Hey there...

Just need a vent/whinge really! I am already 23w PG with B/G Twins which we are soooo excited about but I just dont seem to be able to get anything set in concrete... with my previous 2 bubbas by this gestation we have names & nurseries & car seats & everything all good to go!

The one time I really SHOULD be organised, Im NOT! I cant decide on names or prams or car seats... I cant do any setting up for them as we are waiting on a shed to be built so we can move all our crap in to it & have a room for the Twins but that wont be done till I am 34w PG! By which time I will be tooo massive to do anything...

I feel like I am not being a good mummy to my 18mo as I find it hard to run after her & play with her as much as I was & I have put her in to day care for 2 days a week as I just need that time to myself & to do the book work for our business (especially with end of financial year upon us already)

The biggest thing is... I feel like I am running out of time quickly & just not getting any where!

Does this all sound stupid? Am I just being hormonal & a crazy pregnant woman???

All feedback & thoughts would be greatly appreciated... Thanks! Again sorry for the whinge...


PS On another note... I want to have the Twins in with us for the first few weeks/months like I did with DD! But ofcourse they will not fit in her bassinett! Would it be ok to have them in the portacot with the base lifted to bassinett level together for the first few weeks/months??? Or should I try & setup a proper cot in our room (which I seriously doubt would fit)??? Or maybe have two seperate bassinetts??? What did you all do????

all they need is somewhere to sleep and car seats. Don't worry..you can even set up nursery after they come home. It's not a big deal. It's a twins pg so ry not to worry too much and just relax.

The day care is good for your 18mth old. It's a fact that you will be extremely busy when the twins arrive so hopefully the day care will help with the transition of extra siblings too.

Don't worry too much. 11 weeks is actually quite a long time to go. I found from 30 weeks onwards..it went really slow.

I was also a bit laid back with the twins pg mainly because it was my 2nd pg so I just took my time. I took ages to buy things, instead waiting for when there's a big sale.

We had our two in our room sharing a cot until they were 8mths old. We didn't even have their room set up until they were 7mths old.

Day care is probably a good idea to. Being an only child, it will help her with her younger siblings on the way.

I had a pram & car seats before my two came & as they were a little early & spent time in SCN, I had time to get the rest organised.

If you don't want to buy 2 bassinets you can hire hospital style ones, either as single or double. We did this in the beginning as we lived in a 2 storey townhouse, started with a double one for the 2 but switched not long after as both were reflux bubs. They're really handy.

I agree, as long as you've got the basics, you can always send someone to the shops.

Good luck

LOL just breathe.......

You really do have a long way to go.

Ive not had twins but have a close friend who did. She had space issues as well and ended up using a Port-a-cot raised, it worked out fine, a great idea in fact.

If you think you're panicking, try being in my shoes. Ive still got things to do!!!

Don't sweat the small stuff! As PP said, as long as they have somewhere to sleep and you can get them home, they'll be fine! I've organised pretty much nothing for the triplets, but will worry about it once they arrive. I know they'll be clothed, fed and have somewhere to sleep once they're home. Babies really need a lot less than we buy for them anyway
