Single Mother Of A 2 1/2 Year Old Boy Expecting Twin Boys

by Jess

All the advice I have found on how to handle my situation when my twins come seems to be centered around people who have husbands and/or lots of family near by. I am a single mother and I am 20 weeks pregnant with fraternal twins. Does anyone have advice on what I could do on my own to make things easier for my singleton?

Just make sure you spend some time with your singleton, even after your twins are born. The firstborn should continue to feel special and not mixed up in the chaos of the new babies.

You're right, there's not a lot of information for single mother's of twins.

Do you have any family at all that is close by enough to help? Good friends who live near by?

It would be very helpful even to have just one extra person lend a hand. You could have that person take your older son for outings once in a while, or help you with the twins so that you have some extra time to spend with him yourself.

But, nevertheless, if you truly don't have the help, you can still succeed on your own. It will take a bit more finness on your part to organize your time well, get your babies onto a solid sleeping and feeding schedule, etc.
If you can get into a good routine, it will really make a difference when your on your own with all three.

I hope this is helpful, or at least a little reassuring...Best of luck to you!
