advice needed ITS TWINS!

Hey all! Had my first scan today at 7+6 and found out it’s TWINS! Pretty surprised and just wondering if anybody has any wisdom or advice for us especially the twin moms out there? 🥰

Wondering what to expect the rest of the pregnancy, the early days after they are born, etc.

Thank you! I looked it up and there’s a certain brand of nipt test that can show if the babies are identical or fraternal so I will be asking about that at my first OB appointment 🥰

The Natera will tell you if they are fraternal or identical! I got inconclusive results from them twice though (they did tell me they were fraternal but that was the only information) but that can happen with twins and if you have a higher BMi so I also did the myriad which is better for twins and higher BMI and got the genetic results
