✨ Your Questions, My Answers: TWIN Pregnancy Q&A Time! 👶🏻👶🏻

body image, prenatal routines, & what I'm most nervous about...

Hello, hello!

As I type this, I am sitting at a coffee shop, sipping on a half-caf americano, feeling my two little ones move & groove in my belly (so wild), and just so inspired to write this post…

It’s pregnancy Q&A time, baby!

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by hearing different women’s experiences with pregnancy, labor, postpartum, and beyond…

I just appreciate the fact that there can be similarities from person-to-person, but yet literally no two pregnancies will ever be exactly the same. Each experience is uniquely beautiful, challenging, and individual.

…and today, I’m excited to share my journey.

Last month, I shared a link to a pregnancy Q&A with my paid subscribers so they could ask their SPECIFIC questions about my twin pregnancy, and today I’m covering it all…

Writing and recording this Q&A was honestly super therapeutic for me. These questions gave me the chance to pause. to reflect. and to really process what this time has been like... each pregnancy is such a vivid (yet temporary!) phase of life, and I am thankful for the opportunity to capture it in this way. So, thank you! 🫶🏼

And you may notice that these answers are primarily about ME. As I navigate motherhood in our increasingly online world, I am striving to find a good balance about what I share about my family life. When it comes to content like this, I may share snippets of my kiddos, but do my best to keep my content focused on myself and my experience, my pregnancy, my motherhood journey, rather than making it overly focused on my family, ya know? Because while I genuinely LOVE talking about motherhood and my personal life, I am trying to find the elusive balance of sharing these topics *and* staying respectful to my loved ones and their privacy! I’m forever learning & adjusting & experimenting & figuring it out as I go & just doing my best along the way ◡̈

…And, trust me, I still have a LOT to say about my own experience 💅🏻 Ya girl is never at a loss for words 🤣

In this post, I will cover…

• How many kids I envision for our family (…and if twins changed that! 😅),

• Body image in this pregnancy (it’s been, um, very different than my singleton pregnancy…)

• If we decided to find out their genders of the babies and if they are identical or fraternal (hint, hint… we DID 😉)

• How I distinguished between “normal” morning sickness and hyperemesis gravidarum… woof.

• What my fitness routine has looked like this pregnancy (getting VERY specific)

• Tangible ideas for how we are [attempting] to prepare our toddler for his upcoming role as a big brother

• What I’m most excited about with twins (!!)

• …annnd what I’m most nervous about with twins 🫠🤪

Basically, it’ll be a rundown of everything that I’ve experienced with this twin pregnancy so far…

Much like previous Q & A posts, I answered your questions podcast style just so I could really make it true to me and add an extra personal touch, include more details, etc. While I personally love listening to someone and hearing their voice, I also typed up written summaries to each of the questions if you prefer to read my answers ◡̈ Enjoy!

Alright I won’t make you wait any longer, let’s get into it!
