41 discovered 6wks pregnant with twins.

[MichelleGC1978]

Hi all, I had a reversal two years ago and got a 14 month old daughter. Had a miscarriage in Jan. I discovered I was pregnant 2 weeks ago. Had 2 scans and hcg test. Had scan Tuesday to tell me I'm carrying twins!!!!

What's it like to carry twins? Did you feel more tired and sick this early? What things did you eat? Etc

Thanks in advance xx

Oh wow congratulations & high five 🖐 getting pregnant at 41, I haven’t had twins either but have a few sets in our family. We’ve been ttc since 37 and have had 3 mmc @ 12w I’m now 39 & losing hope.

I just gave birth to twins in April through cs. You're more at risk at getting everything pretty much...but it doesn't mean you will get it all! Only means you will be monitored more closely and have more scans. My pregnancy was pretty uneventful and I didn't find it particularly tough, although I delivered at 32w due to having MCMA twins. The only complication I had was at delivery. You will generally lose more blood because your uterus will stretch more and is less easy/takes longer to contract. Apart from that it's absolute joy seeing the twins everyday! They are definitely double trouble but more importantly double joy!
