Quadruplets!!!!!

Hi everyone, I've never joined anything like this but I think speaking to other moms like me may help. I am 12 wks pregnant with quadruplets. I am considered a severely high risk pregnancy but so far have been doing very well. We could not have been happier or more scared when we found out. Pregnant to begin with was a surprise but QUADRUPLETS!! We are expecting an identical set of twin girls and an identical set of twin boys. Anyway, recently I have been feeling very emotional. Questioning whether I can do this or not. While I am sure I have more support than most these days I still find myself crying and lonely. Any advice?

Awww Honey, your hormones are totally kicking in. I think I cried during the first half of my twin pregnancy. Wow, you really hit the jack pot. Identicals of BOTH. Yes, you can do it but you WILL need a lot of help. Start rounding up your supporters now.

I am a Mom of adult identical 'girls'. They are 34 now and mothers themselves. There is very little action here but I always look in. I am proof that we do survive. Not sure where you live, but there are Mother's Of Multiples Clubs I most major cities. I suggest that you try to find a Mom of Quads that can better help you. Are these your first? Mine were and sometimes I think it is better as we learn to parent with more than one at a time. Keep me informed as to how you are doing? I care

I agree with Mayberry...start looking for support now b/c you will most definitely need it when your babies arrive. I only had twins, can't imagine quads. Good luck to you.

Be calm and cool .. Surely you need support when the babies came out. So start looking for the support now.

    im just wondering on what you guys with twins did about sleeping, did your sleep together when they were newborn or separate? Some friends are saying they need to go together and some are saying they will wake each other up, I want my twins to be together but will they fit in one crib together ?

    Hi All,My Boy/Girl twins are starting 1st grade this year. I have been asked if I put them in the same class several times. Although I think they could use the time apart from each other. I think it would more difficult for my boy to go to School without his sister. Did anyone separate their Twins in school and when did you do it? How did they do when they were in separate classes?
