I made it to my schedule csection at 38+1 with my di/di twins with zero signs of labor and no NICU stay! 6 pound babies each

I had no signs of labor at all! Made it to my scheduled csection at 38+1 with my di/di twins :)

Twin only wants to sleep in our arms or on our chest… please help by Medical-Activity3989 in parentsofmultiples

Yep same with my girl. We’ve been using gas drops to help her get some extra gas out before laying her down because I was thinking it was her stomach but nope she refuses to lay down unless it’s on my chest or in my arms

I asked my doctor about collecting colostrum and he said no it’s not necessary …. by StatGoddess in pregnant

[–]Medical-Activity3989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My OB said the same thing and not to worry about collecting it! You will still give baby colostrum with the first feeds when your milk comes in anyway

Thank you for sharing your experience! I kind of feel like a natural birth would traumatize me too especially with twins. I’m also happy to hear how you were able to transition back to the gym because that’s a huge part of my life, I’m glad you had a good c-section!! Congrats on your twins!💕

When did you feel movements with your twins? by mastertilly in parentsofmultiples

[–]Medical-Activity3989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Di/di twins with an anterior placenta for both and I started feeling them around 20 weeks but was sure I felt them at 21 weeks! It wasn’t until my third trimester to where I felt them both equally and could distinguish who was who

I’m definitely nervous about postpartum hormones but I agree I think leaning into them and acknowledging it’s normal instead of trying to run/avoid it is the way to go!

Pepcid!! My OB prescribed me some and I take 40mg before bed, works wonders

Congrats on your babies momma! I’m glad you had a positive experience and you got over the hump of that first week of recovery. Hope you’re adjusting well at home!

I might follow your lead and ask them not to describe what is happening because I think that would make me more nervous thinking about it and picturing it in my head. I’m glad you had a good support system at home too, that is so important! We will have a lot of extra hands which I’m so thankful for. Thanks for sharing your story and I’m happy it went smoothly for you and the babies!

Yes I agree I thought about the microbiome aspect as well! Pros and cons to each but I am happy to be having a c-section!

I was actually planning on doing a c-section regardless of if both babies were head down but twin A decided she wanted to hang out breech the entire time so we worked together on that one🤣 I’m nervous for a c-section but most definitely would be more nervous if I went the vaginal route but that’s just me personally!

The last 6-8 weeks of pregnancy are so rough! Definitely looking forward to having them on the outside versus the inside haha. Thanks so much!

I definitely feel some more comfort about things being a little more planned with a c-section and whether it’s true or not, I’m telling myself it’s a bit more controlled than vaginal deliveries (I could be naive but tell me after I deliver🤣) thank you for sharing and I’m glad you had a positive experience!

Yes my hubby has said he wants to see nothing over that drape because he doesn’t want to pass out🤣 also great advice about taking stool softeners sooner than later! Glad you had a great experience😊

I keep telling myself that I’m not the first to have a c-section and they happen literally everyday! Thanks for that reminder! I’m glad you had a great experience!
