First time pregnant with twins

So this is my third pregnancy but my only one where I am carrying twins! I have never felt so drained in all my life I am nearly 6 weeks and honestly I don’t know how I am gonna cope surviving the first trimester! Has anyone got any tips on how to get through this?

I’m going to be honest, the first trimester for me was hell and I cried so often to my partner because I didn’t know how I would get through it, but somehow I did. I’m 22 weeks now, it’s still tough, but it has gotten slightly easier. Take it easy, ask for help and rest as much as you can xx

Everyone is different, but honestly my entire pregnancy I was exhausted and drained. I had no other symptoms but exhaustion, I slept 50% of my pregnancy. My advice would be listen to your body and if you’re drained, rest as much as you can.

The exhaustion lightened up in the 2nd trimester just by a tiny bit, and then came back 10 fold in the 3rd trimester 😅😅

Thank you guys, I was tired with my little girl but not on the level that I am with these little guys! Nor did I ever have sickness in my previous pregnancy’s but I pretty much redecorated the bathroom this morning! I am so happy to be having these symptoms in a weird way cause I know it’s all good, I lost a baby before conceiving these guys! But I underestimated how exhausting growing 2 babies would be

Omg I totally get that! I had 3 miscarriages before my twins with no living children, so evern the rough days were sooo good just to know I was still pregnant and feeling like shit 😅🩷

@Becca I haven’t nothing to compare it to and im incredibly grateful for the two of them, but my god the sickness. If it doesn’t get better and you can’t keep anything down make sure you get some help, I’m still on 2 antisickness meds after a 3 day trip to the hospital for fluids xx

@Kylee yeah exactly I am so grateful to be having the symptoms but omg I can’t wait for them to level out a bit and I feel a little less like a zombie🙈

@Lauren the sickness is awful isn’t it babs! I just had nausea in my last pregnancy but with these guys it’s been so server and then this morning I was throwing up everything! Oh bless you babs I hope your feeling better now xx

@Becca it really is lovely, fingers crossed it gets better for you with time ❤️ it’s more manageable but I can’t wait for them to be here now 😂 x

I was almost bedbound first trimester with my twin girlie's ahha

@Lauren thank you babs🩷 I can imagine you can’t wait for them to arrive it’s gonna be amazing! I can’t wait for mine either although 3 under 2 is gonna me chaos😂

@Amber I literally feel the same every time I put my little girl down for a nap you best believe I am crawling straight back into bed! I am ready for bed at like 7pm now🙈

It's definitely gonna be harder with another kid but absolutely sleep whenever you freakin can!! Your body is putting in WORK literally building two whole human beings at the same exact time, there will be no tips or tricks that will help your energy unfortunately. So give your body what it needs and rest rest rest mama 🫶🏻

I have a 2.5 year old an 8 months old and currently 20 weeks pregnant. Never been so exhausted in my life and I worked 3 jobs when I didn’t have kids 😂😂
