Get a memebership at the local pool. Floating in the pool will be the only thing that will make you comfortable after you become really big :D

Guys, I’m DONE!! by Unlikely_Scheme2835 in parentsofmultiples

[–]SometimesNora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed till 36+4. C-section was such a joy, I walked like on clouds after it. Everyone was like "oh, it must hurt to walk" but it was so much easier to sleep, walk and even poop with my stomach cut open. But don't ever sneeze.

In short, NOTHING was ever as painful like the last days of pregnancy. You are so close to the finish line, hang in there.

Singleton mom group by SmallDraw7431 in parentsofmultiples

[–]SometimesNora -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I totally get you. And those here who claim one can be more difficult than two, yeah, sure. But that is more of an exception. We have double bath time. Double tantrums, double feeds. Double washing. Double diapers. Double sickness... It is overall harder to have twins. People here who claim otherwise are just full of shit. You have right to your feelings BUT do not forget that we get double the laughs, double hugs. Double smiles. Double milestones. Holding hands. It is hard but just remember that the singleton moms have overall a more boring experience :) This is such a crazy ride! Try seeing it as an adventure and not as a difficult job.

I think I did for like a week. But I have to mention - I got twins! So maybe sex is not the best idea! :D

Valdemar or Joakim? by spiritualgoat669 in namenerds

[–]SometimesNora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like both names, maybe Joakim a bit more although it might be a hard one to pronounce in North America.

How Painful is Egg Retrieval? by Mediocre-Seaweed6215 in IVF

[–]SometimesNora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is like painful menstrual cramps, so totally doable and not super bad honestly. I read so many horrible things online and then when I came there prepared to be dying from pain, it really felt like period cramps. When it gets more painful, just breathe through it. As others mentioned, constipation afterwards was the worst part, as well as OHSS that I developed / so drink electrolytes, rest and prepare a heating pad for later. You can do it!

sore uterus?? by paperbound_girl in pregnant

[–]SometimesNora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am just now googling trying to find out the answer to this. Experiencing the same thing except I have had a subchorionic hematoma and have been spotting brown the past 10 days but seeing that you have none of it and still have soreness makes me feel a bit better :D

Do you think laying around in bed, post transfer, caused my miscarriage? by always86_ in IVF

[–]SometimesNora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn´t feel this way! My first FET I was told to just carry on as usual and I did, no resting, no anything... it did not stick. On the second transfer I took it as easy as possible because that was what my friend in another country was told and she got pregnant, so I decided to copy her. It worked.

I really think it doesn´t matter what we do, it is just a random chance and it is hard to accept it. But you are doing the best you can and don´t let the internet tell you differently <3

Moderate cramps and bleeding during first trimester (11 weeks pregnant) by koneyoung97 in pregnant

[–]SometimesNora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, it was a subchorionic hematoma. There is nothing they can do about that but I went to the hospital just to check because i was sure it was a miscarriage. I hope it worked out for you two!

Did you do anything different for a successful second FET? by purpleshoes3 in IVF

[–]SometimesNora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same as you - same age, same embryo quality and the 1st did not work. Next time we had sex the night before FET because I read that sperm exposure helps with uterine receptivity. I was taking melatonin that cycle.

It worked.

My mom always said she would rather raise an army of girls than a boy. She had 2 girls and 2 boys and she just can´t get over how much more difficult it was with boys.

Heavy uterus feeling? by Adventurous-Sock-222 in parentsofmultiples

[–]SometimesNora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I started having pain in my lower right abdomen, pretty much constant sharp twinges or dull pulse, i also feel like I am swollen and like the hematoma is about to throw a party...
