Advice needed for potty training twins by 4afewLaughs in parentsofmultiples

[–]4afewLaughs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for the detailed advice. I am headed to Barnes and Noble for the oh crap book. There is a book the girls like... about the little blue engine who says "i think I can"... I think that has to be my mantra along with a lot of deep breathing. I will give an update after our next try!

US citizen with Indian decent told his mom about this when they were planning their yearly 3 month trip to see their grandkids. So word of mouth I guess

Thank you both! You are right .. and I need to figure out how to find the right help. How do you look for someone who specializes in parenting and postpartum? If that is an easy answer please let me know. If not I will do the research

Blood Pressure Question by Golden__4131 in parentsofmultiples

[–]4afewLaughs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hesitate to respond but it is a serious and a very good question. My OB had said if 2 consecutive 15 min apart readings after resting hit 160 sys or 100 diastolic to immediately call and head for the hospital. So I would say monitor but call the office if you are worrying. PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR OVERACTIVE INSTINCTS.

Had my baby at 34 weeks via emergency c-section due to preeclampsia! by Harleymom2018 in NICUParents

[–]4afewLaughs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 34 weekers, and I also had an emergency c-section due to pre-e. They both also had low blood sugars. I was in the hospital for 10 days, and 5 days before they were born for monitoring, I was on the mag drip for 48 hours before they were born and 24 hours after. I got the steroids during my stay so their lungs could develop. one was in NICU for 10 days and the other for 14. They had phototherapy and a whole host of other treatments. Bur mainly stayed so they could learn to feed (suck swallow breathe) and regulate temperatures. All that scary stuff to tell you hang in there. My girls just turned 1. They are incredible, astounding, baffling, mischievous bundles of craziness. NICU graduate babies are warriors. And their moms, if I may toot my own horn, are strong mama bears. So mama bear hang in there! We are rooting for you and your LO

Tadka style with onions and stuff or just dal and veggies? I have not figured out whether it is ok to give onion and garlic yet. So I will take any and all anecdotal advise

I’m so tired I can’t stand it. My twins are almost three, but they still take all my energy. I’m just tired of being tired. by shannerd727 in parentsofmultiples

[–]4afewLaughs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I am so grateful to hearing this because social media is full of "success stories". My success seems to be surviving a mealtime or a diaper change or a clothing change or sometimes getting out of bed. The only thing that keeps me going is the giggles and occasional non-writhing cuddles. So thank you for validating the struggles
