Hi, anyone who’s been in my shoes and experienced both, which was harder? I’m currently 21 weeks with di/di twins, working full time (hybrid remote and commute to office 50/50), with a very busy 2 year old. I’m beyond exhausted, already feel huge, and feel like I’m struggling through each day. Is this harder than having newborn twins with a toddler? 2 y.o will be starting full day preschool in September (same time the twins arrive), and I’m in Canada so my mat leave will be 18 months!

I just had my 20 week anatomy scan yesterday for my di/di fraternal boys. Both are doing great and are almost exactly the same size (87th percentile and only 4g difference between them!). But baby A’s heart rate was 151 and baby B’s was only 135. B has always been slightly lower than A but never quite that low. My oldest (now 2) always had a heart rate on the higher end same as baby A, and doctors always acted like having a HR that leans higher was a good thing and showed it was strong. So now I can’t help but worry. Anyone have a big difference between twins? And 135 at 20 weeks is within range so shouldn’t be too concerned?

I’m currently 19 weeks pregnant with fraternal twins. Have extensive history of anxiety/depression and went on Zoloft for postpartum depression & anxiety after my first baby. It completely changed my life and I was doing great. Then, my doctor had me wean off in the first trimester with my twins to see if I could be okay off it for the duration of the pregnancy to avoid any potential complications. Now, I am not doing well at all and want to go back on it. Just worried about potential complications and side effects especially since I’m already at a greater risk of complications and preterm labour due to having twins. Anyone have experience taking Zoloft during pregnancy and did you have any complications? How did your baby do after birth? Any withdrawal symptoms?
