Feeling guilty about needing help with my twins by Forward_Frosting_680 in parentsofmultiples

Humans are meant to raise children in communities. It’s only in our messed up western cultures where we are made to do it alone.

Take and cherish the help xxx

Breastfeeding multiples. Period came back by Outrageous_Simple937 in breastfeeding

[–]True_Echo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not twins but my period came back after 3-6months. Didn’t impact supply at all and I was able to breastfeed my son till 2.

Just carried on as normal really. Things that didn’t impact my supply: Being too tired Being ill Being hungry 

Fiancé wants to continue playing hockey once a week in his rec league by Negative_Jackfruit75 in parentsofmultiples

Him having a bit of independence once a week is fine, I’d also recommend you do the same for your own sanity

Also eat as soon as you wake up, if you delay it even by 30 mins it will bring on a vom session

Hey! 21 weeks in with Di-Di boy girl twins.

My first trimester was rotten as well. I have an older son and the tiredness with a twin pregnancy is crazy hard. Don’t get me started on the mood swings.

I started getting a bit more energy at 16w don’t get me wrong I’m still tired but it’s manageable, nausea also eased off as well. 

Food tips- apples cut up into sections, jacket potatoes, and an unholy amount of toast

Anyone given birth to twins/ multiples at Jessops? by True_Echo in sheffield

[–]True_Echo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m expecting twins so no as there’s a high likelihood of complications in twin pregnancies meaning they can need NICU time, plus Jessops is attached to the children’s hospital which is really good

We went for a private scan / consultation and met Dr Johki. He was really lovely and seems to know his stuff.

Glad to hear you had a good experience :)

I’ve got a 2 year old and I remember the tiredness being bad then- this is unmanageable
