Re: Please tell me it gets easier

It def. gets better. I am also a mommy of twin boys!! When you're going through it you don't see or can't imagine an end in sight. I was miserable for almost 9 months and felt so guilty for feeling that way. My boys didn't sleep for 9 months so mixed with my PPD, hormones, I was sleep deprived. I would constantly say how I couldn't wait for them to be older. Now they are almost 3 and I wish time would slow down. Once my boys started sleeping through the night everything else fell into place. I promise you things will get better and easier.

Re: Please tell me it gets easier

Everything you are feeling is completely normal!!!!

You are so exhausted - physically and emotionally - after giving birth, and then your life has completely changed. I felt the same way as you and I only have one, I cannot imagine the stress or twins.

It truly does get better. I cried everyday for maybe 10 days or so, around 3 weeks it got a lot better.

Just tryl and get as much rest as possible and you will start feeling better!!!

Congratulations on those !!!

Re: Please tell me it gets easier

It gets better! I promise. The first few weeks home with my twins were a blur of feeding, changings etc.

I agree with others. Take a shower and get out of the house. Even if you sit on the porch a few minutes alone. You need it. An once their feeding go to 3 hours and then eventually 4 you will feel like a new person!
Take the help people are offering you. I am very bad at taking help and when my twins were about a month old I was so exhausted I literally slept for half the day while my mom, DH and SIL watched the kids.

Congratulations!!

Re: Please tell me it gets easier

I don't have twins, but I have two children - one is 2 1/2 and one is 3 months. Both times, I was a blubbering mess for two weeks after. THe first time, i questioned why i ever wanted to be a mom and wanted to run away, and the second time, I felt so guilty for bringing another baby in the house and not paying enough attention to DD #1. It is so hard to adjust to having babies in your life. For some people who are laid back and relaxed in general, it is easier, but for type-A people like myself, it isn't at all. It does get easier day by day as you learn how to take care of them and get them on a schedule that meshes with your lifestyle. My sister has 1 year old twins and it took a little time for her to get in a groove with them, but now it is so easy for her. I'd say that by the time they were 3 or 4 months, they were sleeping on a great schedule and she felt great. Now, they have so much fun playing with each other and are the cutest little BFF'S. Good luck with everything and hang in there!
