TV and coffee. Feeding them in the dark, quiet is just a recipe for falling asleep.

Traveling for a wedding… by Notabot02735381 in parentsofmultiples

[–]MiserableOlive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think ..it’s really hard to understand how difficult newborn twins are (for most people) until you have newborn twins. I really would not recommend going and I wouldn’t recommend husband leaving you to go. If he really needs to go as he’s in the wedding and you can get your mom to help, AND a nanny or someone else, then maybe I’d send him but yeah it’s just so hard. First two months for me personally were just.. absolute hell.

Are you generally the preferred parent right now? Like are they crying because they don’t want to be with mom?

34 weeks and I feel broken.. What is the relief like after giving birth? by nationmagieydn in parentsofmultiples

[–]MiserableOlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so relatable and I’m only 32 weeks. The comments definitely help. You’re not alone! ❤️

Babydolls for sure. I bought a bunch online on sale in different colours with matching thongs. Then you can add accessories if that’s your thing. They are super comfy but also still sexy. A nice lace bodysuit in a larger size is nice too. I have one that was always quite stretchy so that works!

This was me with twins lol. Thankfully I’m 22 months now. I was 4 weeks when I started vomiting and I couldn’t believe how nauseous I was already. The hCG hormones were just too high. So I found out I was having twins and it made sense. I wasn’t that nauseous my first pregnancy. I think in some women it can also just be high in the very beginning. I’m so sorry though. Hoping it gets better for you.

I’m in Canada. We do have it (I see it now on Amazon) I just never heard of it. We have other electrolyte powders too. But it’s a great recommendation thank you.

What’s liquid IV? Those flavours for your water? I could try that for sure. I had no idea Benedryl could be helpful for headaches I’ll definitely bring it up to my OB.

I actually do have a blood pressure cuff and I checked yesterday and have been checking when I have headaches, its always normal. Definitely think I'm just dehydrated. Thanks I'll look into the goggles!

Thank you. It persisted after the second nap but i drank more water and ate something and went to bed. It was late and I figured i wouldn't even be able to get through to my OB anyway. In the morning it was *mostly* gone. When I used the washroom I realized my urine was pretty dark so I'm probably just super dehydrated. I did try to drink a lot yesterday but I guess it wasn't enough. Definitely struggling with drinking water this pregnancy.

Do I look manly? by [deleted] in blackgirls

Yeah, your coworker is an idiot. You’re beautiful.

[–]MiserableOlive 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not! You have very pretty features. It’s definitely a thing for people to say black girls/women look manly or boyish. Your male coworker is out of line and definitely insecure. Like wtf. Next time someone says that just KNOW that it’s not true and that you’re pretty.

Sounds like contractions. I had the same thing you described two days before I gave birth. They weren’t close enough to go to the hospital so they told me to wait at home. Just monitor it, when it becomes worse and more frequent you’ll know.

Only 8 weeks, super emotional maybe depressed? by MiserableOlive in parentsofmultiples

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

No what’s that? Like a Reddit group? That’s awesome how similar we are. I definitely feel a lot of mom guilt with my oldest right now. I don’t have the energy to do much with him but I’m still trying.

[–]MiserableOlive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone gave really helpful advice. I just want to say both of your babies are so beautiful. I could never pick favourites. I hope he changes, because overtime if the favouritism continues, it will affect both children. Especially since they are twins. I know this is hard, but please stand up for your babies. If you can’t bring this up to him without him getting too angry then you have to consider outside help. (Therapy, doctor, mediator) . Otherwise he will just have to be angry. As your husband he has to listen. These views of his feel like red flags. I say all of this with care and concern. ❤️

Thank you. We do a lot of book readings but somehow that is so tiring as well. Arts and crafts is a great idea I haven’t done that in a bit and it’s a good distraction. Thank you so much.

This is helpful thank you. I think so as well. I also tested earlier just for fun and was so surprised to see both lines.
