First time twin moms

[u/gaensebluemchen22]

I‘m wondering if anyone that had twins (or more) as their first children has any advice to give on this/feels similar. I love my b/g twins to death (they’re 5 months) but I‘m also somewhat bitter and think about missing out on the singleton experience a lot.
If you have 1 child and then multiples I think thats the jackpot for real. But even if I go on to have a 3rd child, I still will never be able to have that experience of having ONE child you can give all your attention and your doting to. And live that stereotypical newborn bubble you see all over. And just live that first time mom dream life in a way that mom of multiples cant.

I‘m just sad about missing out on what’s essentially a dream I had in regards to future parenthood. And now I‘m here in chaos and survival mode.

I feel you on this one. You are definitely not alone having these feelings, and its ok to feel that way. I mourne not having had this experience and I never will simply because my body cannot take another pregnancy and the risk of having another set of twins is too high when having fraternal twins. It helps to remind myself of how lucky I am to have gotten two at the same time and that they are healthy and happy babies 🥰
