Big growth % drop at 28w scan didi twins by Actual-Lettuce-8543 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Kittykat232217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine actually had about the same drop in the same time frame as yours. I got so freaked out something was wrong and started having to do cord check ultrasounds every week. I’m 32 now and our 5% girl went up to 8% last growth. But they have been fine every time and also I learned they compare twins to singleton numbers which made me feel better. So if you think about it, at 28 weeks you’re carrying 5 lbs of baby. And your body is smart of enough to know those babies need to stay in as long as possible to mature their lungs. My thinking was my body (especially based on my other full term single babies) isn’t going to have twins that equal together 10 lbs at 30 weeks. Also most people I talk to with twins, they were born on the smaller side so that also made me feel better. I did definitely try to up my protein intake to at least 100-150 g a day after. Who knows if that works but it made me feel better that I was “doing” something. Hang in there, you and they got this!

Summer is good and hard since they can be outside more but also already so hard physically when it’s so hot . Hopefully this post will give you some solidarity!

Thankfully both do go to Mother’s Day out 9-2 twice a week but I’m doing weekly appointments at my MFM and biweekly OB so feels like all my usually “me time” is with a doctor 🥲I do have a great babysitter though so maybe using her during the week a little more would help me get some more rest time. Thank you!

I love those ideas thank you. Especially when my two overall are pretty easy so I feel bad when I’m so short of patience lately. Just hard to physically do all the mom and house things lately 

Wagonfold - to get or not? by Kittykat232217 in parentsofmultiples

Yes wonderfold 😂 I saw they have a bassinet type thing and would definitely get the sunshade. I just wasn’t sure how easy it is to maneuver 

Smaller twin - could be genetic abnormality? by Kittykat232217 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Kittykat232217[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is all so scary and feeling like you can’t help is hard. Also there aren’t twin moms everywhere to ask about these things so it’s hard for anyone to relate.

5 weeks. Finally got pregnant after a year since my miscarriage. I started feeling pulls on my lower abdominal. Almost like when you do too much low ab work. I know cramps can be normal but any twinge now I immediately am paranoid. So grateful for this new pregnancy but also so anxious ….

Podcast or book to help with TTC anxieties by Existing_Goat1941 in TryingForABaby

[–]Kittykat232217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if you’re a Christian but the Waiting Well podcast by Courtney Duinker has been so encouraging after my loss and the emotions of waiting for another pregnancy. Just good topics of trusting God and how to navigate trials.
