I'm 100% behind you on this one. I would cry myself into a stupor for a solid 8 months at the thought of popping out twins and having a 16 month old at the same time. I'm sure someone out there has 3 under 2. That someone is a better woman than I am.
A girl on my BMB was due with twins May15 but had them early and was already pregnant again by May, I think she will have 3 under 1.

Omg. No words. I hope all turns out well for her but that just sounds awful for so many reasons. That has to be hard on your body getting pregnant so soon after giving birth too.
I'm hoping for twins, because it is probably the only earthly way I'll ever get to have 3 kids. There has never been twins in family in the history of ever, so it's not looking good.
If I have twins, I will completely lose my shit! There better only be 1 kid in me, and he/she will be the last one. I remember how overwhelmingly hard having 1 kid was for me that I can't imagine having twins and a toddler.
I nanny twins and it is pretty fricking awful. I mean, if they are your first pregnancy and you don't have anything to compare it to, then I think that it would be easier. But if you have the ability to compare it to a singleton, completely different.

I wonder what her doctor through thought of that? Her poor body! I have had two friends have a singleton, and then get pregnant with twins because they both suck at common reproduction sense ("I didn't know I could get pregnant will breastfeeding!", and "It took so long to get pregnant with the first one, we didn't think that it would happen!" ::eye-roll: and they both had three under the age of two. Neither one of them wanted more than one, they both wanted to be one and done. They are both hating life right about now, and one set of twins are already 5, and the other set are 18mo.

I now feel GREAT about having a 6 year old, 4 year old and twins. In all serious though, I think my kids are old enough to help some. I'm not sure that 3 under 2 would work for my sanity.

By those ages your kids are at the very least more independent and usually out of diapers as well so I don't think it will be that bad. I think that the important thing (and what will be hard for every STM or more) is making time for everyone. You will work it out and each of your babies will be loved, happy, and healthy and that is what is important.
I guess this is a Saturday confession but I remember a time when twins would have scared the shit out of me. I remember fearing the thought of twins so much because the plan was only to have one more. Then I had 3 losses and 2 years of IF treatments and by the end of that I didn't give a crap if I had one or two in there. I just wanted a baby so freaking bad it didn't matter. I knew that if it happened we would find a way to work it out.
Another confession: I had French fries for dinner again last night... They are the only thing that sound good!
PgAL is bad for me. Right now I'm thinking we may end up one and done. Guess we will see how I feel after Pumpkin is born.
PgAL is really hard. Hugs lady!
2IF has put an end to expanding our family. Either this pregnancy works out or not, but either way we're done. We have frosties but I can't go through the emotional and physical roller coaster of it all again.

I got so crazy with the PGAL brain yesterday that I went in for an even earlier ultrasound just to make sure there was something in there. I have also been cramping some but they saw 2 cysts on my ovaries so they think that is the cause. Sending you (((hugs))) friend.

2. I haven't cleaned dishes in our house since Wednesday. Because the thought of being in the kitchen makes me want to puke.
I hear you on the thought of being in the kitchen making you want to puke. First trimester is when I regret having an open plan on our main floor. I just want to shut a door on the sights and smells of my kitchen.

I feel like having older kids vs 2u2 is such a different story. You got this.

You can do it! I would have been happy with twins this time.

Hope my anti-twins comment wasn't too bitchy. If twins happen, they happen. I would deal - it's just certainly not something I'm hoping for. I personally did not enjoy the newborn phase and adapting to being a mom was hard so I wouldn't want to do that times 2. But I'm sure you will adapt and will be an amazing mom to all 4 of your kids!

Oh I wasn't offended. And at times the thought of two babies terrifies me, but we will adapt and it will be our new normal.

So another confession, I sometimes check in/lurk over on TB because it is so very entertaining...
There is a woman on the July16 BMB who claims she has almost 9 month old twins and now is pregnant with twins again. If she isn't a troll, that is 4u2.
I give props to everyone having multiples. I just know my limitations and having a 22 month old and a new born at the same time is one of mine.

Some people want twins, but I'm not one of them. The newborn stage was REALLY hard for me (PPD didn't help) I just can't even imagine doing it with two. I'm honestly scared to do it again with just one.
Number One: Born 06.16.2009 BFP: 01.17.2014 / MC 02.05.2014 BFP: 03.08.2014 / MMC: 05.07.2014 Dx: Partial Molar/GTD. Benched until 01.2015 Number Two: Born 07.22.2016

I'm so guilty of doing this with my old BMB. I may cackle maniacally while I read some of the dumb. I can't post unless I make a new account though because I got banned. Apparently, it is frowned upon to tell pregnant women to not seek medical advice from strangers on the Internet.
Also, I just said 4u2 to MH and he looked about ready to vomit. I can't even imagine.

I think that you will be fine, like previous posters mentioned, your kids are older. PLUS, there are two of them, so they can keep each other entertained while you are dealing with the twins.
