When I found out that I was carrying twins in November I began researching twin pregnancies and their increased chances of complications, preterm birth, etc. because I wanted to have realistic expectations for my pregnancy, especially since this is my first. Of course that research and reading stories of women on TB and other places was a huge reality check for me in terms of how different and complicated twin pregnancies can be. For some reason, despite trying to move on and focus on the fact that my pregnancy seems to be going okay and that my doctors are really proactive about any concerns they have with me, the stories and warnings about the "dangers" of twin pregnancy seem to have stuck in the back of my mind.
I have had several dreams about preterm labor/losing the babies since I found out that we're having twins-- most recently last night. I thought that I would maybe start to feel better as I approach the later stages of the second trimester, but I apparently don't. I wasn't thinking about preterm labor, or giving birth, or pregnancy complications at all the last few times I've had these dreams, so I don't think I can stop them. I'm just so emotionally exhausted by them-- sometimes I wake up crying, others I end up having anxiety and a pit in my stomach for the rest of the day.
Did anyone else go through this during their twin or other multiple pregnancy? Are you currently going through it? If not dreams, then anxiety? I know I probably can't stop the dreams and I'm focusing on staying positive during my waking hours but I would really just love to not have these anymore.
