I just got this back...

She's right. I've jumped on my anxiety train again

Hi. It's ok for you to feel how you feel. I think this is about us remembering what's going on for you. I think the sadness is an automatic learned response stemming from a sense of powerlessness, which is how it used to be. You are right to be concerned and thinking about how you will manage with twins...that's your anxiety alerting you to the dangers. The key here is that you are believed and you will have support. The Australian multiple birth association AMBA has an associated support network Casey & District Multiple Birth Association...have a look at that website. Let's explore all the thoughts running in your head and work out what is doable, and what is not! We have to plan for the arrival of the babies, and your fears are important for us to address and either dissipate or plan for. I did try to call you earlier. Remember everyone else is excited to come and see and have a cuddle and then leave again...it will be a lot of work for you...we have to plan how you will be supported. Remember, anxiety is fear of the unknown...let's take what we know, plan for the possibilities, and the unknown then becomes smaller....at the moment I think you are sitting in the fear...let's start thinking about options to address your concerns.
