Serious people only....Anyone having twins who already has a 1yr old please give advice?

I am pregnant with twins. Though it is a medical miracle seeing I wasn't on fertility pills or anything I am apprehensive about having twins. Honestly was anticipating one more. Feeling overwhelmed about jumping from having one kid 2 3. Anyone got any good avice.Serious people only....Anyone having twins who already has a 1yr old please give advice?
Well, I don't know about advice, but I can tell you twin pregnancy is so completely different than a singleton. You have double the nausea, you'll have ligament pain (the uterus stretching), you will deliver earlier than with a singleton. Most c-sections or inductions are performed around 36 weeks of pregnancy. You'll probably end up on bed rest before all is said and done, but maybe not. The main thing in the beginning is to know that if you have morning sickness in pregnancy, you are going to have it twice as bad and yes, this is normal. The next thing to watch for is ligament pain and who knows from there. Every pregnancy is different. Keep in close contact with your doctor and remember to try your very very best to make it at least 34 weeks. That's when the babies are first able to breath on their own. The longer they stay in, the better their chances of not having to be in NICU. My daughter is having identical twin boys....without fertility drugs as well...due anytime now!
