Questions & Answers

You know what I think
If you are pregnant with twins and everyone is giving you attention you will be so busy about that and won't think about anything else
I think you should sit with your sister and tell her how you feel after all she is your sister don't tell her your Jelouse just explain that no one is caring about your coming baby and trust me she will understand cuz she can't read your mind and know what's going on on your life
Try to figure out a way while both of you can celebrate the birth of both your children's
If it was my sister I would do the same

We were hoping for twins when we got pregnant. When I got pregnant and it was a singleton, I was thrilled, but told my OB lovingly how we had been wanting twins, and she said ohhhh nooo, have them one at a time, you are LUCKY you are having a singleton. She said: twins RUIN your body much more then one baby, twins almost always come early, there are many more stressful complications, and breastfeeding twins exclusively is a nightmare.

So, your family might not give you and the baby the attention you deserve, but your boobs, your tummy, your vagina.... they will thank you. Win!

I know how you feel. My last pregnancy my sister and I were pregnant at the same time. We were 2 weeks apart. I felt the same way when she announced she was pregnant after me, I wanted all the attention. Now with this pregnancy I get all the attention. :) I wouldn't change it for the world. I loved being pregnant with her and sharing stories and shopping together. After the babies were born my family didn't treat anyone of them differently. It was actually really fun at family gatherings and stuff. Now they are 5 and they are so close and I love that they are close cousins. It's like having twins in the family. We love it. I'm sure the excitement will wear off. I'm sure they won't treat your baby any different. I feel for you, but enjoy your pregnancy and your sister's pregnancy. It's not very often you can share something like this together. Best of luck, but try to embrace it.

I would look at the positives sides of this. In my eyes it would mean more private, special time to have with the baby with your partner. Visitors to your home after baby is born can be overwhelming, when you just want to be with your baby! I d see it as the heat being taken off me! lol.

Bummer :) Each baby is wonderful and worthy of celebrating!

I feel like of the same - as there are so many babies right ahead of me, that mine seems less celebrated. It kind of sucks. I feel like just another baby in the midst of a whole bunch of babies.

The best you can do is also celebrate your sister. Let her know you're also excited for her, but then celebrate your own child with those around you. So maybe your family won't get all goo-gaa-gaa over your baby, but your friends will!
