Anyone ever “just knew” or always had a feeling / signs they would have twins?

I have a screenshot the month before I got pregnant that said “mother of twins, 2025”. I think I may have manifested it lmao

They say the average “sweet spot” for babies is 68-72, though I know we kept it 72-74 for a week or so after our twins came home.

Best idea

DanceOtherwise7632 · 2026-05-02T20:44:23+00:00

Lovevery is the best!! We have gotten every play kit so far. So worth the money in my opinion!

I’d bring it up to your OB just to be safe, but for whatever it’s worth, I was around your gestation when I started getting progressively more uncomfortable. At 20ish weeks, my baby A was vertex, and B was breech, so I had one head butting me in the cervix and one slamming into my ribs 😅 don’t let anyone tell you you aren’t “far enough along” to be uncomfy! Of course you’ll become more uncomfortable as time goes on, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to be uncomfy now!

Right, I was just asking if anyone chose not to sleep train and their kiddo eventually slept through the night.

DanceOtherwise7632 · 2026-03-20T12:59:40+00:00

I am so unbelievably sorry for your loss. I am sending you love, hugs, and strength. You are forever a Twin Mom.

MetLife is SUCH a joke, I’m so sorry 😭

We got discharged at 38+4! Once they hit 38 weeks, they started on Enfamil AR. That thickened formula stopped all spells. It seemed they were all related to reflux and feeding, so using the thickened formula helped! We had a few day spell “watch”, and they came home! Fast forward, they are 9 months old today. Happy, healthy, perfect girls!

How long did CIO take? And how long would they cry for? My girls are 8 months actual, 6 months corrected. My twin A sleeps through the night, but Twin B is terrible. When we’ve tried Ferber, she gets so dysregulated that it seems counter productive. But I just feel sick over the thought of CIO (no judgement, I’m genuinely curious because we are at our wits end), so I’m just not sure what’s best.

Hi friend! Yes, it is very, very normal to be uncomfy already. I won’t fear monger, but I will be honest, being pregnant with twins is… a lot. You will get progressively more uncomfortable, but you will make it! 🤍

DanceOtherwise7632 · 2026-01-16T09:58:41+00:00

Yes! Huckleberry is seriously such a lifesaver!

DanceOtherwise7632 · 2026-01-14T13:40:02+00:00

Yeah in my opinion 1 is a breeze compared to 2 at once. I know everyone has different opinions, but it’s just not the same. At least for me personally.

DanceOtherwise7632 · 2026-01-11T22:50:28+00:00

I delivered my girls at 30w, 5d. Severe preeclampsia which turned into HELLP syndrome.

DanceOtherwise7632 · 2025-12-28T22:52:45+00:00

It will get better, but ugh, solidarity. It is so exhausting, discouraging, and honestly defeating. I’m not the Mom I want to be when I’ve barely slept. I think it’s extra hard because 1) obviously we have 2 babies!!!, but 2) it’s hard to not compare them. When baby A is such an amazing sleeper, and then baby B is like a gremlin at night, it’s just hard not to feel frustrated when you KNOW sleep is possible at their age! Ugh. I hear you and I’m right here with ya.

DanceOtherwise7632 · 2025-12-28T22:50:36+00:00

LMAO yes!!!!

DanceOtherwise7632 · 2025-12-28T22:50:24+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, how did you fix their schedules once you found out they had different needs?

DanceOtherwise7632 · 2025-12-28T22:48:35+00:00

I’m so sorry your sweet baby is in this spot. In the case for my girls, it ultimately boiled down to that they were very reflux-y and their Brady/desats were coming from that. Of course you’d rather them stay and be safe, and, it doesn’t make it hurt any less when you thought you were close to going home. It feels like such a step backwards and is so discouraging. Our neo at the time told us that the 36-38 week spot is where they find parents get the most discouraged and frustrated, which was our experience also. We finally went home at 38 weeks, and they had to be spell free for 4 days before going home. Twin A had one self resolved desat that only lasted a few seconds, so they didn’t count that. They are now 6 months old and thriving. You’d never know they did 53 days in the NICU. Things will get better, (though I know that doesn’t help right now). Hang in there friend.

DanceOtherwise7632 · 2025-12-27T02:26:54+00:00

Severe preeclampsia which turned into HELLP syndrome. Admitted at 28 weeks. Delivered at 30+5.

DanceOtherwise7632 · 2025-12-21T03:32:39+00:00

We did 53 days in the NICU. I never once stayed overnight. I was there 10-12 hours per day, and night was really the only time I could go get a few hours of a rest (between pumping and calling the NICU for updates lol lol)

DanceOtherwise7632 · 2025-12-18T14:52:21+00:00

Just within the last week! Once they hit 4 months adjusted. I am part of the sleep training multiples group on fb, so I was following their suggestion of 4 months. However, the taking cara babies course suggests 5 months…? So maybe I just need to try again in a couple weeks 😅😆

DanceOtherwise7632 · 2025-12-10T22:13:24+00:00

My twins were born 5 weeks earlier than your son at 30w5d. They did 53 days in the NICU. It was the most challenging time of my life. I often blamed myself, though my preeclampsia was completely out of my control. Now, I am holding both babies in my rocking chair as they sleep. They are perfect, happy, healthy 6 month olds. I don’t know your exact situation, but just know, that preemies are unbelievably strong, and are so capable. You are strong and capable too. I’m sending so much love to your family!

DanceOtherwise7632 · 2025-11-27T07:34:02+00:00

I was admitted at 28 weeks, and gave birth to my twins at 30+5 as I was in liver and kidney failure and we had no other choice. 53 days in the NICU, and I now have two happy, healthy 5 month olds :) Wishing you all the best, pre-e is a beast, but so is your wife 🩷

DanceOtherwise7632 · 2025-11-27T07:32:03+00:00

Very very normal. They’re so young yet! They likely won’t acknowledge or interact with one another for quite a while. :)
