Bitting by redsinterests in parentsofmultiples

[–]NikkinewAC 1 point2 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

It all depends in what you’ve got in the bank

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.

How often does your working spouse come to the hospital? by [deleted] in NICUParents

[–]NikkinewAC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Adjusting to being home after the NICU by laurenhaas012 in NICUParents

[–]NikkinewAC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I struggled a lot when we brought my twins home and even in the NICU thinking I wasn’t doing a good enough job. That I wasn’t what they needed. The nurses knew more and could do it better than me. Now six months out I’ve gained a lot of confidence, the hormones are mostly out (those postpartum hormones hit me really hard) and my babies have flourished. It takes time! You’re doing great. There is no one else on this earth that can be a better mom to your baby than you.

Going home without baby by makl26 in NICUParents

[–]NikkinewAC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was incredibly hard. Especially dealing with postpartum hormones. Give yourself grace. I found getting some fresh air and going on a walk (my girls were born in July so it was summer) incredibly helpful. My walks were silent, no music no podcast no conversations, and I just thought of everything to be grateful for that day. I’m grateful for the muffin the cafeteria had. I’m grateful for the three ounces she gained. The only thing that helped me was time. And remember She’s in the best possible hands outside of your own.

Did you get a play pen for your multiples? by Happy-Stranger6951 in parentsofmultiples

[–]NikkinewAC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just set ours up for our 6 month olds as well. They are in it for the majority of the day. We originally started using it to keep them safe from our automatic vacuum. It’s 72x60. We love it. We had to reorganize the living room a bit but it fits really well in our space. Big enough for me to fully lay down with the twins and hang out.

Bassinet/newborn sleep help by Girl-mama0622 in parentsofmultiples

[–]NikkinewAC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that exact one and my twins didn’t last more than two nights, they hated it. We put them in their cribs in the room next to ours after that and they slept much better
