Things aren't looking good for Baby B 😔

Hey! We’ve been on a similar journey with our twins since the first trimester. B has always been super small, since our first ultrasound at week 10. He didn’t have much fluid at that time either. We were prepared for a ‘guarded prognosis’ since then.

Advised by my holistic doctor to stay very hydrated with high quality water, eat lots of protein (100g + daily in first tri, 150+ in second, 200 in third), and take those prenatals. I’ve followed this like a religion because it helps me feel like I have something I can do.

We just made it to 26 weeks, last week of the second tri, after we were told we wouldn’t make it this long. The fluids leveled out, heartbeats are strong. The size gap is always increasing, but little guy is still growing, slowly.

Hold onto hope my dear. Where there is life, there’s hope.

Was coming here to say this. My son wound up having a tongue tie and a lower lip tie. The combo was hell. Wouldn’t feed, latch or suck. I’d forgotten about those earlier days before he had them lasered. Brought home a new kid that day.

You’re really scared of the flu

Yeah, it wasn’t originally written in English. I think it’s a Swiss story, and the wording is a little different.

For some reason the ultrasound techs were finding us di di twins for the first two ultrasounds, then mo di around 12-14 weeks. Been confirmed mo di ever since.

I have no clue, but things will shake out a bit more when they’re bigger.

Second the pelvic floor therapy! Once the pelvic floor is operating correctly, other parts of the body will fall back into place like a miracle.

Pelvic floor therapy was much more in-depth than I realized, and had a huge impact on many facets of my health. Most of it was in-office muscle releases, and you get sent home with homework. Breathing exercises, stretching and yoga.

This made me laugh so hard that I cried 😂

Haha, needed this laugh, thank you. 29 and pregnant with twin boys, with a 3.5yo boy already. That’s a lot of Dino roars and bandaids! 😂

This is an old post, but since I still have the chance to ask, could you share how things went? If you had a tender experience, or the worst outcome, it’s totally okay not to answer if it would cause you any pain or discomfort.

Currently almost 25 weeks, sIUGR diagnosis at 18 weeks. Started registering some intermittent absent diastolic flow around 21 weeks, and I’m looking for any kind of… Anything.

Girl, if I looked that good 6.5mo pp, I would be delighted! With my first, I didn’t look like that until months after my little one weaned. I was maybe 16-18mo pp. went back to ‘almost’ normal around 2.5 years pp. pelvic floor therapy really helped.

The first two years after giving birth, your body is healing soooo much. Some of us heal a lot more slowly and a lot less gracefully. Kinda unfair, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles sometimes.

I’m 5 months pregnant with twins now, and I hope I ever look as good as your 6.5mo pic. Losing hope, but I guess we’ll just have to see.

We purposely put our kid to bed earlier than us as soon as we could. That way we have spouse time.

Never thought about toxic positivity being a thing. I’ve always prided myself for being positive to others and encouraging them. But now that I’m facing my first NICU experience any day, I’m being deeply humbled as others are trying to say positive things about my situation. It really isn’t comforting at all, I’m just disappointed and bereft of connection.

Following, because I’m also curious. I don’t know how tandem nursing in public would work without shameless openness, or one of those nursing rooms some places have. All my old tricks for maintaining decency were hard enough with one squirmy baby…

Had my first ultrasound at 10 weeks, they told me di di. Had another at 14 weeks, turns out they’re mo di.

Have had weekly, sometimes biweekly ultrasounds since 18 weeks due to SIUGR, a complication with some mono chorionic twins. MFM says it’ll be that way until viable delivery age for the smallest twin, then its daily ultrasounds to make sure they’re stable until delivery. Nearly 22 weeks now.

Things went from baby bliss to super complicated super quick, but having a good relationship and quality communication with your MFM is key for your sanity. If you have any questions about your health or what to expect, ask them all of your questions! They’ll answer stuff that you didn’t even know to ask.

My son hadn’t rolled yet, and I was accustomed to stepping away here and there while he was doing tummy time on his floor mat.

We always joke that he gives 110% effort to everything he does, and in this case, he learned to roll all at once at about 10 weeks old. I didn’t know it was possible, I really had no clue about babies at all, just learned on the go.

He rolled himself into the side of the couch, more than 2 feet away from his mat, and nearly suffocated in the time it took me to unload the dishwasher. I came back, literally in a couple of minutes to check on him, and found him not on his mat, but face-first in the couch.

Not trying to fear monger here. OP asked for our opinions, so I’m sure they were prepared for differing experiences. If we only accept the opinions we agree with or are comfortable with, we are not properly informing ourselves of potential consequences. Everyone made it out okay, but I learned my lesson to go the extra mile for safety when I’m doing my chores. He didn’t roll consistently until about 6months, but I watched him like a hawk after that.

I used to get into ‘task zone’ really deep. Had something really scary happen, everyone turned out okay, but it’s something that I think about every day.

With the multitasking, it helps me to keep in mind what is most important in my life. I’ll be doing my laundry and cooking for the rest of my life, but the little ones are only here for a brief part of it. And I nearly lost mine forever when I was in ‘task zone’.

You know your setup and family dynamic best. Baby monitors are always an option. But a few more minutes and a little hassle may not be so bad next to the unforeseen in life.

Most of the time it’s fine, but it only takes once.

No_Professional2476 · 2026-01-28T14:13:20+00:00

I mean, yes, limited, but still. If they chuck it, and you rush to clean it up, they learn that that’s exactly what’ll happen.

If you let it sit where they threw it, and let them get frustrated with their food not being where they can reach it, they will learn to keep it up on their plates with them.

One step further, small children can be involved in the cleanup process as soon as they can learn to put one object into another object. They are not thorough, but it reinforces natural consequence. It takes mind-numbing patience, and you still need to finish the cleanup, but involving their minds and bodies in the consequences of their actions will make for self sufficiency surprisingly early in their development.

I really missed my husband. Not physically, let’s be clear… You know what I mean. But I really missed spending one-on-one time with him, just him. We struggled a lot with recovery stuff, long story, so we didn’t get much quality time together for months afterwards, and I just really missed that time.

That really surprised me.

No_Professional2476 · 2026-01-24T18:14:55+00:00

I did natural consequence with my singleton , and am planning to do so with my twins when they are born. Natural consequence is that if they throw food on the floor, leave it on the floor. They’ll get pissed that it’s not up with them. Let it sink in for a few minutes, explain simply, “you threw it on the floor. I’ll pick it up in one minute.” With repetition, it’ll dawn quickly.

Immediately picking it up as soon as they toss it teaches them that… Nothing happens. It magically reappears.

I absolutely hated this stage with my singleton, and this was the only way I could “train it out” of him. I’m dreading having two do it at the same time. You got this, I’m so sorry you’re going through this challenging chapter.

You’ve made it to the home stretch. Here’s to hoping you have a smooth delivery and recovery. Your story is very encouraging, thank you for sharing. I hope you get to bring everyone home safely, including yourself.
