their first few months as a horrible time. I loved it :) Baby #6 was born two weeks ago and my twins are now 22 months.  They are awesome. They are totally little best friends. 
As for the 2 year old, I would pull out baby items early so they are used to seeing it and have already played with it before you attempt to put babies in them. I also bought a new baby doll for my littles when the twins arrived so they had someone to care for. I even did it for my son.

Answer

I bought a Doppler for $45 at 9 weeks and used it every other night..it put my mind at ease completely after my 4 losses. Good luck💗
