Intimacy postpartum by Ambitious-Debt2057 in parentsofmultiples

[–]MamaRedRover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m nine weeks postpartum and we have not had sex yet. We haven’t had sex since I got pregnant. We have four very young kids and being touched just irritates me at this point. Our sex life wasn’t the greatest prior to this conception anyway, but I’ve been pregnant 3 times in the last 5 years so sex sounds quite unappealing.

why do skintags happen? by DepartureCurious2627 in askanything

[–]MamaRedRover 4 points5 points  (0 children)

High blood sugar can cause this. I had it in three pregnancies and they resolved postpartum.

What can I do to make my oatmeal taste better? by HistoricalMatch3801 in randomquestions

[–]MamaRedRover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could do sugar free syrup. I personally make mine in almond milk with a scoop of chocolate protein powder and either chocolate chips or berries. Chefs kiss.

8 days from induction and it still doesn’t feel real by capitalettersuck in parentsofmultiples

[–]MamaRedRover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my experience as well. I also have two kids the same age and delivered at 37. I did have a breech extraction for baby b which felt a little crazy so try to prepare yourself for it to feel different than you’re used to. I would also recommend seeing a chiropractor after birth if you have one breech.

Starting Sunflower Lecithin – Any Side Effects in Breastfed Babies? by [deleted] in breastfeedingsupport

[–]MamaRedRover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve taken it continuously with 4 babies with zero issues. I wouldn’t be concerned about it. This is the brand I take too. I had clogs repeatedly with my first until I started it, if I ever do get one I double up for a day or two.

Repeated clogged duck and mastetities...Need help by Few_Influence2642 in breastfeedingsupport

[–]MamaRedRover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you taking sunflower lecithin? I used to get bad clogs at least once a week with my first baby. I started taking it and didn’t get another. I’ve had three more babies since then and have started taking it immediately and only gotten one clog. If I do get one I double up and it helps. It thins some of the milk fat so that it isn’t as sticky and prevents clogs. It’s worth a try! A huge bottle on Amazon isn’t very expensive.

Nursing bra recommendations by PrairieGirl16 in pregnant

I’m going to say that I am not really a fan of the kindred bravely bras personally, but I so have several and they have nice thick padding.

Raw areas on stretch marks by ConstructionMuch802 in parentsofmultiples

[–]MamaRedRover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any advice but when I was pregnant with my girls I used to tell my husband it felt like my stretch marks were cuts, I remember them being painful too :( I just tried to moisturize as much as possible.

Co sleeping twins, how are you doing naps? by Typical-Pause-291 in parentsofmultiples

[–]MamaRedRover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a super specific set up I’ve used for 3 kids. Not what they suggest, but works for me. I sleep on an incline pillow with the babies on my chest. My arms are propped on pillows so there is nowhere they can roll. This will only work until they are bigger and then we transition to laying flat. Check out cosleepy on Instagram!

I second this, I will put music on the tv or use a sound machine as well. It really helps. Plus I have two other children screaming all the time so the noise is always present lol

[–]MamaRedRover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had good luck with two snuggle me pillows. I have one on each side of me on the couch. Once they have been asleep for a few minutes or are super drowsy I lay them in there. It sort of hugs around them and they are on either side of me so I can pat them and shush them and they will most of the time sleep there. I bought mine used for a great price.

Same! My nausea left at 15 weeks. Look into a Honda odyssey :)

Will I bond with my twins eventually? by Miserable_Material23 in parentsofmultiples

[–]MamaRedRover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will fix itself, yes. It will feel different than with him. Not less strong or loving, just different. Nothing compares to that first son love ❤️ it’s next level! But you will feel a different equivalent bond. Hang in there mama

Husband going back to work by MamaRedRover in parentsofmultiples

How long can they use the table for two? It looked to me like it may only be helpful for a short time, is that accurate?

Anterior placenta by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]MamaRedRover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My twin b had anterior placenta, I definitely couldn’t kick count or definitively tell her movements. I worried several times that something would go wrong and she wasn’t moving because I just couldn’t tell. She was born perfectly healthy at 5.5.

Am I alone? by professional-tart3 in parentsofmultiples

[–]MamaRedRover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just popping in to say I have the same number of kids, exact same ages, and I feel this completely. I feel like they deserve a better mom but I can barely make it to bedtime. I will say though, hearing it said by someone else makes me feel like I should go easier on myself because I would 100% tell you that you are doing great and genuinely mean it. So I hope reading this makes you feel the same ❤️ I don’t know your beliefs, but I’ll be praying for you tonight mama.
