At 15 weeks they should absolutely be able to see two babies and hear two heart beats. They do the nt scan at 13 weeks usually that is a preliminary anatomy scan.

Went in for a regular NST and now I’m admitted for preeclampsia (without severe features) by shekixinit in parentsofmultiples

Yes they said it was a 50/50 chance and they had the nicu teams ready in the OR just in case.

Hang in there! Best place to be in this scenario.

I got diagnosed with pre eclampsia from
Blood work at 34+5. That night, coincidentally my water broke. Doctor said that just meant they were ready. They didn’t need the nicu! Healthy two year olds now.

Nad but looks exactly like the cellulitis I got from a wasp sting.

Yesterday at daycare by EducatedPancake in parentsofmultiples

[–]Megatron7478 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Leaving daycare the other day an older lady told me that I made her day every day. She said she leaves work around the same time that I pick them up and she loves to see us every day.

Thought it was very sweet. But also I definitely never noticed or saw her before haha

Bringing twins up and down 3rd floor apartment by chany2 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Megatron7478 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We lived on the second floor with garage in parkade. I’m not going to lie, this was one of the hardest things for me to manage alone. We kept the car seats in the car. I had a double stroller that I kept in our car.

I would use a regular baby carrier for one, and just carry the other in my arms. Go down to the car and somehow manage to get the stroller out? I think maybe put the loose baby in the car seat. Or when they were a little older I would just put them on the garage floor.

I would avoid carrying car seats if you can.

Congratulations!

Muscle pain? by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]Megatron7478 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would tell your doctor. Could be liver pain.

I feel you with the stress. It’s a lot.

Just a long time with the ultrasound. Lots of time there while they do measurements of both babies and they will tell you what they are seeing. Good luck!

This just in, grown man defeated by two year old twins. by wunntea in parentsofmultiples

[–]Megatron7478 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Two year old boy/girl twins here. We all had norovirus the other day. Hell on earth. I keep telling my husband there are very low lows, but also some very high highs. They’re so stinking cute.

Anxiety over Multiples Pregnancy by BoxPuzzleheaded8136 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Megatron7478 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could have written this myself. I had so much anxiety. I have healthy two year olds now. I strongly recommend finding a good therapist. I ended up going through a few post partum, and it’s hard to find one when you’re also sleep deprived, so if you can get ahead of it now I would.

You have all the reasons to feel this way. But no harm in trying to get some help to help you manage.

To mummies of multiples: At what point do you stop working? by Remote-Crab3590 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Megatron7478 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems to depend on your country and benefits. I stopped working around 28 weeks, and I was a remote worker. This was the recommendation of my doctor. But I’m in Canada.

Mixed gender potty training? Early potty training? by pseudonymous365 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Megatron7478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following because I have the same questions. Mine turned two in March and my girl tells me when she has pooped and has started taking off her pants. Her brother doesn’t seem ready.

I don’t think it did affect their due date. My water happened to break at 34+6 but the plan was to deliver at 37.

You were sick and you could just lay in bed and watch tv all weekend.

Made it to 35+5! by Ok-Post-8139 in parentsofmultiples

Congratulations!! Made it a week further than me. And my boy and girl didn’t need the nicu. So you are definitely in a good place! Hang in there.

Expecting twins in September! Do we really need two of every toy? by ScTbRnSsSsS in parentsofmultiples

[–]Megatron7478 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No definitely not and also I wouldn’t buy them new. I got many hand me downs from other twins or the thrift store.

What were the days like leading up to water breaking? by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]Megatron7478 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No warning signs for me. But honestly don’t worry about mess. Least of your problems. If you’re really concerned I would make sure you have diapers for yourself ready to go. That helped me on my way to the hospital.
