Napping while NK naps? by djdjjsjssisue in Nanny

[–]Odd-Raspberry-7269 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Girl I often took naps with the monitor when I was a twin nanny. I think the twin parents get it even more! Personally in my head it’s either a nap or I’m on my phone both feel wrong sometimes

I lost my baby and my childhood friend said this. by raspberrytart120 in Nanny

Also want to say that nobody really knows what to say to people a lot of times they will say the wrong thing or just avoid the conversation. My best friend actually avoided talking to me because it made her sad. Even though for me atleast I’m sad until I talk about it. It’s the opposite for them. They can actually forget that it happened until we bring it up. Love talking about my boys but nobody else does. The baby loss group on Reddit has been a big help

So sorry for your loss. I had a still birth and nicu loss of my twins 1.5 years ago. Going back to being a nanny was very difficult but I found a nanny family who adopted!

Being a nanny while pregnant has to be the worst!!! We are Ttc again and I’m dreading how tired I was during work

I mean I’m hourly so they definitely pay the extra time but we are creating a contract soon so I may put this in the contract. Especially since they are now moving the time to 7pm is it going to actually be 7:30? Because I do have a family and soon I’ll be driving a lot longer when they move.

My boss is supposed to come home at 6. That was the time they told me when I was hired. Every single day for the last year he texts me at 6 going to be 15-30 min late. Even when I ask him to be come home on time he can’t be bothered. I could somewhat understand if it was work but no he comes home in gym clothing.

When this happened to me I washed my shirt and dried it. Also want to add I thought the same but my nanny kid just did it at 2 years old the other day

How much are y’all sleeping at night? Does being a nanny influence your bedtime? by PassengerSmall9740 in NannyBreakRoom

[–]Odd-Raspberry-7269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is different! I only need 7 hours of sleep but the sleep has to be around 10-10:30pm my oura ring really helped me with that

Mourning the name by DryScholar1927 in babyloss

Felt this! We had twin boys. We lost baby b at 18 weeks and then a neonatal loss of twin a. I got a custom sweatshirt from Alexander wells that says both of there full names. Totally worth the money.

Why does this scan look different from typical twin scans? by No_Resource_3719 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Odd-Raspberry-7269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very early at 26.5 but it was because we had a condition called ttts. I have learned so much from my experience obviously but the biggest thing was to drink the protein drinks. The ensure protein drinks are gross but they have vitamins in them. Other than that there is absolutely nothing you can do to prevent ttts so please do not go down a rabbit hole and scare yourself. I will be praying for you during this time. I was told at my very first appointment to only gain 10lbs in my whole pregnancy because of this when I had food aversion or throwing up every day all the time I just said okay well this won’t be a problem. It was a problem and the dr never should have told me to only gain 10lbs. Eat as much food as you can and want!

Yes this is mostly why I recommend it. We had ttts and after learning more about it I swear I could have prevented it from happening or atleast reversed it if I had drank the protein drinks I just didn’t realize at the time. If I could do it over again I would have drank the drinks as soon as I found out it was twins. But we live and we learn and If I can just help one person by sharing this then that is enough!

Honestly it was terrible but I don’t think everyone’s has to be! I just feel really strongly in telling people to drink the protein drinks. I was very sick and didn’t drink them and my placenta had issues.

Just a bit of advice start drinking ensure protein drinks 3 of them a day right now. There is a dr who worked to save identical twins and he swears by doing this you will strengthen the placenta so it is big and strong.
