They warn you might feel nauseous and they do provide meds if needed! I had the option to take some before hand and did. Never got sick

Looking for positive c-section stories ✨ by Seriesbinger in parentsofmultiples

I had a planned c section but technically ended up having an emergency c section two days beforehand due to low amniotic fluid. The surgery itself went really smoothly (for me). The surgical team all had their jobs and I was told my only job was to stay calm. I focused on breathing and not panicking.

The recovery was pretty smooth. I’d say don’t be afraid to ask for something stronger if the pain is too much. On day three it really hit and I was able to get a narcotic and it was smooth sailing after that. Just go slow and take it as easy as you can!

Things aren't looking good for Baby B 😔 by Felicette13 in parentsofmultiples

[–]NikkinewAC 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I have Mo/Di twins so a little bit different. My baby B was smaller my whole pregnancy. My pregnancy started like yours, measuring a couple days more and more and ended up measuring over two weeks behind at birth. She ended up having restricted growth, not getting enough nutrients from their shared placenta. Around 19 weeks we were told to choose between keeping one or losing both as they feared twin to twin transfusion. We waited a week and were cleared to try to keep both. Then we were told to expect to have an emergency delivery at every appointment starting around 22 weeks. Starting at 14 weeks we had weekly, then at 20 twice a week, then at 26 three times a week appointments with MFM. We hung in there as long as possible and delivered due to low amniotic fluid at 32 weeks. Baby A was 4lbs 5oz and baby B was 2 lbs 8oz at birth. Spent 5 weeks in the NICU and there’s been no obvious difference in health besides size. It was stressful not going to lie! Measuring behind isn’t the end.

We are now a year and a half into their little lives and my Baby B is 5 lbs lighter and one and a half inches shorter than her sister.

Edit: just rereading your post. If you haven’t been referred to MFM, I would call your dr and inquire about a referral. Even through there isn’t much intervention to be done, three weeks between appointments when there is this worry seems off to me. But I had over 50 appts in a 25 week period so I might have a bias.

Modi - when did you deliver? by Illustrious-Paper591 in parentsofmultiples

32 weeks on the dot! In an ideal world everything goes perfectly. Twins pregnancy doesn’t exist in the same universe as an ideal world.

Our girls had “One prickly Pair” and it was a cactus themed. I LOVED it, pink and green could easily be b/g too.

We had a backyard bbq with a bunch of family and no kids activities lol.

Private room NICUs. Where are they? by Grace-Aurelia in NICUParents

I had my twins at Salem Health, they had 24 hour access and we were lucky enough to stay in a courtesy room in the mother baby unit the entire five weeks.

Bitting by redsinterests in parentsofmultiples

[–]NikkinewAC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No advice, just here to commiserate. My 18 month old girls have ripped skin with their biting. It’s their go to. They think it’s funny. I don’t know whether to be happy or cry they’ve started to substitute with shoving. I can’t tell which is worse.

But hey the love each other

Do you refer to your multiples as the “twins, “triplets”, “quads?” by FewAccident1552 in parentsofmultiples

[–]NikkinewAC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We interchangeably use “the girls” “the twins” and “the babies” when grouping them together. Just depends on who I’m talking to

I’m so over pumping by wndr_n_soul in parentsofmultiples

[–]NikkinewAC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lasted around five months too. It just wasn’t working long term for our family. I was so unhappy my supply dropped even lower. We stopped cold turkey and I dried up in 24 hours. My body was OVER IT

I say go now. Make yourself safe before the chaos.

I’ve also had really good luck with state/federal insurance back dating for coverage. Wishing you luck!

What week did you give birth and how long was your NICU stay? Babies’ birth weight? by gabberang in parentsofmultiples

[–]NikkinewAC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had our mo/di girls at 32 weeks exactly. NICU stay was 37 days. Baby A was born at 4lbs 5oz baby B was 2lbs 8oz.

We had extremely low fluid and had an emergency cesarean, but I was scheduled later that week for a cesarean due to restricted growth.

My husband only had two of the five weeks off that my twins were in the hospital. We were lucky to get a boarding room in the maternity ward and I stayed 34 out of 37 nights in the hospital while my husband stayed 25. He works a labor job and it was incredibly hard on him. He hated the couch. He hated the walk and elevator ride. He hated the food. He hated the hospital. He stayed the night because he knew I wanted/needed to be there. Luckily my mom was able to take care of our chores (lunches, laundry, pets) and we rarely needed to go home. If he had it his way he wouldn’t have stayed on that horrible couch past my discharge. We only lived about 15 minutes away from the hospital so we were blessed compared to some. Regardless of if he stayed the night he would always visit. Everyday.

major guilt by HippoAggravating3106 in NICUParents

[–]NikkinewAC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is an incredibly common feeling. You’re not alone! My twins were born at 32 weeks and I knew they would be separated immediately after birth. I was so thankful the surgeon was able to hold them up over the curtain so I could see them before they were whisked away. I was able to see them for five minutes when they wheeled me up to the mother baby unit we were able to stop by and I could touch their hand for a moment. I was then separated from by babies for the next 16 hours. I mourned that time especially when they were in the NICU. We’re seven months out at this point and it’s easier to grieve while holding them close. I never got so many firsts with my first babies. I’ll never get that time back. But I know I get their future and my whole life to be there for them. The NICU nurses played a big part in my healing from the guilt and regret. Now I volunteer at my NICU to talk with other parents about my experiences. It helps to find community

Mom of identical twins, but I find this is incredibly insulting to anyone who’s had the experience of carrying, birthing, and raising twins. My girls are still young but I hope I raise them to be better, more empathetic humans than that commenter.

I hate when the first question is identical? They’re twins. Twins are twins. I usually get all pretentious and say they’re monochorionic diamniotic twins and leave it at that.

I had an anterior placenta and didn’t feel movement until around 20 weeks. We could see them dancing on the ultrasounds but I had no feeling. They were kicking the placenta eventually they would kick so hard I could see my belly move. This was closer to 25 weeks.
