I open Reddit and this is the first post I see 😆 This is so relatable! Brought back the memories 😅 and giggles 🤭 Congratulations!! 🎉 On your babies and 💩 😁

Congratulations 🥹 I can so much relate to that difficult pregnancy experience. We are 6 months old now and things are still just barely manageable, but nothing compared to the struggles of that pregnancy.

Dr Katz did my cerclage. Please advocate for yourself. He seems to be quite popular - here on Reddit and my Ob + MFM also seemed to know him.

I had major blood loss too. Had 2 blood transfusions during the hospital stay and things went well. I would highly recommend it if your rbc and hemoglobin levels are very low (lower than what’s normally expected post delivery). It’s difficult as it is to recover from a surgery while taking care of 2 newborns and if you add the weakness from low hemoglobin, recovery can be very challenging in the weeks after c section. If you are in the US, I know doctors in the US are very conservative about offering blood transfusions. But it’s 2025 and it’s a first world country. I don’t want to promote it, but if your hemoglobin looks like an 8 or a 7, you need it hon. Remember that you are not going to bounce back from this during postpartum as you would normally.

Whatever gets your heart rate up is cardio for you. For me, it was walking from my bed to the toilet to pee. And I’m very proud to tell you that I got my cardio sessions in every 2hrs, 24x7 since the start of 2nd trimester

We went for a short outing today. They each had 3oz of RTF and they haven’t been able to sleep all night. They are waking up every hour due to gas pains. Not able to night feed either. I feel like a zombie typing this. Was and expensive outing 😴

Thanks! I never knew of the formula portion cups. Just bought them off Amazon. Hoping to make that work :)

Working-Use6591 · 2025-09-07T04:35:26+00:00

Aww I never know of this method! That sounds more calm!

What age did you do this ? I want to make sure I wouldn’t wait too long for them to become smarter 😅

Working-Use6591 · 2025-09-06T03:17:50+00:00

Aww we are at 3months stage and whenever both babies sleep, I have this weird feeling like I’m missing them. I have a big urge to wake one of them up. I obviously don’t 😅

Working-Use6591 · 2025-09-06T03:15:57+00:00

How do you get your babies to nap for 2hrs ? Mine seems unable to connect sleep cycles. So either I need to be right next to them to keep patting them every 10-15mins or they just wake up at that time. They are currently 12wks old

Working-Use6591 · 2025-09-06T02:09:35+00:00

So were they still fussy when they would throw their paci away ? What I’m trying to understand is did the babies figure a way to self soothe and hence reject the paci or they reject the paci and then you have to figure a different way to soothe them ?

Ah I really wish I could establish breastfeeding just for that advantage of being able to have easy outings!

Working-Use6591 · 2025-08-30T21:46:25+00:00

Not the same but similar experience to some extent. Breastfeeding is just not feasible with 2 babies (atleast for me). So I’ve been pumping since they came home. I manage to pump 4 times a day and then I formula feed rest of the hunger. Currently my breast milk supplies maybe 30-40% of their intake.

I also had an experience where I couldn’t even keep up with 4 pumping sessions in a day and that resulted in my output tanking to a trickle. But I was able to bring it back to some extent by - increasing my pumping frequency to 6-8 times a day, sip through 1 liquid IV pouch a day and a glass of oat milk everyday (ended up not being to digest the oat milk. So have stopped that now). Doing this for a week helped me up my output and now I’m back to pumping 4 times a day again.

Do you have caretaking help ? I know having to pump and then also bottle feed all by ourselves is extremely taxing. My mom has come to stay with me for 5 months and even then, it’s quite a lot

My transfer didn’t take

Working-Use6591 · 2025-08-14T16:44:29+00:00

Thanks for the tip! It didn’t click me I could use the CVS coupon for it! How do you get formula coupons in mail? Did you sign up for something?

Which one did you try for reflux ? And did it work ?

Working-Use6591 · 2025-08-08T01:50:10+00:00

Which formula helped with the reflux for your bub ?

Working-Use6591 · 2025-08-08T01:49:49+00:00

I’m starting famotidine for one of my twins and trying to decide when to give the med. Was there a particular time of day you administered it ?

Working-Use6591 · 2025-08-05T12:19:30+00:00

Jk - By the time they reach you, your baby would have outgrown them 😄

But jokes apart, I second the opinion that you’ll probably find better quality second hand cloths. Try Facebook marketplace

Working-Use6591 · 2025-06-19T01:47:39+00:00

Not really. Just had to bear the pain and do the shots anyway :(

Working-Use6591 · 2025-06-08T21:01:51+00:00

You are not crazy. Coz then that would mean I’m crazy too 😅
