From the moment you find out you're taken into a room to have a meeting with a doctor who tells you your now a high-risk pregnancy. Something so thrilling and beautiful as hearing your baby's first heartbeat turns immediately into a terrifying moment. Your whole idea of pregnancy and motherhood just flashed before your eyes. The impossible happened. I remember thinking it was a joke as I was naive to think twins were only genetic but nope! Every woman has a .04% chance to have identical twins, only fraternal are genetic. Throughout all of pregnancy no one really had answers. I can't tell you how many nurses asked us if twins run on either of our sides. (Which is crazy as even with fraternal it has nothing to do with the male, only woman carry the gene!) But that fear, the hundreds of ultrasound appointments, the unknowing of it all was so so so worth it. Many still say to me when they're thinking of having another baby or pregnant "I hope it's not twins!". That used to bother me so much, like why are you saying what I have is something bad? Now though, I just laugh inside as I know only the few lucky ones get twins. And twins are truly amazing. P.S. If you've ever seen me and said twins are your dream, especially when I was knee-deep in postpartum, you literally made my day! Sometimes I needed to hear that when it was the first year of their life and it was such a refreshing reminder of how lucky I truly am. 🩷 #twinmom #identicaltwins #twinpregnancy less
