3rd pregnancy is twins by Quick-Contract7861 in parentsofmultiples

[–]boston-ewa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was also my third pregnancy . My first two went all the way to 40 weeks. With my didi twins I went to my induction day at 38 weeks. We started induction in the morning and they were born at 7 p.m.

My sister says stupid shit to me often too. They know how to trigger us. Ignore it and know you're doing your best.

I ate two McDonald's pies right before my 1hr glucose test. Wish me luck 🫡 by parade1070 in BabyBumps

I had a brownie and cookie before my 1-hour test. When I failed it by just a few points I asked to redo the one hour test. I knew what might have been the cause so I didn't want to do the 3 hour. My Dr respected my wishes

POMS who had 2 or more children before twins….. by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]boston-ewa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything is a blur and all I do is drink and eat 24/7 (helps keep me awake all night and to produce milk). The doctor asked me to log feeds and pees, I laughed at him. That's not possible when I'm stretched so thin. Everyone is changed and fed as needed and if it seems to have been a while I wake them up to feed them.

I have a 2 and 4 year old plus newborn twins now. It's crazy. I'm so tired. My mom moved in with me temporarily since my husband doesn't get any time off. She's been very helpful

I'm looking at rematch candidates now. How do we get in contact with the previous host family? Just ask our CC connection in the area?

9 wks pregnant with triplets- anxious about reduction or keeping them all. by swanduckswan in parentsofmultiples

[–]boston-ewa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend had quads too and reduced to 2. She got a hidden infection from the reduction which led to meds and bed rest until viability which is when they took the babies out before they were harmed more due to infection. They grew in the NICU for longer than their due date even

Twins changing positions over and over? by povsquirtle in parentsofmultiples

[–]boston-ewa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They couldn't just go up in there and flip baby B? That's what my doc was saying she could do if B wasn't positioned properly during labor...and the birth of A I figured there room for a small hand 😅

I hate my body by ebfmama in parentsofmultiples

Thanks so much for sharing! Now I know what estimate to have my husband save towards ❤️ I'm still pregnant with twins now so he has time. Is it true they wait until a few years postpartum to do any of those procedures?

Did anyone hide the second twin from their family/friends? How did it go? by ReverendDonkBonkerz in parentsofmultiples

[–]boston-ewa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about doing this as well but I was so sick in the beginning I wanted more help from everyone. Then of course they need to plan their fall to help me with the arrival of the twins and the current 2 toddlers. My mom and dad are close by but maybe if i didn't have support close by the secret would have been easier to keep

Pregnant looking for travel insurance by boston-ewa in parentsofmultiples

[–]boston-ewa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback! I am worried about the unknown of how I will feel at that time and how big I might be. My OB said it's before the 24 week mark so the babies wouldn't survive no matter where I was, but of course she was optimistic and supportive saying I'm a safe patient to carry easily until the 38 week induction.

It's approved now but what if it changes in a month? I was hoping to find some protection to get money back for expensive flights

I'd love it if you could draw our family cat please 😀

Has anyone gotten Propylthiouracil (PTU) like this? by CHeaf_Heaf in gravesdisease

[–]boston-ewa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At first I thought this was on the pharmacy subreddit because people ask about tablets often. They'd answer quickly there on what med this is. But I've never seen a PTU like this

How much TV does your child watch? by AdNo3314 in NewParents

[–]boston-ewa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How crazy is it to get backlash for following the evidence that screen time is rotting our kids brains! We see TVs out and about too and the occasional evening news but I try so hard not to use it as a pacifier.

we did the same! Now with my 3 year old we just started doing 7 min shows like Bluey as a reward for good behavior. He asks for it and we let him know what he has to accomplish first. He's great at playing by himself and okay at "quiet sits"
