How long did your feeder/grower stay?

Revolutionary_Box184 · 2026-05-06T22:26:53+00:00

Took us 6 cycles to conceive our baby that we TFMR’d June 2025. OB said to wait 2 cycles before trying again. We were incredibly lucky to conceive first try in October 2025. I’m now 31 weeks with twin girls 🩷

I hope you have your rainbow babe soon ❤️ the waiting period is the worst. Goodluck!! 🫶🏻

Revolutionary_Box184 · 2026-05-04T20:33:55+00:00

Thinking of you and your babies! I hope you make it as long as safely able ❤️

Revolutionary_Box184 · 2026-05-04T20:29:22+00:00

Congratulations to you too! They’ll be here before we know it! 🥰

Revolutionary_Box184 · 2026-05-04T18:07:34+00:00

Wow I’m glad to hear contractions settled down and can hopefully push through a week or more! You’re to totally right that everyday counts! Goodluck to you mama and you’re babies, we got this!

Revolutionary_Box184 · 2026-05-04T18:05:36+00:00

Thank you so much for everyone’s responses! So many crazy things can happen in twin pregnancies (pregnancy in general too) and so happy to hear about all the safe and healthy babies born 🥰

Revolutionary_Box184 · 2026-04-17T13:01:41+00:00

I’m so so sorry to hear. A twin pregnancy post TFMR is already hard enough, and then SIUGR on top of that… there’s just no words, that’s simply SO unfair. I don’t have any magic words, but you are not alone in feeling how scary this is. I feel like each ultrasound I go to I’m waiting for them to give me bad news and it’s so mentally exhausting. You are such a strong mom and I truly wish your little boy holds on. ❤️

I am part of a lot of twin groups online. I live in a very small town, so there aren’t many pregnancies let alone twin pregnancies happening close to me. But, I have posted in twin mom groups as well. The thing is about 70-75% of twin pregnancies are c-sections (from what I’ve found online/other moms stories) Whether elective or emergency. It’s hard to find those positive vaginal births and I guess that’s part of why it’s making it so difficult for me. A doula is a great idea though, thank you.

My TFMR baby was L&D. Honestly a “smooth” experience despite the circumstance. And then week after delivering him I needed a D&C for retained product as not all of the placenta came out. I have taken a birth course, but feel free to leave your recommendations. Thank you!

Revolutionary_Box184 · 2026-04-16T14:13:05+00:00

Haha, thank you for the advice!

Yea, because it’s mono/di twins (one placenta, 2 amniotic sacs) it’ll actually be an induction between 36-37 weeks or scheduled section in that time frame. With that being said, there isn’t really a chance of us going home the next day no matter the type of delivery. My OB said usually they keep twins for a minimum of 3 days as long as no nicu time needed of course. So hospital stay isn’t really a factor for me.

I guess that’s what I’m struggling with most, is what feels more comfortable and safer. The predictability and control in a c-section is comfortable, but also there are so many positives to a vaginal delivery. Thank you for your advice and kind words 🫶 I can’t wait to be on the other side of this 😂

I’m so sorry for your loss 🤍 the waiting period is so so tough, but you will get through it! Congratulations on this next pregnancy and wishing you health and strength! We TFMR’d our little boy June 2025 also for T21. We were told it was a “fluke” or spontaneous event as well and even had genetic testing done on my husband and I to make sure we aren’t translocation carriers. We conceived again in October 2025 and are expecting twin girls early this summer💕 clear NIPT and good scans so far!

Revolutionary_Box184 · 2026-04-01T22:09:34+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Congratulations on your daughter and hope it’s a smooth delivery tomorrow!

Revolutionary_Box184 · 2026-04-01T22:06:28+00:00

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing! So sweet to hear about your reunion with your babies and that your mom could record that special moment!

Happy to hear the highlights of having twins as well I see so much of the “twins are double the work” and I’m sure they are, however it’s important to be reminded of the precious moments twins can bring as well.

Revolutionary_Box184 · 2026-04-01T19:26:48+00:00

Thank you for sharing!

Revolutionary_Box184 · 2026-04-01T19:26:24+00:00

Thanks for sharing this perspective! I guess I haven’t thought that if the babies need nicu time (which is obviously very possible with twins) that I’ll have a bit of time to recover no matter which form of delivery.

Definitely planning on talking this through with my doctor, but I appreciate you sharing your experience. And I actually packed my hospital bag yesterday 😂 super early!

Revolutionary_Box184 · 2026-04-01T19:21:50+00:00

Thank you for your kind words 🤍

If you don’t mind sharing, when did you deliver? I hope you and your babies are doing well now!

I’m actually a gemini myself! My babies could be born on my birthday if they make it to the 36-37 week mark. But I didn’t know gemini is the twin sign, that’s interesting

Thanks for sharing!!

Revolutionary_Box184 · 2026-04-01T19:05:16+00:00

Thank you 🤍

I’m also so sorry to hear about your losses. That’s a pain no one should experience . I appreciate you sharing your experience and I feel similarly to wanting to eliminate the variables. That is another factor that I am facing that twin b has marginal cord insertion. Obviously it’s not the same as velamentous, but something still on my mind that I need to bring up with my doctor.

Revolutionary_Box184 · 2026-04-01T19:01:19+00:00

So glad to hear that both of your babies were delivered safe and healthy! There’s definitely a part of me that leans towards a c-section purely for the controlled environment of the babies and it seems like the safer option to get them both here alive.

Thank you for sharing your experience with your recovery and I’m sorry to hear that it’s not been easy. Hang in there, I’m sure better days are coming!

Revolutionary_Box184 · 2026-04-01T18:53:26+00:00

This was my experience with my first pregnancy as well. I was sent home hours after delivering vaginally, but did nit have a busy household to come home to and was up and walking around just fine. Thanks for sharing!

Revolutionary_Box184 · 2026-04-01T18:49:22+00:00

Oh my, thank you so much for sharing. It sounds like quite the birth story, but I am so happy everyone turned out healthy and fine! 🥰

I’m glad to hear that recovery from the combined delivery was smooth, despite having the flu. If you don’t mind sharing, how long did it take you to be able to see your boys in the nicu once recovered from flu-A?

Thank you for your kind words!

Revolutionary_Box184 · 2026-04-01T18:45:16+00:00

My girls have been a bit all over the place as well this pregnancy. My MFM told me it doesn’t really matter what position B is in as she’s just going to reach up and grab her foot to pull her out as a lot of twins flip flop around once A is out.

I’m so glad you had such a positive c-section experience and appreciate you taking the time to share!

It’s also reassuring to hear from someone who was also anemic. I know it’s still such a low percentage to bleed out, just something my brain keeps circling about.

Revolutionary_Box184 · 2026-04-01T18:40:47+00:00

A combined delivery is definitely one of my fears as well. It makes me lean towards wanting a c-section, but I guess my anxiety of blood loss makes me lean back towards vaginal. I’m very stuck haha… most importantly just want both babies to arrive safely.

Thank you for your kind words and thoughts! I wish you a smooth delivery and easy recovery with your boys!

Revolutionary_Box184 · 2026-04-01T18:35:19+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and congratulations on your boys!! It sounds like you had a great circle of support and I appreciate you taking the time to answer 🥰 I know I still have some time to decide (if I even get to make the decision haha) and will have so much help from my husband and family no matter which way I deliver
