That makes ot seem like it's impossible, to raise two or more kids.
Ladies it's not easy, but once you get in your own groove of doing stuff. It is more easier to handle multiple kids at once. I mean it is not like you're going to have your baby, and things fall into place. However it is not like you're going to have your baby, and all hell will break loose. I mean hell yeah you may lose your mind in the beginning, but things will adventually fall into place. Also after talking with my mother in law, raising twins is not the same as raising two kids. I don't have twins, I just have soon to be 4 kids. My mother in law had twins, and two more kids after. With three, it was hard to adjust. However as soon as I did, it got easier. Now it is still not easy, but easier. So do not let a negative nelly, make you freak. Yes you will go bonkers at times, but its no more bonkers than you can go with one child.
Now raising twins is from what my mother in law said, harder work and maybe some don't see it as such. She also said once you get your grove its easier. It will never just be easy, but easier. My kids are 5 years old, 3 years old, 2 years old, and 24 weeks with number 4, it is never easy but has became easier. I will have to set a better groove when baby gets here, but thats the challange I will take when she is here.
Also having previous kids, it is common for one to "show" at 10 weeks. It may just be your uterus growing a little bigger, and faster than before. However it is a bump, and it is your bump. I started showing with this one at 16 weeks, I can see surface movements now at 24 weeks. Video to prove it, if we could upload. Now 10 weeks may not be baby, but it is a bump. Unfortnately a mother of previous kids, may look more pregnant than a first time twin mom. That is due to the uterus already being through it. So there is no use telling a second or more time mom, she is not showing. We all start showing at different speeds, and a ftm could show before a second time mom. Pregnancies and babies are different, and grow at different rates. I hope I made no one mad, just don't want anyone with their second child getting scared. It is not as bad as people make it out to be!

That's a relief, because I'm having my 2nd child pretty close to my first. Felt like I jumped from pregnancy to pregnancy with a year "break" which wasn't really a break because it's a huge learning curve and then boom I'm pregnant again. I'm not too worried about it though. I'm excited to have a new bff that's a little boy. (Boys are a rarity on my side of the family) and my little girl will have a new bff too! 👍

@supermommyx21, My 3 year old amd 2 year old, are ten months apart. It was a little hard at first, but when my 3 year who 1 year old started walking. It got a lot easier. You already have the awesome mind set, of not being to worried. You got this.
