Lady Antebellum singer Hillary Scott says she endured "double the fatigue" while carrying twins, but she says giving birth to them is also a "double blessing from the Lord."
Nearly three years after suffering a miscarriage, Scott gave birth to identical twin daughters, Betsy Mack and Emory JoAnn, in January.
The singer recently spoke to People magazine about how she handled her pregnancy and how she felt about having twins.
Scott noted that being pregnant with twins was easier in some ways compared to her pregnancy with her first daughter, Eisele Kaye, who is now 4-years-old. She went on to say that she "felt so much better" compared to the time when she miscarried, noting that the recovery period was a long process and that it was a physically and emotionally difficult time for her.
However, she admitted that she also experienced some discomfort while carrying the twins.
"This time around, I slept a lot," Scott told People. "You [definitely have] double the fatigue. I was sick in the beginning and it was always right around showtime so I had to take anti-nausea medicine that my doctor prescribed me, which thank the Lord for that stuff".
The singer revealed that she was still touring with Lady Antebellum at that time, although she was not sure if she was going to make it to some shows because "there just were some close calls."
Scott and her husband, Chris Tyrell, had initially thought about the need for medical assistance due to her previous miscarriage.
She said that she was emotional after she found that she was having twins, considering her previous miscarriage.
"It was emotional, because I'm like, 'Oh, we're going to have as many babies in our house as I hoped we would have,'" Scott told People. "'It just isn't in the same timing that I thought it was going to be, but we are going to have our three'".
Scott noted that she became more calm and felt more at peace about the pregnancy after the 20th week. She said that her twin daughters are a "double blessing from the Lord," and noted that neither her side or her husband's side of the family has a history of twins.
"It was just one of those things. I was like, 'They're meant to be here,'" she added.
Meanwile, Tyrell has announced that he will not be joining Lady Antebellum as the band goes on tour starting this July.
Tyrell, who plays drums for the band, said that he will be staying at home to take care of the twins while Scott performs with the rest of the group.
